Seasickness is horrible, worse than being sick in my opinion because you're green and helpless while trying to do something you love. I'm typically fine in the Straits, but the big water gets the best of me usually. I usually have to suck it up and deal with it which makes ocean fishing not always a pleasant experience for me until we get back to the dock, but I'd rather be fishing than not fishing so I still go. Usually after a few trips, I'm much more acclimated, but I have to go through the misery every halibut season at least once. I'll have to try these nausea pills trophyhunt speaks of. I'm too stubborn not to go out there. Good time spent with family filling the freezers.

Drugs do different things to different people, but I guarantee I'm the most seasick guy on this site and those anti nausea pills worked for me, with zero side effects.  I hope it works for you as well, the fishing is too fun to feel that bad all the time.  Good luck!

Ginger gum has worked excellent for me. I usually do pretty good. But if it's really rough and I start feeling a little yuckie I chew on a piece of ginger gum. You can get it at wal greens etc.

I fly on a p-3 and when we get low all the operators in the back tend to get sick when we are bouncing around. Most people take Dramamine 12 hours before a flight that we know we are going to be below 1000 feet for a while. For the most part it's the new guys who just aren't used to it yet. Keeping a full stomach helps but if all else fail just throw up... you will feel better.

a good friend of mine by the name of Bill had a wicked sense of humor. We where out of westport and people where feeling a bit queasy so he goes and grabs his lunch cooler then asks me to pass him three herring. He placed the herring down in the cooler then unknown to all of us opened a can of sardines. He put the sardines in between some bread with the tails sticking out under cover in the cooler the comes up with his sandwich. He took a big bite out of it and sent three guys to the rails.

I used to use the Scop patch.  Worked great.  Last time out I started to get nauseous shortly after putting it on, several hours before I hit the water.  Puked in conditions that I shouldn't have, even without the patch.  Next day I waited a few hours in the morning before going out again as my stomach was very unsettled on the beach.  Went out eventually anyway and was not feeling good.  Stuck it out for a few hours not catching anything legal to keep.  Puked again then made for shore.  On the drive home I took the patch off.  Within an hour of taking it off I suddenly felt MUCH better.   :o

Seems like the patch itself was making me sick.    :yike:

Going to try a couple things and just have to hope something works.

Dramamine knocks me out.  Bonine isn't terribly effective.  Ginger is less effective than Bonine (and I'm talking ginger pills, not sipping a little ginger ale).  I am running low on options.

I don't think Meclazine will make you tired. It works well.

A Dr. I know went tuna fishing with us a few years ago. He had the scopamine patch too. Was so sick he could hardly function. Felt bad for him. It was extremely rough out. So I could understand anybody getting sick. But he was the worst off by far. You may be onto something about it causing the nausea in some people.

Getting a good night's sleep before really makes a big difference for me. I'm extremely susceptible to seasickness when I'm running on less sleep than normal (which of course is usually the case when I drive out to the coast, eat bad food, drink a couple beers,  sleep in a tent, etc.) but can usually hold it together when I'm well rested. Tried every medication and folk remedy out there.

Other pro tip is to make sure once you start puking that you at least have something in your stomach to puke up. Dry heaving is a lot worse than barfing water.

I've seen it before,I usually get a couple guys every trip that puke their guts out,we keep them working and they eventually get over it,the guys that go lay down are usually the ones we can't get back to work,so they end up riding the boat around,confined to their room until we get back to offload,anywhere from 20-50 day trips. Wish I could post some videos from out here,might make some of you guys qeasy though.
