There’s nothing better than a calm day on the water, the gentle splash of the line, and a tackle box full of gear. But you know what separates a good fishing trip from a great one?

Snacks.

Whether you're heading out at sunrise or planning a full-day boat session, bringing the right snacks can seriously upgrade your fishing game. Sure, jerky and sandwiches are classics . but if you want to go next-level, don’t skip dessert.


Cookies on a Fishing Trip? Absolutely.

Trust us: there’s something deeply satisfying about biting into a soft, chewy cookie while you’re waiting for the next big catch. Especially when it’s something indulgent : like a chocolate chip cookie with Nutella filling.

If you haven’t tried Nutella stuffed cookies, you’re missing out. These things are packed with gooey hazelnut filling, wrapped in a buttery, choc-chip dough. Great with coffee, better with cold beers, and perfect for sharing (or not sharing, we won’t judge).

We recently stumbled across a Melbourne-based bakery called Crumbaroo, and their chocolate chip and Nutella cookies are exactly the kind of treat we didn’t know we needed on a fishing trip. Big, bold, and full of flavour.


Stuffed Cookies = No Mess, All Flavour

Unlike crumbly store-bought biscuits, these chocolate chip Nutella stuffed cookies are hefty and satisfying : think one cookie and you're good. No icing, no stickiness, just rich, baked goodness with a gooey centre.

They also offer a Biscoff stuffed cookie, if caramel and spice are more your thing. Either way, they’re baked fresh and travel well, which makes them a solid addition to your tackle bag snack stash.


Final Cast 🎣

You pack your rods, lures, and maybe a few beers. Why not pack a little sweetness too?

Next time you’re prepping for the water, don’t forget to throw in a couple of Nutella filled cookies. You can check them out here , trust us, you won’t regret it.


Pro tip: Hide one at the bottom of the cooler. Future You will be very, very happy.

Unexpected Finds at Ayla Lake – Fish, Fresh Air & Loaded Cookies

 Last Sunday, I decided to change things up and headed over to Ayla Lake in Caulfield for a relaxed solo session. It’s not your usual fishing hotspot, but sometimes the quieter, tucked-away spots surprise you—and this one definitely delivered.

The lake was glassy with barely a ripple, and I spotted a few fish cruising near the reeds. I rigged up light and landed a couple of small redfin—not monsters, but a good little fight on ultralight gear. It’s always satisfying to get bites in a suburban setting like that, especially when you least expect it.

On my way back, I took a detour past a local Caulfield market, and that’s when I stumbled across something seriously next-level—Crumbaroo’s stuffed cookies stall. I’d heard whispers about them but hadn’t tried them myself until then. Let me tell you, these guys are baking some of the best stuffed cookies in Australia.

From Nutella stuffed cookies to their decadent peanut butter stuffed cookie, every bite was rich, gooey, and ridiculously good. If you're into loaded cookies that feel like a meal on their own, Crumbaroo is a must-try.

Fishing, fresh air, and a surprise cookie fix—sometimes the best days are the ones you don’t plan too hard.
