Seasickness question., plz help if possible. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What can help is trying not to stare down too long. If you are looking down trying to tie a knot, mess with tackle, etc for a long time and start feeling nauseated, look up and out for a while. Staying hydrated is another big key and maybe try not eating a giant greasy breakfast burrito in the AM. I fought sea sickness mentally years ago and have not been sick since. I told myself I wasn't about to give up on the hobby for something such as getting sick. The reason I never wanted to start taking a pill or putting on a patch is because I didn't want to be reliant on that. If your body is so used to getting doped up on the water and you never build a self-tolerance to sea sickness, the one time you forget the meds you will be in trouble.
