Water, and Trail Mix is what you'll most likely find in my cooler. Maybe a diet Pepsi. On long days, perhaps a sammich. I usually save the beer for after I'm off the water.

Water. On ice, if it's hot out. I start at the crack of 10 AM after eating breakfast anyway.

  • water, water, and more water (got to stay hydrated!)
  • 2 energy drinks of some sort (Red Bull, 180, Sobe) sometimes Starbucks Double Shot
  • Gatorade on occasion to supplement the water
  • Pop Tarts
  • Granola Bars
  • Candy Bars
  • Fruit Snacks - gotta keep the scurvy away
  • Fruit - usually apples and bananas
  • nuts - peanuts, cashews, or mixed
  • carrots (on occasion)
  • everything to make sandwiches (lunch meat, cheese, bread)
  • sardines in season (usually only eat in the spring/fall)
  • chips

 I'm sure I left out a few odds and ends.  Almost all of those are in the boat all the time.  Now some may know the reason why I don't eat at Bars/Restaurants and really can't suggest any because I don't leave the water once I am on it!

 

Gotta keep the furnace burning as there is nothing worse than bonking during prime time, or worse during the drive home.  I eat almost everytime I am moving spots.

One thing I tried a while back that was amazing:

1. Got up at 7:00am instead of 3:00am (2.5 hour drive to the lake)
2. Bacon, eggs, sausage, toast and hash browns for breakfast
3. Fished 10:00 to 11:30pm
4. drank a gallon of water that day (It was HOT!)
5. No beers at the launch afterwards

Funny thing, I was able to fish hard all day, I wasn't falling asleep driving home, and even though I didn't get home until almost 3:00 I wasn't wrecked all day the next day.

Food, water, and sleep are amazing things!!

Here's my routine
The coffee pot starts around sunup
I grab some hot black coffee and head down to the boat
If there is no fog I run up river
Fish the milk run and drink coffee
Switch to ice water if it's getting hot
Mid to late morning I make my way back to the cabin to see if the wife and kids are awake yet. If I'm by myself or with a fishing buddy we keep fishing.
Hit the milk run spots on the lake
Lunch is usually ham sammiches in the boat, a stop by the cabin or a stop on the water for a burger
Ice water
Ice water
Ice water
Peanuts/cashews/cheese curds
Ice water
Leinies
Jack Links jerky
Fish as much as possible.
Eat again late afternoon when it's still hot and maybe another Leinies or two
Get back on the water until after sundown
Back to the cabin
Hot showers, Leinies and get the coffee pot ready to do the same thing tomorrow..............
Man, I can't wait until I retire.................................

I always bring a lot of water, aquafina for sure.
but, what keeps me on my toes and keen is red-bull.
Marlboro reds are my flavor.
I 2nd the Gentleman Jack (thanks Jo) only for catches though
If I bring beer, usually its coors light, (keeps you hydrated and buzzed)
for food I usually just pack some sandwiches, or those fleet farm orange slices,
those things will keep you going all day, not to mention sugar buzzed.
I don't think I really ever have a problem being tired on the water, the hype of ski's does it for me, just keeping mental focus is the biggest factor.
If Im on a lake with some nice cabbage, I'll smoke a little bit of that too, that usually brings them in.

We start the morning early with coffee and donuts. Then when the sun starts to get warm, usually around 7:30, we have a breakfast beer(Leinie's Summer Shandy has fruit juice in it, therefore it is a breakfast beer!) Then we switch to a variety of micro beers and hearty ham, salami, and roast beef sammiches and venison sticks.

water and 'diet cokes'

S.

(actually what probably really keeps me alive is fishing w/ my kids - it means that the trips are rarely over 3 hours long and hardly a 'survival' situation; in terms of food and drink anyway )
