I actually brought a baggie full of salt and a bottle of rice vinegar last time I went out, but didn't end up trying it, even though I caught a solid mackerel (the only thing biting that day...)

Don't forget to remove that outer skin layer....But I definitely might try that. Might also want to bring out a small baggie of cooked rice and a baggie of ice to keep the curing mac meat in.

Personally I usually bring about 20oz of water I rarely ever touch. Just started bringing an RX bar in my PFD pocket for a snack if I get hungry. Usually just don't eat or drink anything from the 0600 launch til about 1300...if I brought food and drink my wife would definitely have a problem with how long I stay out at la jolla...
