It’s been a long day. You have been fishing for 6+ hours in the hot hot weather chasing, halibut, Salmon, Rock fish and god knows what is chasing your from underneath. Then the moment comes, sometime during midday, when the fish have stopped biting.

Your buddy calls you through the VHF radio and says… “Man, you know what sounds good right now?” → Insert Favorite food here. I usually get a chuckle, when this particular fishing buddy says this to me. I know he’s checked out and ready for a nice cold beer and some munchies. I won’t lie, at this point, I’m pretty much checked out too.

There are fishing foods, and then there are these Five mind-blowing kayak fishing foods, that I have discovered over the years. At this point, this article has become an opinion piece; so take it with a grain a salt.   Whatever the reason, these items always seem to hit the right spot after a long day on the water or out on the water.

#1 Watermelon
I’m going straight for the juggler folks. The kill shot, the money shot, the foods of all kayak-fishing foods!! Love me, hate me, here it comes!

WATERMELON

=
Yup, there it is folks → Watermelon.

I will pre-cut watermelon and leave it in my ice cold cooler Yeti 20 or a RTIC.  After getting off the water, I share this sweet snack with my buddies. It’s always a crowd favorite.

#2 Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
I will admit that I’m a little bias towards this one, mainly because of a particular incident with an unnamed fishing buddy(Antonio you know who).  I was basically dead on the water, from trolling countless hours for salmon. The wind picked up big time and I had less than 10% energy reserves to make it back.

My buddy offered me half of his PB&J sandwich that practically saved my life! LOL.
Either way, this sandwich has held a particular place in this chov’s heart and stomach from that point forward. Yumms!

#3 Vietnamese Sandwiches
Since a kid, I’ve always been drawn to these sandwiches. Disclaimer I’m a Vietnamese and if my family didn’t escape during the war, I’m sure that I would have been anchovy fish sauce by now. → But I digress.

I think over the years my affinity to these sandwiches has grown as fast as my addiction to kayak fishing.  However, with the skyrocketing price of Viet Sandwiches in the Bay Area, I find making my own to be more economical.



My personal preference:
Grilled Pork or Combination Sandwiches!

NOTE: I will be making a limited amount of TLA grilled pork sandwiches over the course of the halibut season. Freshly grilled and made after a long day OTW.  Put in your orders today! =P

#4 Sour Patch Gummy Bears
Ok, at this point, I’m just reaching for material, but I found that these little treats OTW make a great snack and replenishes energy, or maybe it’s one of the staple snacks crazyFisher always brings with him. Either way, it hits the spot when I need an immediate burst of energy.

#5 Ice cream sandwiches
I think you guys are getting the clue. Hot weather → Exhaustion→ cold splurge foods.  I really like these treats after a long day on the water.  I think my personal preference for ice cream sandwiches are it’s It or Klondikes

Conclusion
Ok that is basically all I got.  I’m constantly on the search for new and amazing kayak fishing foods. Let me know if you have accidentally discovered something and share with the community. Good luck and tight lines –TLA

Man how could I have missed this article. Thanks for the great read 

PBJ sammy and any kind of sour candy is my usual lunch on my yak and some dry roasted macadamia nut for a snack.

I will take three next time I see you!

My favorite place in downtown Oakland (Cam Hung Deli) closed down after at least 20 years in the same location, now the pickings are slim or you pay the big bucks!

That's the way to do it!   Great piece!

thanks

It's not easy finding a good vietnamese sandwich now a days. TLA home made sandwich is the best.

Nice! I'll second the watermelon...

I spent 2 months camping and kayak fishing nearly every day this past winter...Sort'a "kayak" fishing: Got a motor on it to increase range...Lower FL Keys...It's why I'm on this site - I've either asked questions or I've searched the site for answers. Ya'all have been a huge help. I think this is the best kayak fishing site out there - and I'm jealous on how well everyone seems to get along. My fishing "home site" has degenerated over the past few years to where...well...

Anyway...Ceviche with Tostitos "scoops". It's cold. It keeps for days  and actually gets better with age to a certain extent...It's filling and easy to eat and kind'a refreshing and has as much bite as...oops. THIS jalapeno is hotter than the LAST batch. Still good though...and by adding 3 different color sweet peppers it actually looks like I know what I'm doing with food prep...

I almost always had a gallon Ziploc of it in the cooler. Mostly mangrove snapper ceviche but yellowtail snapper,spanish mackeral,grunts and porgies,and fresh-caught shrimp all made appearances.

ESTO!!!!!!!!

Hard boiled eggs are one of my favorite hunting pack foods, right before teriyaki beef jerky and meat sticks! 

Keith makes delicious food. Not only did he out-fish everyone at the halibut seminar last year, but he provided a catered banquet.

Dang...I want a TLA Bahn Mi sandwich.

Ok guys, I'll set up a hook and make some tla banh mi sandwhiches. I'll let you guys know when, since it usually takes me a few days to get everything prepared.

Ill reserve you three Michael.
