10 Tackle Box Snack Ideas to Keep You on the Water
Are you an angler looking for a boatload of snacks to keep your energy levels high during long fishing trips? Luckily, there are plenty of snacks that are perfect for a day on the water! Here are 10 tackle box snack ideas that will keep you going on your next fishing trip.
1. Protein Bars – Protein bars have become a staple in many tackle boxes because they provide a nutritious snack that helps keep your energy up. Look for protein bars with low sugar content and high protein content to keep you fueled during your fishing expedition.
2. Trail Mix – This classic snack never goes out of style! Trail mix is packed with healthy nuts and seeds, plus dried fruit for a sweet treat. It’s easy to make your own trail mix or buy pre-made packages from the store.
3. Jerky – Jerky is a great option for anglers looking for something savory to munch on while out on the water. Look for beef or turkey jerky made with simple ingredients so you know exactly what you’re eating!
4. Crackers & Cheese – Who doesn’t love crackers and cheese? A small container of crackers with some string cheese makes an excellent snack on the go–it gives you energy from carbs and protein from the cheese that will help power you through your next fishing adventure! The SKB 7300 Large Tak-Pac Backpack Fishing Tackle System has an insulated removable cooler for keeping cheese or any other perishables fresh.
5. Fruits & Vegetables – Fruits and vegetables are always a good choice when it comes to keeping your energy levels up while on the water. Apples, oranges, carrots, celery sticks–all these make great snacks that are easy to pack in your tackle box!
6. Granola – Granola is another classic tackle box snack idea that offers sustainable energy throughout the day. Look for granolas made with oats, nuts, and dried fruits for maximum nutrition!
7. Popcorn – Popcorn is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates that will give you sustained energy throughout your fishing trip! Plus it’s light enough not to weigh down your tackle box too much!
8. Energy Drinks – If you need a quick boost of energy while fishing, then look no further than an energy drink like Red Bull or Monster Energy drinks–they come in small cans so they don’t take up much space in your tackle box either! Just make sure not to drink too many as they can lead to an eventual crash later on in the day…
9. Peanut Butter & Crackers/Pretzels/Apples/Bananas– Peanut butter is always great on its own but even better when paired with crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or bananas - all of which can be easily packed away in your tackle box before heading out!
10. Chocolate Chip Energy Balls (or other energy balls) – Energy balls are usually made with nut butter, oats, honey/maple syrup, dark chocolate chips (or cacao nibs), chia seeds & flaxseeds - they make an excellent post-fishing treat because they provide quick energy in small doses!
To keep your snacks and drinks cold for a day out on the lake fishing, look no further than the Pelican 14QT Personal Cooler & Dry Box. Pack the cold zone at the bottom of the cooler with a 6-pack of cans and two 1lb Pelican Ice packs. Above that pack sandwiches and snacks that you want to keep cold but out of the ice. A snap-in organizer on the inside of the lid is a great place to store cutlery or small snacks. The top of the lid is the dry box storage, which is perfect for your keys and phone.
