I know it sounds kinda wierd and will probably create a picture of the kind of person you may be. This could actually be fun, ssssooooo..... What kind of food do you grub on while in a tourney or just fun fishing? Do you store any snacks / food in the boat, if so what? Myself, I store dry fruit and maybe some Jerky, a box of Cheezits or Wheat thins and some kind of candy. DB dishes me what he calls "Scooby Snacks".....dried Mango slices when I'm catching fish! Me again, I will say that the absolute #1 fast-food leftover and cold in the cooler is a Del Taco chicken soft taco with no lettuce and I guaranty you will agree, swing through a 24hr store on the way to the pond.....eat a couple and throw a few in the cooler, I swear, you'll see . A couple waters and some sugar free Red Bulls. I know some don't eat and maybe just drink because there is no time ( and maybe waiting for a good post tourney bbq ). I know it's important, but with the recent buzzkill thread(s) I thought I would get something different going. We ALL do this in the boat....so let's share your preference. No need to get too descriptive either cause for some reason I just thought about Pete and Guy talking about hippie in some kind of banana hammock no really what do ya like?

Let see now, Jerky ,trailmix by the hand full ,Usually a couple Subway's ,and a box of cheezits .Wash it down with water ,cokes ,and a six pak of Low-Carb Monster...whew...Amazing I dont weigh 500 lbs Huh ...Charlie

I go with water, a 16oz pepsi, and a sandwich. I am big on eating before I put in. I think a good breakfast before a T sets me up for the day. CJ got me started on the carrot cake Clif Bar and I am here to tell you, one of those around 9 and one at noon and I am ready to go. But there are the usual junk foods sometimes, but a bag of jalapeno cheetos at 2 is sometimes just what the doctor ordered

I bring at least 2 Bananas, Greek Olives, Artichoke hearts and some sort of salad thats made up of a slice of Mozzoarella on top of a Tomato slice and basil with a dash of Olive oil and Balamic Vinegar, good stuff. I wash this down with Uzo

Gallions poorboys, Gatorade, vitamin water, chicken karaage and riceballs

Damn Lance, you left off the myzithra cheese and the chianti. No wonder you bought a Ranger, there is no way you could justify eating that spread off the deck of a Nitro

I starve myself so when I get that 150 dollar hot dog I feel like I'm getting my moneys worth!!!
Guy Williams

Really, I don't eat a thing before and during. Just drinks and a lot of dinner before and after.

2 poorboy sandwiches, 1 gatorade, a muffin, coffee, 2 bottles of water.

No soda, no junk food!

Oh I forgot one thing, 2 cans of Chocolate Slimfast

I was told by several anglers that bananas are bad luck.

Damn, that sounds pretty good! Are you for real?

Bad luck? Naaaaaa, you just have to set them out in the sun for an hour or so, that gets rid of the "badness", then your good to go.

I think the banana thing goes both ways. I was in Hawaii and the guys over there said bananas were good luck
Depends on your timezone

One other thing...coffee in the morning to get things moving south

I enjoy grubbin those pork skins (x-tra zesty)

Wash it down with Strawberry Crush.. The burps are amazing

OK, here's what will stick in your stomach for about three days:

O'Dell Burgers

slice of Wonder Bread
mustard
sliced sweet pickle
slice of American cheese
Miracle Whip
slice of bologna
mustard
slice of American Cheese
sliced sweet pickle
slice of bologna
Miracle Whip
slice of Wonder Bread

4,000 calories
800 grams of trans fat
one pound of cholesterol

One huge knot in your stomach, no hunger whatsoever. Better when made fresh on the water. Garnish with Nacho cheese Doritos. Wash down with 20 oz. Coke.

I swear I've eaten these things and have lived to tell about it.


Terry

Coffee in the morning, Then around 11 I will have a protien bar and a LIFTOFF in my water. I'm good to go until after the T then Its chow time.

Granola bars and rottiserie chicken here...

Quite the menu Ive noticed . Funny..I actually eat pretty strict away from weekends . From my mx/gym rat days . Now -weekends..Its pretty much open season . I did once make a phone order for Pizza @ a nite event . When the guy on the phone new I was serious about delivery to the launch ramp-It was a no go!

...cold fried chicken and iced tea....

man it all sound good to me..you guys sure eat well

fun fishing...Pita sandwich..deli meat, tomatoes, lettuce, I like em plain..maybe a bit of mustard...ding dongs , fruit, sorry no bananas...coke, water, Gatorade, amp, and if I can a peanut butter and jam sandwich

Tournaments...1 water, one Gatorade, a snicker bar and a fruit bar
coffee before I leave the house

and if koda is around..one of his wife's cookies...dam they are good good

Bacon and eggs, hash browns and toast breakfast before, then coffee, water, and red bull.

