What Do You Eat While Fishing? 2024


fishing user avatarGlenn reply : 

Curious what y'all snack on while on the water.  Here's what Keri and I do:

 

 


fishing user avatarww2farmer reply : 

I always have water to drink. On really hot days I take some Gatorade as well. During a tournament I keep some beef jerky and granola bars handy. A long day on the water fun fishing, I usually head back to the launch mid day or when the bite is slow and take a short break and eat a sandwich or something that's in my lunch pail in the truck, or I will dock at the little diner on the lake and go in and a hamburger or something. 10 years ago I could fish 10-12 hours straight with nothing more than a couple drinks of water throughout the day.............I can't do that anymore


fishing user avatarsmr913 reply : 

If I'm doing a float less than 3 hours I usually just pack some fluids. On longer trips its a PB&J and chips for a shore lunch. Snacks are generally a granola bar, nuts, or jerky. I take a gallon jug of ice water to stay hydrated. 


fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

Nice Job.

 

For a full day (or night) on the water, I always bring a sandwich or 2 of some kind.

And I too, am a big Cliff bar fan.  I will say that once the air temp start to drop, they get a little more challenging to chew; like frozen oatmeal.

Besides that, some cheese sticks, Jack Links, and plenty of H2O  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..

fishing user avatarThe Bassman reply : 

The go to food in early BASS days was Vienna Sausages.  Myself, I just eat big before I get there.  Creek wading doesn't allow for too much extra.  On hot days I'll carry water.  I've paid dearly for not doing that with leg cramps that night.


fishing user avatar.ghoti. reply : 

Nice tip about coconut water. I need to try that.

 

I take water, jerky, cubed havarti or gouda, grapes or cherries or strawberries, and granola bars. 

 

A small cooler, three bottles of cold water, two bottles of frozen water, and a little bit of the rest in a small ziplock bag.

my wife says I am a chipaholic!.and any thing else that don't bite back .oh well


fishing user avatarDrMarlboro92 reply : 

Sashimi. 

 

Most of the time jerky, and I always have about a gallon of water on the boat per person.  Every now and then the occasional sandwich graces my deck. 


fishing user avatarJar11591 reply : 

Pop tarts are my snack for when I'm on the boat. I usually have some Gatorade and always water. 


fishing user avatarwhitwolf reply : 

Usually a sandwich or two, plenty of water and occasionally some sort of sweets. I night fish in the Summer and usually eat a big meal before I go and carry water, a fiber bar or two and for some reason always have a bottle of Mello Yello. If the wife goes there are all kinds of homemade goodies.


fishing user avatarJunk Fisherman reply : 

Coffee, banana, sunflower seeds

 

If it is the summer, I will have a jug of water.  

 

I don't eat much on the water.  Just enough so my blood sugar doesn't crash.  


fishing user avatarScott F reply : 

The whole keeping hydrated thing by using sports drinks was made up by the companies that sell the drinks. Most contain huge amounts of sugar. You should carry water for when you get thirsty, but dehydration rarely happens. Check out this video from "Adam Ruins Everything"   I'm a Cliffs bars fan myself.

 

 


fishing user avatarcorn-on-the-rob reply : 

Regardless of what you eat on the boat, it tastes 10 times better!


fishing user avatargeo g reply : 

Always PB&J sandwich or Peanut butter and cheese crackers.  It tastes sooooooooo good out on the water!:good-news-175:


fishing user avatarRoweBoatRVA reply : 

Water, Jerky and Kombucha. Gotta keep it healthy.


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

Boudin & Gatorade ;)


fishing user avatarCTBassin860 reply : 

Cliff bars and water.Peanuts and jerky is good too.

