I’m in a kayak so I don’t bring much. 
 

maybe a thermos full of black bean salad, a single sandwich.   Lately I’ve been making Onigiri.  A Japanese rice ball flavored with Furikaki.  A seaweed seasoning.  
 

you all. ?   
 

oh. Lots of water in a bladder.   About 2.5L

Protein shakes, crackers, and plenty of water while on the water. I eat breakfast before the trip and immediately eat when I get home.

Good idea! I'm old school so when I catch a dink, I eat it like a sardine.

I don’t have a routine snack that I bring and it also depends on whether I’m daytime or nighttime fishing. I like Jerky, peanuts, or a meal from home. My favorite to bring on the water is kimbap when I have some made. It’s like a picnic on the water

In the cold weather seasons I’ll bring some chili or soup in a thermos. When it’s nice out it maybe a sandwich or slice of cold pizza. Sometimes some granola bars or sunflower seeds. Always hot coffee, and lots of water. 
 

I often forget all about my food when I’m actually on the water. Or I tell myself “one more cast and I’m gonna eat for a couple minutes”. Then it’s 50 casts later and I haven’t touched it.

I carry snacks and plenty of water with me. If it’s going to be a long day I also bring something more substantial to eat. I am diabetic, so I have to consider keeping my sugar in good shape while I am out.

I don’t eat in the boat.  I have a big breakfast before I go.  I carry water and a protein drink in the boat but I rarely drink either.  I’m going fishing not picking.

Same routine every time.

Banana, trail mix, protein bar and 48oz of water.

I eat breakfast before every outing as well.

straight Genius.  when I fish with my bass boat bud,  I bring the same.  mostly because he is eating meat, and gets annoyed I bring a rice thing for him.  hahaha

 

 

my friend handed me a protien drink last week.  it was kinda nice.  he bought them from Costco I think.  I have bad memories of them.  I was a tiny kid and had to police my dad and make him drink them when he was getting his butt kicked by cancer and chemo.  not sure I will ever go and buy my own stash.  "mom, he not drinking it!!"

Great topic! You guys know I fish in canoe, which is a wet boat, so I choose my snacks accordingly. I bought a bulk box of peanuts, some dipped in honey, and I think that'll be a good snack because I crave salt on the water and peanuts are loaded with energy. I take Hint or Bai, which are flavored waters, but I don't always finish them. A canoe and my plumbing make bathroom breaks tricky, so I mostly just drink when I'm thirsty, but don't worry: I steadily drink when I'm off the water meaning I'm well-hydrated the rest of my life.

Same thing every time, coffee, water, and a couple fig boys. Sometimes a Clif bar on the way home.

I fish a lot through the summer, so staying hydrated is really important. I bring a couple of salty snacks; almonds, pretzels, etc. bread of some kind, like a roll or bagel. And maybe some apple slices. Plus lots of water and/or Gatorade.

I'll take Summer sausage , cheese and crackers a lot. Other times a sandwhich of some sort.

I eat once a day, so all I bring is a cup of coffee and an electrolyte drink.

Crackers, gatorade or water, sometimes soft mints to assuage my sweet tooth.

I go light.

I'm a mostly routine type of human.

That includes the timing of my meals.

Just works for me.

So regardless of where I am, I make the extra effort to prepare, bring & eat on time. 

Always have food & drink on the one water and in the truck for the ride home.

I will say, I'm not a big fan of skipping meals but when the bite is right, I do it.

Dropping a duce into Lake Menderchuck is not at the top of my list either.

So I will regulate my portions to meet that end.

Sandwiches, Cliff bars, Protein bars and fruit are routine menu items.

(but NO Bananas !)

My favorite deal is when I end up eating my whole cooler full on the ride home 

because the fish were good to me that day.

:smiley:

I try to eat something before I go when I fish in the morning.  It's hard to get up even earlier to "make" a decent breakfast though.

 

My 40 ounce yeti gets used every outing when I start in the morning.  Straight up black coffee.

 

I'll often bring something like a granola bar, an apple, beef jerky, etc.  I rarely fish all day long though so I don't bring an actual "lunch" or "meal" with.  I just eat when I get back home.

 

Staying hydrated is always important as well.  Don't wait until you're thirsty.  Drink plenty of fluids over time.

I'm usually out on my kayak for at least 6 hrs, so that's a decent amount of paddling.

I bring 2 tuna sandwiches and 2 packs of BelVita blueberry snacks.

Plus a couple of bottles of water, plus 2 frozen bottles in my RTIC soft cooler.

I also have a good breakfast before I head out.

The cooler doesn't take up much space as you can see in the picture.

Many times I too eat on the way home.

My trips are almost always close to home and relatively short, 2-4 hours. Normally ill eat breakfast before going. Usually I take a 32oz  bottle of water, sometimes a bag of jerky. This year I may start carrying a tin of kipper snacks, I love those things.

I’m convinced that the best fishing food in terms of improving the catch is Pop-Tarts.  Matching the flavor to the time of year and weather conditions is critical.  Frosted Strawberry is probably the best general purpose flavor.  
 

Did I mention that they have 6 essential vitamins. 😊

I have coffee before I leave (if close) and/or on the way (if it’s a drive), and water on the boat. I never eat while fishing. It takes time away from fishing.

Then don’t try the Trader Joe’s brand. Pretty sure they are actually cardboard.