Dude doesnt eat anything in the morning or during the day. He cracks me up because I'm so different.
On tournament day I always have an orange juice for breakfast with some kind of breakfast sandwich to start me off. Then I'll snack on a candy bar or hot tamlales candy in between spots. I will also have a couple mountain dews in the boat and usually a Monster energy drink (Mean Bean or Loca Moca) in case I need a pick me up.
I think it is extremely important to fuel your body in the morning then go from there. Guy is a freak...dude never eats.

I used to rock the Slim Fast in the morning then again around noon and that would do me just fine for the day...but Ive changed that a bit.

Pete

Smuckers Crustables...PB & J, or PB and Honey. You buy them frozen and by the time they thaw out they are perfect. Unwrap em, and 4 bites later your done. Perfect while moving to the next spot. Bag of Chip, protien bar, and some Gatorade or water.
Stay away from the Pepper plant sauce the night before!

Mussells in white wine sauce.

10am (and also to keep my stomach lining intact) I stay away from Red Bull, but a lift off and protein bar early in the morning before I head to the lake usually works well. Another couple of bars during the day, along with a couple of multi vitamins and total control (appetite control) vitamins during the day, and some gatorade, and I am good for the day. I think it is really important to keep nutrition intact when you are out on the water in order to keep alert and healthy (just ask DL about how I used to fall asleep in the back of his boat all the time)!! Also, in case you guys have not seen it, this is a pretty cool article about proper nutrition out on the water, and check out how many calories some of these guys burn off during a tournament day...

I just take look at whatever Rini is eating and then I do the EXACT opposite.....................That way at leaset one person can fish.

Those Tyson chicken strips, in the lunch meat section. A bag of Southwestern and a couple snickerbars and I am good to go...

Terry thanks for the info on bass fan artical nice read. It is important that we take care of ourselfs whether on or off the water.

OK Gerry Jig I will play

Ugh a coffee on the way down, a monster when I get there:shock: , some protien bars for breakfast, waters through out the day. Lunch, trail mix, protien bars, jerky and whatever my non boater dishes out... tehn another monster around 2 to kick me in da ***. A yellow pizzy drink at the weigh in and off I go.

Oh yeah and probably a pack of Marlboros in between snacks!

If I'm stopping at Gallions
Coffee, Ham Sandwich from gallions, Red Bull, Gatorade and water.

If no Gallions stop
Coffee, PB&J, Red Bull, Gatorade and water.

Smuckers is #1 in my boat, bags of nuts, dried fruit and water. Dr pepper tooo. if i really get hungry i reach for an upton 12" worm with smelly jelly

Puts his nuts in a bag for you....how special!!!

Pete

Where are the donuts!!!

Most of the time it's CROW.

Starbucks coffee,Endermans Cheese Danish for breakfast, followed up by some Goobers Grape PJ for lunch, Snack on some Hot Pork rinds followed up by a No Fear Energy drink.
Go to weight in and eat some free dogs and chillie and go crop dust the winners!

Donuts and miller lite for breakfast. Salami and cheese with miller lite for lunch.

Rockstar for breakfast then im on a strave out until weigh in.. i dont even realize it when im on the water.. its normally after weigh in im like damn im hungry... the secret weapon lately is if the fishing is slow bust out a bag of CHESTER FRIES... rub the flaming hot cheetoh all over your bait of choice and game on.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BANANAS ON BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!PERIOD.

That is my feeling EXACTLY!

MONEY COOKIES

Daren and Steve, dont let the Bananas spook you guys, they are your friend, be the Banana

I always pack the cooler. (3-4) bottles of water, (3) gatorades, snickers bars, granola bars, trail mix, chips, cookies, and a couple PB&J. While on the fishing the T I forget to eat and may have a couple of bottles of water. By weigh-in I am usually starved and dehydrated.

Ringer wrote:Donuts and miller lite for breakfast. Salami and cheese with miller lite for lunch.

I figured you liked eating Slami!

PB&J. Usually two sammiches and then lots of water and power/energy bars around 10-11AM when breakfast decides to wear off. Keep it simple

No time to eat... Must cull.

I keep mine rather simple.

2 hard boiled eggs in the morning washed down with a Monster Lo carb (Gotta keep the figure in check) and an energy bar.

Lunch is usually a sandwich or various meats and cheese, celery sticks w/ pb and raisins and trail mix. I always bring extra energy bars in case I get hungry again and more water.

Also an Immodium AD the nite before to nip the #2 in the bud during tourneys.

I buy a $5.00 Little Cecear (might be spelled wrong) Pizza, cut it up into smaller pieces and put it in a big ziplock bag.

Gary

but I eat Mc Spins for breakfast.