My BPS bag has a built in cooler


fishing user avatarTurkey sandwich reply : 

Normally I'll have water, jerky, and Cliff bars with me.  If it's cold, I may have a thermos with hot tea or coffee.  I don't tend to Carry a whole lot of food unless I'm camping. 


fishing user avatarlo n slo reply : 

'loney meat sammich and high quality h2o, maybe an orange crush

 

edit: i used to be all about some beanie weenies and vienna's but that stuff = some serious heart burn these days :-/

fishing user avatarSpankey reply : 

Generally I have water, PowerAids, Lance crackers, Gold Fish (pizza), fruits. Most usually goes back home except for the drinks.


fishing user avatarMumbly reply : 

Water and crunchy peanut butter Cliff bars


fishing user avatarriverbasser reply : 

Peanut butter crackers, Vienna sausages and Gatorade. 

I'm normally off the water by around 3 and stop to get a chilli dog by the lake


fishing user avatarMike L reply : 

PB&J some fruit and ice water. 

I used to bring sandwiches, cookies or crackers of some sort, and always felt sluggish for hours after.

Not anymore.

Love kombucha. I drink 1 a day.


fishing user avatarColumbia Craw reply : 

I eat pretty simple.  Humas and pita chips, dried cranberries, smoked hazelnuts, dried passion fruit and a Slim Jim. I have been known to accidentally  put a donut in the boat. Water, Gatorade and if chilly, a thermos of Lady Earl Tea with honey and lemon.  I keep the china carefully packed in case the water is rough.  There's no need to fore go the comforts of home while fishing. I've heard of Cliff Bars but I don't plan on hanging on the outside of my boat with chalk on my hand.;)


fishing user avatarAlan Reed reply : 

I like to take Perky Jerky. I like the flavor and how tender it is. I have also been know to take cubed cheese and Chicken in a Bisket crackers. I also take a large water and a flavored water drink.


fishing user avatarBig_Easy_Bassin reply : 

I always start the day with a Full Throttle energy drink, and I usually keep a small cooler in the truck with a few bottles of water. I'm a big beef jerky guy. If it's not some that I've made myself in my dehydrator, it's Jack Links. Sunflower seeds have been making their way into my bag too, but that's because I'm trying to quit smoking. Gotta pack light when you're bank fishing ??


fishing user avatarOhitsmeagain reply : 

Whether I'm Bank fishing or on the boat I always have some water and on occasion some Mountain Dew. For Snacks I usually have either trail mix or granola bars.

BANANA??? Do you ever even catch fish?


fishing user avatarGundog reply : 

Water, crackers, occasionally some almonds or peanuts (unshelled) and a Reese peanut butter cup. 


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

I usually take 2 PB&J sandwiches and a big jug of water. The last several trips the sandwiches have been swapped out for venison summer sausage and snack sticks. 

Used to drink a Monster energy drink on the water but in my attempt to get healthier, I haven't had an energy drink in almost 3 months now. 

I need to figure out healthier options than my usual sandwiches too I suppose. 


fishing user avatarblckshirt98 reply : 

Shore guy so I can't really bring any perishables.  I always get a hot coffee at one of the 24 hour gas stations and they always halfway through brewing their 7 different pots fresh when I get there.  Sometimes I'll grab their 3 for $1 cookies.  From home I'll usually bring a Clif Bar or a pack of Belvitas from Costco, and beef jerky as well.  The Perky Jerky is good but my favorite is the Krave Black Cherry BBQ Pork.  If I plan on staying for a long time I'll usually pack a sandwich or two with mustard, and bury them in my backpack so they stay cool.  For fluids I always just bring a 32 oz water bottle that I fill with plain ol' tap water but if it's a really hot day I'll bring a cooler with extra water or coconut water and just leave it in the car to drink when I get back.

Man cannot live on turkey sandwiches alone. 

During the summer when it's hot and I may be on the water for 12+ hours in 90 degree plus heat, the one thing I'm religious about is keeping at least two Gatorade sipper bottles full of ice/water.  Having had sun poisoning, I DO NOT want to deal with it again.  


fishing user avatarethan-333 reply : 

fun fishing. i pack usually pbj sandwiches some deer sticks and some donuts.

tournament i usually just eat jerky or deer sticks when running down the lake

dont drink soda and dont really like gatorade so water everyday


fishing user avatarJagg reply : 

