What Do You Bring For Lunch on the Water?

It’s funny how all of you guys are trying so hard not to poop on the water. Just this Saturday I had to beach the boat twice and make a trip to the woods, usually just hang over the side of the boat and drop it but I was on a small body of water with like 20 other people so that wasn’t happening. I never leave the house without some TP, never know when it’s gonna sneak up on you.

Just in case ~

For me it's always coffee, iced or hot.... Water and some type of protein bar is a must.  I don't get hungry when fishing but am mindful of sugar swings.  I work with kids and adults that have type 1 diabetes so I ALWAYS have some of their favorites. I have had people crach on white water kayak trips, football games and fishing trips.  My go bag could feel a couple people for a couple days ?....Also have 2 epi pens for one student with airborne peanut allergies......Be Prepared!

Coupla water bottles, thermos of coffee.  maybe a bagel or simple sandwich or two.  This might seem kinda odd but I always try to eat slowly when I'm on the water.  It got in my head one day when I was wolfing down a sandwich that if I choked out on the water by myself, I was a dead man

Tournament days I only Macho Man Randy Savage some slim jims.  Only time I will eat them but its turned into a ritual.

I used to do all day training seminars. It taught me what not to eat beforehand in order to avoid a digestive calamity and an embarrassing mad dash to a public terlit. My number one goal is no prarie doggin' when I'm on a hot bite. Three protein bars and a small water and I'm good for however long. One of the dudes showed up to the boat one trip with a bag of sausages to snack on. An odd choice.  He ate 'em all himself and paid dearly. Four beachings. He had to take care of business in a panic while wearing shorts and flip flops in a woods full of deer ticks and chiggers. That won't be me. No siree.

A boat is no place to experiment with your diet, especially someone else's boat 

 

I just eat what I would normally eat on any day, more or less. I don't walk around every day with random turd cramps so I don't expect problems on the water either. Most people I've known that crap all the time are pretty large in size. Maybe that's part of it?

 

I had a friend who would need to go every time he came to my house (or anyone's house). Like a dog. It was a running joke. Same guy who dropped one on the golf course. Pretty sure I mentioned that already. When the PGA rule book mentions "taking relief" that isn't...really what it's referring to!  

 

Eating is perhaps life's greatest pleasure. Good food never gets old. Ever. I look forward to food when I'm fishing, especially if I ain't catching. It's a good time to relax and regroup.

 

I'm thinking about getting one of those mini water filters that you can use on the go. Gotta see if it's safe to use in my area. I've run out of water before and that sucks. I had to leave early once. Water is heavy, especially when bank fishing.

This has been a really entertaining thread. After reading through, I have come to the conclusion that some of you eat much healthier than me...and some of you have the diet of a goat.?

 

When I was a kid and my dad and I would go fishing out in the boat, he definitely had the diet of a goat. As I got a little older as a teen, it became a joke to him to pack the boat food bag and only pack stuff that I thought was disgusting. His average boat lunch bag would include sardines, Vienna sausages, Spam, and cans of Beenie Weenies. I finally got smart and started packing my own bag.

Nice video, Glenn! Never thought about coconut water.

 

When I was little, Grandpa would always bring a hard boiled egg. Lots of protein and it comes in it's own package. Doesn't need to be refrigerated either.

Out on the water chasing green fish I like to bring either a few *Smuckers Uncrustables or a couple of fried egg sandwiches, beef jerky, dried mangoes and a Snickers bar. A cup of coffee or two to start the day, and water and diet soda to drink.

 

Going out salmon or rock cod fishing in the salt, I’ll bring some hard boiled eggs, a couple of tuna & onion sandwiches, a couple of salami and cheese sandwiches, apples, water, diet sodas and a thermos of coffee.

 

*IMHO a pretty good alternative to making pb&j sandwiches, they’re frozen and thaw out in the cooler ready to eat traveling between fishing spots 

[FrankN209]

Some coffee, another drink like gatorade or similar and beef jerky..

I'm lucky to get out of the house with socks that match and all the stuff I wanted to bring. Implying that I'd think far enough ahead to pack food is giving me entirely too much credit. Often as not I'll just run into a gas station and grab a drink and some gummy bears or something to tide me over.

I'll bring snacks and some drinks, but for a lunch break we'll float up to a lake side restaurant, dock and eat at that establishment.
