Seasickness - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ChristLike · 03-09-2014, 06:34 AM

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.

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

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

Thank you all once again.