Huh?! Yeti cup of water or Gatorade. Maybe a spare bottle if I'm going on an extended float or gonna be on the water for 14+ hours in TX heat. Used to not bring anything no matter how long I was gonna be out, but I can't do that no mo'. Try not to eat if I'm still gonna be fishing. If I do, it always seems my gut makes me pay for it. Usually just eat fairly big before I get out on the water. When I have to eat, it usually depends on how far away civilization is from where I'm fishing. If it's close, just pack up the yak and get to Whataburger. If I'm in the sticks, I typically have MREs and/or P3s packed in the Jeep.


fishing user avatarfrosty reply : 

I pack a couple apples and water. Nothing better for a natural energy boost than an apple. If the wife goes with me I end up packing more, she gets grumpy when she gets hungry :blink:

I don't believe in any superstitions or anything like that and it's a pet peeve of mine.  The fish don't know what kind of fruit is in my boat.  My wife says I am no fun.

Me too . Now I have to keep theblood sugar level . I take a sub sandwich  and eat it  slowly through the day . A bite hear and there . A few Snickers bars are in the cooler if I feel I need sugar along with crackers and maybe a  hard boiled egg .

 

Im not a diabetic , yet , instead I have low blood sugar . Ive been drinking Glucerna in the morning . That stuff keeps my blood levels in good shape for a few hours . I'm thinking of adding a bottle of that to the cooler 


fishing user avatar"hamma" reply : 

 

 Last year things changed for me, so I just brought 3 waters, 1 gatorade, 2 peanut butter sandwiches, a bag of fritos and a granola bar or 3. In a small cooler bag

 Years ago I would cook up some marinated chicken wings, steak tips, and pork kabobs on the grill the night before, let them cool down stick them in a gallon sized ziplock bags and they would replace the sandwiches.

 And yeah,..they are still good cold. all fit in a med sized igloo cooler


fishing user avatarRichF reply : 

I bring apples and granola bars but usually won't eat until I'm in the truck heading home at the end of the day.  I always have water in the boat and do my best to keep hydrated.


fishing user avatarChance_Taker4 reply : 

Bananas lots of bananas. ?


fishing user avatarHawkeye21 reply : 

Almost always have some kind of jerky with me.  For a drink it might be a pop, sport drink, water or combination of that.  Depending on how long I'll be out I'll bring a ham or turkey sandwich.  Sometimes I'll have sunflower seeds too.

 

If I'm going out with a friend or two there's almost always a cooler of beer.


fishing user avatarblckshirt98 reply : 

On a side note, cold pizza is always a luxury and maybe the best fishing food there is.

 

Edit: And when I know it's going to be a hot day I'll force myself to drink a ton of water before leaving the house, even if I'm not thirsty.  It makes a huge difference later.


fishing user avatarNYWayfarer reply : 

I bring a Hydro Flask vacuum insulated bottle filled with ice water. For food I pack a sandwich or 2 and a Clif Nut Butter Bar.  


fishing user avatarBait Runner reply : 

I'll down some water on the hot days, that just feels mandatory for me. As far as snacks go, I grab water is going to be most filling without feeling a full blown meal. Usually that consists of some Special K bars or breakfast snack bars. Oh, and beef jerky.


fishing user avatarbigfruits reply : 

a sandwich or two from home and a banana if I have any. coffee and chips and/or cashews from gas station/7-11 on the way to the launch. water and sometimes beer.

Lead poisoning is much worse, especially if the lead comes for the barrel of a shotgun.

 

LOL, another hard water thread!  I eat granola bars.  Boringest man alive!


fishing user avatarkybassguy reply : 

usually.. slim jims , chips and water  for me........only if we could have beer on KY lakes!!!


fishing user avatarWTnPuddleJumper reply : 

cold fried chicken and hard boiled eggs!!!!!

 


fishing user avatargimruis reply : 

John Gillespie from Water & Woods has a grill attached to the gunnel of his boat and since he's sponsored by Johnsonville (made in Wisconsin, obviously), he's always eating and showcasing their products sometime during the show.

