Super User Choporoz Posted October 25, 2017 Super User Posted October 25, 2017 I always eat before I go out....and take a couple granola bars along....and usually they are the same couple that I took previous time out, because I forget to eat most of the time. As long as I have 2-3 bottles of water, I'm good. 1 1 Quote

Plenty of water, apples, protein bars and Powerade. I don't play....10-12 hrs in the FL sun ain't no joke. You're a fiction writer, right? :-) Fried chicken from the deli. I like the thighs best, but chicken fingers are less messy in the boat. + a couple waters, Gatorade, and a big Payday. Quote

Those things never go on sale. You can always get one of the cheaper knockoffs from RTIC or ORCA. SO what if they only hold ice for 8 days instead of 10 like the Yeti. For a day trip on the boat they are fine. Use the money saved to buy a new rod and a Yeti Sticker to slap on the knockoff. 3 Quote
DroneFisher Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 PB Crackers and some jerky are always staples on my boat. Dont really want to stop and eat lunch when I can snack and keep fishing. Quote

Super User the reel ess Posted October 25, 2017 Super User Posted October 25, 2017 My best memories from childhood are of my dad and I going and we would stop by my grandfather's store and get a couple cans of Beanie Weenies and saltines with a couple Little Debbie oatmeal pies. I take nothing but a small cooler with water and occasionally a couple beers. I might take a granola bar if I'm going to be there a long time and I might start with one cup of coffee if I go really early. I can't help but think the times my hands are busy with food and drink are the times my PB would have bitten if I'd had a hook in the water. Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted October 25, 2017 Super User Posted October 25, 2017 Usually a Nurti-grain bar or granola bar in the morning. And then I bring Swedish Fish or those Trolli multicolored crawler worms to snack on throughout the day, because, you know, I'm still a kid at heart... Quote

Super User Gundog Posted October 25, 2017 Super User Posted October 25, 2017 I never understood the whole "no bananas on the boat" thing. How do you think bananas get here? ON BOATS!!! Ask Harry Belafonte. He'll tell ya. DAY-O! If they make the journey they must be lucky. As far as lunch goes, fish sandwich, fish sticks and Swedish fish. It scares the bass when they see what might happen to them. Quote

I bought it in about 1980, and it's still in the garage right now. Just this summer one of the rivets holding the handle broke, and I'm going to figure out a way to repair it. We have been all over the Rocky Mountain West together over the last 37 years. For a relatively cheap small cooler (couldn't have cost more than $20 new), it has been a rock - served as food storage and camp stool on too many overnighters to count. I'd buy a new one if they still existed. Nothing that Coleman offers today even comes close. If you look closely at this photo you can see the red top of the cooler in the bed behind the driver's seat. That is my 1980 Toyota 4x4 which I owned from '82-'89, and the cooler is the same one I'm still using. 2 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted October 25, 2017 Super User Posted October 25, 2017 Cliff Bar & a Cheese Stick is a standard ~ And if I feel like really splurging and they're open when I go by, a Foot Long Subway Melt on Wheat with Double Meat is pretty Killer. A-Jay 1 Quote

I asked a guy I work with you was in the Navy and he had never heard of it. I've only heard fisherman talk about it. Navy guys? @A-Jay ? Bananas on boats? Quote

First off - I fixed that one for you ~ Second, as to "the Myth" - back in the day of sailing ships - old timey sailors avoided bananas on boats because they emit Ethylene which causes other fruits around them to ripen quickly (and then to rot). Which on a long voyage is not good. Also I think there was a highly venomous "banana spider' that hid in the bunches & was killing deck hands on these ships as well. Can't say how that turned into a "Bad Luck" thing. A-Jay 1 1 Quote

Perhaps J, but I think the spider thing was an actual deal too. btw - I eat a banana with breakfast Almost Every Day - except the mornings I'm going fishing - then it's something else. Yup - I'm a freak. A-Jay 1 1 Quote

Ya ~ You know what it's like . . . . . I think next season I'm going to have a banana at the ready and when I hook up I'll start the GoPro and stuff the banana in my pie hole . . . May not even peel it first. I can already tell - It's gonna be a long cold winter. A-Jay 2 Quote

Bassin' Brad Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 I looked up the bannana on a fishing boat myth and there is lots of ideas on where that came from. Both ideas that were mentioned above and about a dozen others, most of which make very little sense! One of them was that bannanas ripen quickly so the boat carrying them had to travel fast and therefore you didn't usually catch fish....and one was that the crew would slip and fall on the bannana peels and be injured, (classic Mario cart scene right there) There is a myth saying that a boat full of bannanas had a strange bacteria that killed the whole crew.....the list goes on and on.

Super User bigbill Posted October 25, 2017 Author Super User Posted October 25, 2017 No slim Jim’s? Cheese sticks is a good one too the poly o cheese. I’d rather have half sammiches because a whole sammach takes too long to eat. A fish might strike. The best time to eat is when throwing a split shot rigged worm it’s the slowest presentation there is. but the salami/cheese with the mustard/relish (hot dog relish) tastes great, no mayo in the heat. yup changed the oil/filter in the jeep/plow, she’s a 55 and still fiesty for an old gal. Lots of snow? Maybe. Quote
