What's your fishing snack/food?

[cheaterparts]

I thought you were pretty good a sniffing out a few oysters while on the water

I have few oyster patches around my happy hunting grounds and have chowed down on these lovelies before. I tend to take them home more these days than eat them on the water

Hard to beat a feed of Westernport oysters

A Glass BBQ on the boat keeps the energy up for a weeks fishing.

Depends on if the sesh is more or less than 8 hours.

Every session begins with a maccas breakfast and a large strong coffee. Ideally 45 mins before launch so the bodies movements get happening at the ramp.

Dry bag in the boat has a an emergency bag of snakes, a heap of nutty muesli bars and a couple tins of tuna and beans which eat alright cold.

Short sessions. Generally munch on a bag of chips and a can of coke.

Longer sessions. These days found the easiest solution is the woolies chook on bread rolls with salad, cheese and Mayo.

Used to pack snags and other stuff to cook up on the boat. But it's all too much effort these days.

The other change I've recently made is changing from buying ice to running frozen water bottles. 30x600ml square bottles are $7 or so from Costco. Cheaper than buying 3 bags of ice and reusable plus you have an emergency water source too if needed.

I own a few thermos's and there's been heaps of attempts to become a thermos guy but I always forget them. I'm just too lazy to get up 15 mins earlier to make the coffee

Do the ice blocks hold well ducky?
I had some lying around from an esky, they didn't seem to last long in a really thin zipperless esky. Might be ok in the fishbag perhaps..

As for the food.
Used to take chocolates, vee drinks and biscuits..

Nowdays its grapes, apples and still some chocolates. Water and some gatorade etc if the trips are long.
I usually never end up eating much, unless it's a really slow day..


Always a trip to KFC after though, it's almost a ritual now!

600ml water bottles. Not ice blocks. But yeah they work a treat. Plus you don't get everything waterlogged I just throw 20 or so in the kill bag.

Ah yeah i meant frozen water bottles when I mentioned ice blocks, my bad.
Ill give it another go in the insulated fish bag now rather than the zipperless esky I had before...

Vacuum sealing food has changed the way I camp.
Cook at leisure during the week.
Make curry, pasta sauce, american bbq wtv
Dinner, is just reheating portions in pots of water and then making a fresh carb source

Been a massive game changer.
Quite elaborate meals at the end of the night , with nothing but a 1-2 pots to rinse out and a small stove to reheat and eat.

Gets me on more trips too, feeding people

Use the water from the bay. Salt water is slower to thaw than fresh

Snack/food whilst fishing? Anything under 6 hours is nothing but water. Anything over is water and a couple of muesli bars or Vegemite sangas.