 

Generally I do not fish all day long so there's no need to pack a lunch.  If I'm heading out in the morning, I usually eat some sort of breakfast before hand or stop along the way.  If I'm fishing in the evening, I almost always bring BEER.


fishing user avatarcrypt reply : 

power bars,cliff bars,things like that,rice cakes, lot of water. maybe a monster in the morning.I hate coffee.


fishing user avatarclh121787 reply : 

Cashews. If anything.  Or pack a lunch. Find a shade tree. Or dock at a marina and grub down


fishing user avatarBillP reply : 

I take two bologna sandwiches and bottled water in a cooler

fishing user avatarBassguytom reply : 

I usually bring some fruit of some sort and water. I always remember to bring a sandwich in case of emergencies.  I bring the sandwich not so much to eat but rather put it in my hand because when the bite is slow as soon as you put a sandwich in your hand its fish on! 


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

My wife accompanies me on every fishing outing, and typically prepares the lunches.

The menu runs the gamut: sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, leftovers, hotdogs, bananas, fried chicken ~ ~

It matters not to me, I'm happy with anything. We place very little emphasis on food & eating,

and never break to eat, but munch while fishing. On a fishing vacation I'll typically drop 5 to 10 lbs.

 

Roger


fishing user avatarJaderose reply : 

A thermos of coffee, a bagel or two and two big bottles of water that I fill haf full and stick int freezer the night before then top off with water before heading out.  I can always tell when it's break time and I need to eat something.  I start getting impatient and casting erratically.  Time to take a break...have a bite....a bottle of water and a deep breath......along with a smoke!


fishing user avatarYakalong reply : 

In the morning coffee is a must, sunflower seeds always a necessity anytime of day. 


fishing user avatarblckshirt98 reply : 

I used to eat sunflower seeds but as a shore guy, I didn't feel good about spitting the shells onto the ground, even though it's biodegradable.  Thought it would encourage other people who fish there to leave their trash, that might not be biodegradable.


fishing user avatarMichiganBass80 reply : 

Water and Gatorade to drink. To eat we take sandwiches, chips, sometimes jerky, maybe a couple apples.  I drink more than anything but on long days like trips to St Clair a sandwich helps. We actually just got a new RTIC Softpak 20 cooler to take it all on the boat with us.


fishing user avatarCenCal fisher reply : 

I like to eat bannanas while fishing. I feel that I have better luck when I do


fishing user avatarRMax reply : 

It depends who I am with and how long I am on the water.  Usually an orange or two, water, and maybe an apple if its just for a little bit.  If its in the morning, then add a granola bar or two to that list.  If its all day, then a PB&J will help with lunch and maybe a rootbeer.  


fishing user avatarkilroy9988 reply : 

I eat these, just have to remember plates, oh well Tim Hortons cups and tackle boxes work to.

 

In reality I only BBQ on the boat a couple times a year while fishing for walleye. 13 hours a day jigging in the same spot you got time to cook. When fishing for smallies trips average around 6 hours so I just grab something on the way to the lake and just take a bunch of water, I toss a few boxes of granola bars in the boat in the spring and eat one every few outings.

fishing user avatarTurkey sandwich reply : 

I have now seen three people post "banana."  You know who you are.  I will not go fishing with any of you.


fishing user avatartander reply : 

If I going in the morning I try to get up in time to fix breakfast. I carry Cliff bars and peanut butter crackers. For lunch it is Vienna Sausages with BBQ sauce and crackers. My drinks is mostly water with sometimes a Mountain Dew. You can also used the MD to pour down a fish if it is bleeding. :D Seriously.


fishing user avatarsamwise2u reply : 

Water, left overs, water, Skoal, water, gum, water.

 

What's up with the bananas and fishing? I'm guessing old wives tale.


fishing user avatarPaul Roberts reply : 

A lot! I go through the 5 stages of dying everytime I fail to eat.


fishing user avatarmllrtm79 reply : 

snack crackers, Tastykakes (if you don't know, well... you just don't know), water, occasionally an energy drink or Gatorade, raw almonds... 

