Going to take the boys (son and nephew) Friday for a little bit. They love being out on the boat and catching fish, but....they eat about 27 pounds of snacks per hour while on the water!! Anyone else experience this? I have to pack a dry storage console with food for them [emoji23]

That's funny. They don't grow out if it either. Mine is 15 and he'll catch the first fish then eat everything in the boat and go to sleep.

They can’t eat what isn’t there. When I first started guiding I would pack my Engle cooler with sodas and sports drinks along with bottled water. I found out real quick a 12 year old boy can drink $50 worth in a trip if allowed. It’s bottled water now or bring your own.

Yep. Last year my girls were 3 & 4 and I started taking them. I take a bag full of junk food on the boat for them. Lots of little debbies, "fruit" snacks, and chips; with healthiest things being nuts and granola bars. I also stop at the gas station or marina, and let them pick out one candy. If we stay out all day, I get them ice cream in the afternoon. This is all with the understanding that they behave and eat lunch, and is 99% successful.

Kids are eating machines. Cannot much blame them I never go out on the boat without taken some sort of food. Some of the lakes fish are very remote. If you break down might be out there all night.

In this heat don't forget a drink or two that has electrolytes 8n it. Water alone can leave you feeling I'll at the end of a long hot day. The better half and I spent all day at Rough on Tuesday and it was HOT HOT HOT. In addition to water she packed a few drinks from the fitness center where she works, which contained electrolytes. Could be coincidence but I did not feel nearly as drained as usual after a long day.Quote:

Feed em. Heck bum money to feed em. Lol. There will come the day when we physically can’t fish anymore and the frig is full of food and we will wish someone had time to stop by and eat with us. Sounds like you have and will continue to make memories that you will enjoy. You are doing great buddy.
Hey, is that a honey bun I see there? :biggrin
Think what it is like to feed my grandson - 13 years old - 6'2" - size 13 shoe - 195 pounds! This picture is his first day of 8th grade! He got pulled out of gym class by the football coach, imagine that.

Glad my kids aren't the only bottomless pits on the water! Hope we have some luck tomorrow. Wish me patience my friends!

Get sunflower seeds, it keeps their mouth busy and it's a snack that will occupy them for awhile. Make sure to have some drinks though, they are kinda salty.

Yup. They were tearing it up! In their defense, we set a few jugs this morning and only caught 5 decent cats. The few minutes we put out long lines were unproductive and the boys were ready to roll. They did enjoy driving the boat [emoji846]

Great picture. That’s a couple of great looking co-pilots.
I like lunchables to.

My boys can eat but they’d rather just fish while we’re out on the lake. I take them to a restaurant when we’re done. That’s when they do their damage on the food. I do take snacks and drinks on the boat with us tho.
I don't see how you have enough money to even own a boat with 3 growing boys. They will eat you out of house and home. Good jobQuote:

Now that's funny! rotflI remember the first few times I started fishing with a friend not mentioning any names (Hollywood) he would say are we going to catch or have a picnic! Now when I go with him pretty early in he will ask "what did you bring US to eat! lol :popcorn
Thanks for that info, Ray Ray .... now I'll know to bring plenty of groceries whenever I go fish with our buddy, Hollywood. :RoflQuote:

I'm sure if there were any, I'd have scarfed them up in the first few hours of the day, anyway. :biggrin
and you probably didn't carry a gallon of water so you could stay hydrated either. Now days you hardly see anyone without one.Quote:

And as for the remark about being able to afford my boat. I’m retired after thirty seven years in the pipe mill. The boats been paid for since 2008.
this reply is a testament of the goodness that runs deep in your family. thanks for sharing your blessings with us. pass on to her my well wishes, my respect, and prayers for her to have continual strength and wisdom in the loving choice she made.Quote:
