Fried Chicken...fry it, buy it or what ever....it's perfect on the boat. Cold, protein, carbs and fats to fill you up and keep you going. Maybe a Protein bar or two with Jerky and good to go. Nothing better that good cold fried chicken on the water!

Not applicable for many areas, but one of our favorite fall tricks is to order a pizza and have it delivered to the landing. It's fun trying to get them to actually do that, but sometimes you get lucky!

I understand the arguments against American Plan.....and......I go that way most of the time. If we don't, it's not much of a vacation for my wife. Plus, if we want to go early and miss breakfast, the Lodge will throw in a couple PB&Js for our breakfast, along with our meat sandwich for lunch. It's ready to pick up in the Lodge after 9 the night before. And if the fishing is good at 5-7pm, as it was last fall, just stay out.....they deliver the dinner to your cabin and you just have to warm it up in the microwave. You selected your meal the night before anyway. I know it would be less expensive otherwise. But it works our great for us. And the food is fabulous.

I still like the American Plan. It kills some of the best fishing time, but without it I'd probably put off eating until bedtime, put off bedtime until way too late, put off getting up until 10:00, and be wrecked by the third day.

Yep...that's exactly how we do it. Except we try (often unsuccessfully) to be up before 6:00am.

One of my favorite meals or breakfast was always on the last day of the trip.We would make a frittata I think you call it with all the leftovers.we would use a large oven proof pan put in leftover brats, bacon,steak,onions,cheese,peppers,potatoes pretty much anything that sounded good and was leftover.Fry everything in the pan a few minutes then whip and pour some eggs over the top and bake in the oven until it firms up and slice it like a pie.It was great with toast and some hot sauce and an easy way to get rid of almost all the leftovers from the trip.

I built a kitchen in my boat. The pots and pans on my hanging rack clang around when it is wavy, I sometimes have to pick them all up after a boat run still working on that. The spice rack stays put though and I had a chefs hat made special with a visor.

Makes all the meals ahead of time and freeze them if you can. Take dinner out of the freezer in the morning and it should be thawed by the time you get back in the evening. Either microwave or bake depending on cooking options available to you. We've done this for our deer hunting & fishing trips for as long as I can remember. Always works out great. You always get a good meal at the end of the day and very little prep and clean up work. For Lunch its always sandwiches and breakfast depends on what you need. Some of us get by on very small breakfasts and some need a full eggs toast and sausage meal. I prefer a small breakfast and bring a couple extra sandwiches during the day.

The crockpot is your friend. Dump the stuff in set on low or High and its ready to go when you get back. Geez the new ones switch to warm when the time is up. Soup roasts, chickens, you name it.

We've done this with great success, and also epic failures.
We call it Whatchagot Stew.
It's amazing how something as simple as applesauce or baked beans can ruin the entire thing, or make it amazingly delicious.

I remember that time I was needing some olive oil and Penzey's spices for that pot roast I was making, and was able to flag you down.
You have an awesome setup. The Keurig coffee maker really tips it in...

The hot new urban thing is food trucks. ToddM, sounds like you have a food boat. I see a reality show in your future.

I'd rather be fishing 5-7AM and take a 2 hour break in the late afternoon for a quick rest and diner then back out. Same hours on the water but those AM hours better in my experience than late afternoon. Plus the recharge gets me all pumped up again for the Eve bite. Maybe your too old to get up early

crockpot meals work great. Turn it on low, go fishing, come back to a hot meal.
Smoked chicken is hard to beat. Throw it in the oven to reheat and done.


This guy will be good to go with 1lb bologna and 1lb jerky for 6 days any thing else cost too much

We used to live on beer and beef jerky all week. Then when I was pushing 40 I got to the point where I was half dead by Wednesday. Had a few trips where I nodded off behind the wheel on the way home, almost whacked a deer, found myself on the wrong wide of the road one morning at 2:30 am with no idea how I got there...

We still pound the water hard for a good 10 hours a day, but 3 solid meals and 8 hours sleep does wonders for your ability to actually stick a fish when the opportunity presents itself instead of being a zombie out there. The young guys can get away with pee poor nutrition and 5 hours sleep for a week.

If I had my choice, I'd rather be 20 years younger. But "smart fishing" puts an equal number of fish in the boat compared to going all in beating the water to a froth for 14 hours for 6 days straight. And on day 7 when we're loading up our gear and the young kids look like death warmed over, I'm ready for another week instead of falling asleep in the truck on the way home.

as far as not fishing the 5a to 7am stretch and sleeping a bit longer to stay out...some days I'm sure we miss a good bite in that window and I'm sure some days when our boat is out on the water and others are taking a break we put a few in the boat...never know when the window is going to be each day / week but the number of fish we put in the boat I'd put up against anyone else the same week we are on the water

and we do take breaks on the water to recharge, fish walleyes and pike here and there when muskies aren't moving... even a nap once in a while in the boat...
