Super User geo g Posted February 16, 2014 Super User Posted February 16, 2014 Kebler peanut butter cheese crackers are hard to beat. Ill take 2 or 3 packs. Lots of frozen water bottles. There is always one thawing on the deck. On a long trip 3 PBJ sandwiches. Quote
Vzwire Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Whatever my wife packs for me the night before... Usually a turkey and cheese or ham sandwich, a bag of chips, a cheese stick, and a little Debbie of some sort. Oh, and a love note wishing me luck. Gawd I love that woman! 2 Quote
TC235 <*))))>< Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Fishing tends to make me neglect the important things to bring along like food, water, uv/bug spray, etc... Running outta the door at 3:00am to hit the pond stumbiling around in the dark viciously trying to get the boat out before the sun even rises for another 2 hours.. Yet i always remember every bit of gear and more than likley dont use half of it. Yea guess theres a problem.. 2 Quote
FrogFreak Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I don't eat breakfast. I do my business when the motor is warming up (in the bathroom). On the water I bring natures valley granola bars and coffee. I have a mug that plugs into the lighter deal so it stays warm! I usually take a break around 11 am and my wife makes breakfast burritos.

Super User bigbill Posted February 17, 2014 Super User Posted February 17, 2014 We pack P&J sandwiches some slim Jim's, we get egg/bacon fresh sandwiches on the way to fishing. The usual morning coffee and soda to drink. But lately I drink more coffee and water. Being a diabetic I bring chocolate just incase or regular soda if my sugar goes too low. I like the p&j so I can hold them in my hand by the wrapper. The slim Jim's too. I'm going to fish very hard this season. Bill Before the season begins a new can of bug spray goes in a plastic bag in my tackle box. Quote
jignfule Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Sandwich, cliff bars, granolas bars, water. In the summer we can be out on the water 12hrs + . Got to be full and happy. 1 Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted February 17, 2014 Super User Posted February 17, 2014 Couple times on my friends boat it has been combos and Gatorade. I usually don't bring anything to snack on but always have water and Gatorade with me Quote
MichiganFishing1997 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 On the way to the ramp in the morning I always stop at Tim Hortons, then I have a cooler with Powerade or Gatorade, Power Bars, a bag of chips, and if im staying out for a long time I will make sandwiches. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted February 18, 2014 Super User Posted February 18, 2014 always got a bag of beef jereky with me, and some kind of drink water, gaterade etc. and i always have a tin of grizzly! 1 Quote
Bob C Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 How do you guys stay out so long? I can go 4 hrs. max and I've got get rid of my morning coffee. I fish small lakes with houses all around. You can't just stand up and cut loose. Last summer there was a guy anchored about 150 ft. off shore. I was drifting along the shore and he never saw me. I was about 25 ft. from him between him and shore when he stood up and emptied himself in a coffee can. As he turned to empty it he saw me and was obviously embarrassed and pulled anchor and headed for the ramp. Good thing he had his back to us as my wife was with me. We got a laugh out it. Now when I go out the wife asks if I have my Folgers can. Quote
Jason Short Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Cold chicken, BBQ beef, or ham sandwiches, granola bars, jerky, lots of sunflower seeds, tons of water, usually some cookies or something that my mom makes. There's a lot of salt but I just drink lots of water and I'm fine. Quote
lanzbass Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Turkey sandwich, thermos of decaf coffee ,water jug and trail mix... Quote
Texfisherman Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I'm starving now that I've read all of this. Jerky for sure, chips, store bought sandwiches, energy drinks, Gatorade and water. Quote
SnazzySenko Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Wow guys! You blew this thread up! Some interesting stuff here, thanks for the responses. I see most fisherman love to snack on beef jerky! Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted February 18, 2014 Super User Posted February 18, 2014 Water, power aid, an energy bar, and Copenhagen. 1 Quote
Brian Needham Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Can't believe Brian has not chimed in.......he carries a small convenience store with him. HA! I just now saw this thread...... and it is true, I eat good on the water, and am always prepared for meeting an army of folks that may be hungry. Ham and cheese sandwiches , pringles, saltine crackers, ritz crackers, peanut butter, chili cheese fritos, rice crispy treats, slim jims/cheese packs, beef jerky assorted nuts, peanuts, almonds ect , goldfish crackers, snickers, twix, paydays,....oh yeah, Nutter butters! and those little grandmas crème cookie sandwiches(love those), and sometimes a variety of little debbies.... I try not to do a bunch of chocolates cause the melt and don't keep well in a boat. and at least a 12 pack of Diet Cokes in the cooler and another in storage. there you have it.......Needham's on the water buffet ... subject to change by season and how many times kids have been in my boat!! 1 Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 19, 2014 Super User Posted February 19, 2014 For tourneys: Always doughnuts from Thorntons and a milk for breakfast. Sub sammiches, and apples and a ton of water for the day. Quote
coots Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Made the mistake of forgetting my water at home last year. That will be the last time I ever.. and I mean EVER go without something to drink. Anyway, as far as food goes. We usually make some type of sandwiches as well. However, I've found out that a banana goes a long way out there. List goes something likeSandwich (PB&J, anything else)Jerky - all kinds of flavorsBananaCrackers - we like the Lance Variety PacksSunflower Seedshungry? why wait? Grab a snickers! Quote
EvanT123 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I'm not one to preach anything however I always try and eat a balanced diet the reality is different though. When I know I'm going to be fishing the greasy food is off. A nature bar and water works for me. No one wants to drive home and feel like they are going to pass out lol. Quote
96ecss Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 It varies depending on how long I'm going to be out. If it's just for a few hours I just bring water and maybe a granola bar. If I'm going to be out all day I bring any combination of the following. Sandwiches - PB&J and maybe a turkey sandwich or a hoagie. Peanut butter crackers Trail mix Granola bars Chips or cookies Diet Coke Water Gatorade Dave Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted February 19, 2014 Super User Posted February 19, 2014 I'm finding it interesting that not to many take an apple. A Honey Crisp munched between spots is great for both fluid and norishment and taste's pretty good to. Also like water or gatoraid PNB and J Subway Sand Granola or nuts (yup I'm a muncher)..happens when ya loose fourty pounds the wrong way!! P.S. Basically I don't fish anymore without something. Sometimes even during a tourney I'll find myself sitting back for five minitues reflecting on why thing's are %$!@ing. It sometimes helps. Quote

Bob C Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 City boys. I'll pee anywhere, anytime for anyone. I've been in a few houses on these lakes. They all seem to have binoculars or a telescope in the window. Quote
