Don't forget an extra cooler for all the extra food you'll need, you know for the munchies!

What works for me is beef jerky when I start feeling it.

Out of all comments, I was not going to try the seaweed one for sure. Sushi is the closest I will get to seaweed :)

I am going to take Dramamine/Bonnie pill the night before. Eat an apple and some crackers in the morning. I will also take some sun flower seeds and saltine crackers. I was also thinking to soak some ginger in a bottle of water and sip on it throughout the day. Look at the horizon and avoid long stares at the FF. Best of all, I will try to hook a yellowtail or a 30" Hali :reeling:

Thank you all once again.

They have them at a lot of places. Nice thing is you can use it even after you start feeling maggoty. Also, once you feel better you can take it off and give someone else some relief.

I always thought those were a gimmick, may be worth trying after all.

Same as the rest for me- dramamine the night before and morning of. If it's calm I don't need anything, but one day I should have taken it and didn't. Chumming from the kayak is not fun. I was worried I'd lean too far over to clear the kayak and roll.

I prefer the "Less drowsy" dramamine. Also the focusing on the horizon is solid. Even on fishing boats I can get queazy for a second if I focus down too much, rebaiting, tying on rigs, etc.

I also learned: limit alcohol the night before, and get a good nights rest. Makes a world of difference. For my wife- perfume is a no go.

He swears by it. Nothing else has ever worked for him. Even if it is all mental, for him it works and is worth its weight in gold.
