Seasick question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yeah, seasickness pills get me drowsy too. Bonine is like Dramamine, but gets (at least me less drowsy), but with Bonine and Dramamine you have to take it an hour or 2 prior to feeling sick (or hitting the water).
I generally keep this stuff with me, Motion Eaze, it it natural herbs and flower oils (like lavender and camomille) and place it behind each ear at first signs of seasickness, and doesn't get you drowsy at all. It works for me about 80 to 90% of the time, the other 10 or 20% I pop in a Bonine, and hope that the Motion Eaze re-applications can hold me off till the Bonine kicks in. Been using this technique for years and it pretty much works. Although, I don't get seasick that often but usually have to use just the Motion Eaze about 3-4 times a year.
Also, I have given the Motion Eaze to several other people on cruise boats, other cattle boats and etc... and they always have seen improvemnts or total relief.

Good luck. It's sucks not being able to fish due to conditions. But I ditto, if you hook up and start catching that adrenaline or whatever gets rid of the seasickness.

I've tried it all... The very best thing I have ever used and the most effective:

SCOPACE Tablets.

Yes, you have to get a prescription, but any doc will give you the rx if you tell them its for seasickness when fishing.

Take one 30 minutes prior, and you'll be good for 8 hours. No drowsiness. No motion sickness. No joke!

I too never get sick on a boat, but occasionally get a hint of it in La Jolla in the swell, especially if its sunny and warm. I find staying hydrated, especially with gatorade, helps. I also second the above post that catching fish help!
