Sustenance (food and drink) for fishing

[Linedropper]

Hi all,

Just wondering what you all use to keep going for a full day's fishing (12 hours).

I am not a coffee drinker so I keep going on water, Powerade for something sweeter than water, coke (in can), corn chips and cheese and gerkin sandwiches (a family tradition for fishing trips). If i'm not skipper then add a six pack of beer to that list.

Depends on swmbo if she is in the mood then it's nice sandwiches and snacks if she isn't then it's a bag of crisps and lollies from the servo. Heaps of water and some coke and very seldom beer

I will make some sangers, take some powerade, corn chips, boiled salted peanuts and some ginger beer and occassionally some muesli bars. But if I am with the old cheeses she makes it all and I get what she serves up, which are better quality sangers, some soft drink, sometimes some cornchips, some mueseli bars but notmuch else. I found the w00lies Select mueselie bars seem to be about the best value but have been trying a few others out. My normal crew hate it when I take the boiled salted peanuts but I don't seem to tbe the only one eating them.

I always take 2 cans of V black, Red Rock Deli Chips, Bottle of water and usually some chicken and mayo sangas.

Yeah pretty much Tim.......being the skipper I'm usually up hours earlier than everyone else getting things ready then the drive to the ramp, drive the boat all day, fish all day, drive home, clean boat blablabla I'm usually pretty buggered by middayish so that's when the V comes in to it's own, V...oh how I love you!!!!But as a consolation I usually drink a heap of water throughout the day as well.

Oh and NO......I don't do a full pack of smokes
despite what Phill and some others may say.

For me it's pretty much whatever the missus puts in the esky, I leave it up to her, I do the essentials, fishing gear, safety gear, water, fuel, check the bungs are in, check that everything works and drive the boat , and the rest is her department so I leave it to her, she makes sure we are provided for, rolls, salad, cold meats, soft drinks, sweets, sunblock ect.

Far be it for me to interfere in what she does, .... I'm not that brave!

[MudRiverDan]

Usually a pack of those fruit muesli bar things, the fancy coated ones, as the plain ones are bloody rough.
And a bottle of coke or one of those powerade drinks.

cheers

Jerky always keeps you going but you can't beat the butane cooker with a good steak or sausages cold beverages feel like going fishing now just thinking about it. Oh yer can't forget the smokes either

A 4pack of bundaberg ginger beer, a bottle of water and a packet of smokes - I get some strange looks trolling up the pine and cab river drinking my ginger beer at 7 in the morning lol
