Seasickness
Anyone has a good remedy to help prevent or limit seasickness?

Dramamine

ya
Dramamine, take one pill 1 hour b4 you go out. When I am out in ruff seas with the big waves I still get sick. I am speaking from a kayak point of view. It could also make you hungry so take food. I also drink ginger ale while out. The ginger does something. |

He's on the patch |
Get on the water more...it wil pass

I was out at LJ on Friday and did take a Dramamine an hour prior to starting. By time I made it to the kelp I threw up 3 times. The surf was terrible. I was hoping someone has a something other than Dramamine :)

Try to not constantly be looking down at the water. Look around some toward the horizon or coast so your brain can adjust for all the movement. If you only look down it will make you feel nauseous in a short time. It worse with rough seas.

For some people like me an hour before is too late. I usually take the night before.

I first started taking Dramamine the night before I fished. I then went to an hour before launch. Now I only take when I need it on the water. I also ALWAYS bring some crackers with me. A couple of crackers and sips of water can mellow me out until the feeling passes.
PS. IF ALL ELSE FAILS I JUST HOOK A YELLOWTAIL. MAKES ME FEEL BETTER INSTANTLY. |
I did 22 years in the Navy, still riding ships, haven't need anything until recently when the rollers in
the Hawaiian area hit 20-30ft+ and make cruisers bob like corks. Took a Bonine pill just in case worked well. take then the night before and 1 hour prior to launch Andy 6 hours. This is what I gave I my daughter on our first 1 1/2 day cattle barge together it was rough but the did the trick.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
Patch works 100% of the time, I just put one on.
I will be trying to wean myself off of it this summer when the swells are smaller. |
Friday Saturday the waves were big. I do not go out in ruff seas myself. Pm if you want to go out Oceanside harbor and practice, you can get in and out of open water pretty quick. I can tow you if you get to sick. It took about 6 months for me. I use to get sick on the dock going up and down lol, the pier as well.

Take a small bite of kelp, chew it up and swallow. Takes away seasickness. Also don't stare down like stated above. Time on the water fixed things for me but every now and then I'll start to get queasy if I stare at me fish finder too long
|
i dont get sick but my daughter does. bonine the night before and before going out. ginger candys and ginger ale and keeping something in your stomach like crackers helps her a lot.

I'm going to take Dramamine the night before and see how it goes next time. Thank you all for your posts.

Bonine It's a motion sickness pill similar to Dramamine, and in the same area in the store.
