In the last few years I would get really
stiff after fishing and then sitting still
for a while, such as while driving home.
Something that helped reduce this quite a
bit is drinking water: I take a bottle with
me and make sure I go through it during the
day, along with my usual coffee, etc. I
think that I was partially dehydrated much
of the time and dealing with that helped
reduce the stiffness.

Many years ago when I taught my first driving school, one of my fellow
instructors noticed I wasn't drinking anything. I became very fatigued and it
was because I was dehydrated. He brought a liter of water to me and I must
have drank the whole thing in one swallow. From then on, I carried a bottles
in the car and drank as much as I could. I always carry water when I'm
fishing. I have one of those back-pack-like bladders that you can fill with
ice/water. It's better than carrying a container of water, and if you put ice
in the bladder, it cools your back during the day.
