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

Ginger slices works for me. I chew them like gum but the taste gets to you after the 3rd slice.
Try chewing some gum (minty flavors) and keep your eyes on the horizon. Bring food with you, cuz you'll need it after you chum.. If the swells are bad, I will definitely get sick, but i'll just chum and fish on (with snacking in between so I have something to chum).. Everyone's body reacts differently, hope you find the remedy that works for you. Good luck and see you guys on the waters. |

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.

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.

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 think its a good idea eating fresh seaweed like that. If you do make sure you clean it very very well. Trash and chemicals float on the surfce and guess where they anchor too. Also lots of lil sealife hangs around kelp too. Do know you want to ingest them either. Any seasickness pill night before and if you start felling it take a second. What works for me is beef jerky when I start feeling it.

Bong loads and beers, the colder the beer the better so make sure you have them in a cooler.

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 Thank you all once again. |

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. Last edited by ctfphoto; 03-09-2014 at 05:37 AM. |
