What is a tri-tip? Beef, pork, chicken, some kind-o-meat? I've gone away from the bread and gone to tortillas. It almost eliminates the sog factor. Can't beat a cold smoked sausage in a tortilla, or some sliced brisket. One of our usual stops on the way to Fayette County Lake is to hit the sausage kolaches (pigs in a blanket). Crackers,,,,i go with the goldfish in the individual packages. Drinks,,,,lots of water, early morning i like the Ocean Spray fruit drinks in the small bottles (pretty tart) The drive home is time to hit the What-A-Burger.

I don't eat too much when I'm on the water. ;(
But I do snack. I like rice crispy treats. Keep em in the cooler. As for bars, I've switched to the Snicker's Marathon Bars. Healthy and filling :7
I am a gatorade guy, but only when it's cold. I drink a lot of propel when it's hot out. Unlike water, propel still has some appeal to it if you don't finish it before it gets warm.
But my all time favorite is gummy worms :9 These also are best left in the cooler, so when you take em out they don't melt. The neat thing about the gummy worms is that they're not filling, yet you fill satisfied. They also seem to quinch your thirst in some weird way. And it's not just me. I know about 10 guys that take gummies with them every trip now after me giving them a handful on a hot day.
My fishing meals are definately not formed around nutrition, but I can eat healthy when I get home :+

Just like when dressing for uncertain weather, or tackle at hand, the key to a satisfying on-water meal is selection and anticipation.
I had a really nice "fisherman's box lunch" in cabo last year. Partly why it was so good was because it had different elements. The sandwich wasn't that great, nor were the chips or fruit or dessert, and the soda and beer were just soda and beer. But i thought it was clever to offer a diversity of items to insure a better chance that something would be palatable.
That doesn't mean that you have to bring a whole f'ing fridge-load of food. Just bring a variety so that if one thing strikes out, you have a back up.
I've done a lot of kayakfishing over the past three years and one thing I've found to be true with respect to food while fishing. If your fishing really hard, there's no telling what type of cravings will creep up on you. You SHALL experience a shift in your food preferences when under stress. And if youre thinking about the chocolate donut you wish you had, then youre not concentrating on fishing.
Bottom line: anticipate nutritional needs, including cravings and hydration, and provide a selection that will satisfy your hunger under "race" conditions.
IMO: fried chicken, california rolls, chocolate donuts (winchell's not KK), doritos, and powerbars are pretty kind. And beer if i'm on a PB!