I used to consume 2-3 energy drinks per day as well as coffee in the mornings, but high blood pressure has cut me off of most of that. I generally don't drink much coffee on fishing mornings due to the access to facilities on the water.


fishing user avatarRB 77 reply : 

Eats - To start the day I always try and have a hot breakfast. Breakfast Burrito, scrambled eggs and bacon, Oatmeal, etc. Lunch is usually a sandwich, Turkey, Ham, Torpedo, PB & J.

 

Snacks - are usually some type of Nutrition Bar (I prefer Cliff bars), trail mix and/ or nuts and beef jerky.

 

Drinks - are usually (and in this order) Coffee (early morning) , Water (all day on and off), Gatorade/ Powerade (mid day) and Beer (post trip).

No one's said beer yet?  (I fish a private lake and stay on property, so no driving)  I really don't drink that much while out (too busy fishing) and usually supplement with some water, fritos honey bbq flavor twists, and a quest protein bar.  I've been known to pack an occasional banana or two, superstitions don't bother me.

I got a buddy who put back crown & coke all day while fishing with me once....needless to say, he didn't feel too good the next morning! 


fishing user avatarFishes in trees reply : 

I've found out that I need to eat from time to time while Im fishing.  Driving to fishing, I'll generally have coffee and a slice of Casey Breakfast Pizza.   Casey's is where I generally gas up.   While I'm there I will generally buy lunch, chicken salad on a croissant is my current favorite.  If they are out of those I'll stop at one of the Subway shops on the way and get a sub sandwich.

 

In my cooler I generally have a 6 pack, either a session IPA or Shiner Ruby Redbird and a dozen or so waters.  In a water proof box in the cooler I will have some Lance Crackers and some Belvita wafers.   I never know what I will be hungry for.  When I fill the cooler, I made sure that there will be enough room for the food to fit.  Be sure and carry zip lock bags so that your sandwiches stay cool buy not get wet.

 

The earlier comment about facilities is a pertinent one.  If the lake doesn't have a decent privy relatively close to the dock, I ain't going fishing there.

The healthier the better for me. If it's just around home I'll take my Kleen Kanteen of water, an apple, a small bag of almonds or Brazil nuts, maybe a banana, and jerky. It all depends on the day. In summer we always have awesome peaches from the local Farmers Market too!

Any longer trips and sandwiches are hard to beat. Maybe a thermos of coffee or tea in the cold.

Haha no worries, man! I'm not offended, it just means more Brazil nuts for me! Honestly, I never liked them until it was the only snack option when I was cabin sitting for a couple weeks. Guess it worked out alright for me haha

early AM fishing always starts with about 20 oz. of COFFEE (the nectar of life) but I eat Jerky, Chips, trail mix, salted almonds, Crackers with Peanut Butter, sandwiches, whatever my buddy has in his box and occasionally sardines to gross out the guy fishing with me! I like bottled sweet tea and water too!


fishing user avatarAl w. reply : 

I usually put a couple of frozen water bottles along with a few Diet Sun Drops in the cooler. I also fill up a big zip loc with granola bars, pb crackers, chips, oatmeal pies, basically whatever I can find in the cabinet.

Usually if I'm in my kayak I just bring snacks. Granola bars, nuts etc. If I plan to be out on a boat where I can bring a cooler I might bring a couple sandwiches. I try to avoid bringing drinks other than water when I'm in the kayak, for obvious reasons. Sometimes my water bottle has to take one for the team.

Aldis has turkey sticks that are excellent. They cannot keep them on the shelves here . There will be boxes of beef sticks  ,  mostly untouched and the turkey boxes will be empty .

Interesting....will check out Aldis....thanks

I have always been a beef jerky kind of guy, especially when it comes to fishing, it makes an excellent snack.


fishing user avatarOhio Archer reply : 

Pb&j's, ham & cheese, turkey & cheese.  Occasional pop tarts. Chips.  Gatorades.   

 


fishing user avatarJamo reply : 

Pop tarts and a bottle of water will usually do the trick


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

I take a break maybe 3 or 4 hours into fishing.  I usually have some kind of breakfast bar, and a whole lot of water.
