Super User Darth-Baiter Posted 12 hours ago Super User Posted 12 hours ago 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 6 Quote
Super User GreenPig Posted 12 hours ago Super User Posted 12 hours ago Protein shakes, crackers, and plenty of water while on the water. I eat breakfast before the trip and immediately eat when I get home. 2 Quote
AJ Hauser Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Good idea! I'm old school so when I catch a dink, I eat it like a sardine. 5 Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted 12 hours ago Super User Posted 12 hours ago 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 3 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted 12 hours ago Super User Posted 12 hours ago 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. 2 Quote
nso123 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago 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. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted 12 hours ago Super User Posted 12 hours ago 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. Quote
Super User Bird Posted 12 hours ago Super User Posted 12 hours ago Same routine every time. Banana, trail mix, protein bar and 48oz of water. I eat breakfast before every outing as well. 3 Quote

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!!" Quote
Super User Swamp Girl Posted 11 hours ago Super User Posted 11 hours ago 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. 2 Quote
padlin Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Same thing every time, coffee, water, and a couple fig boys. Sometimes a Clif bar on the way home. Quote
MonsterZero Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago 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. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted 10 hours ago Super User Posted 10 hours ago I'll take Summer sausage , cheese and crackers a lot. Other times a sandwhich of some sort. 1 Quote
looking45 Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Most of the time I don’t know what I’m going to eat until lunch time. My non boaters always bring lunch. It’s always good 1 Quote
PourMyOwn Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago I eat once a day, so all I bring is a cup of coffee and an electrolyte drink. Quote
Sp33dSnake Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Crackers, gatorade or water, sometimes soft mints to assuage my sweet tooth. I go light. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted 9 hours ago Super User Posted 9 hours ago 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. A-Jay 2 2 Quote

Dropping a duce eh, 🤣😂🤣 but you’re right, can’t talk about eating without a discussion about dropping a duce or two 😂 1 Quote
Super User gim Posted 8 hours ago Super User Posted 8 hours ago 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. Quote
herder Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago 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. Quote
Super User DitchPanda Posted 8 hours ago Super User Posted 8 hours ago 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. Quote
Super User Tennessee Boy Posted 8 hours ago Super User Posted 8 hours ago 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. 😊 2 3 Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted 7 hours ago Super User Posted 7 hours ago 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. Quote
