What to eat while out on a float tube?

[Jeff Soto]

Just curious as to what the different members take out on their float tubes to munch on and drink while you are out there for several hours.   I love the tins of smoked baby oysters and crackers, but they are messy if you are not careful, with the oil they are packed in.  Then you have to carefully put the empty can into a ziplock bag to throw in the trash later.  I always end up getting that oil on my tube or on me.  And if you spill any overboard, it makes an oil slick that follows you around, trying to get on your 'tube..! no matter how hard you kick!

Sardines! just keep em in the can til I get hungry! yummy! then after I am dont I wash out the can and stash it in the tackle bag, and all the sardine scent trail will bring in more fish!

Does any one know of a good way to patch up any holes in the float tube bladders.  I use bicycle patches now,  I always clean the surface with alcohol.  Any one have any other ideas on patching  holes?????
