The Joy of Motion Sickness

[robodad]

Am I the only guy who feels horrible on Dramamine or the patch? My cousin takes dram and feels no effect, I just don't get it. I've tried everything except the bracket including taking ginger a week before fishing.

Dramamine never worked for me, had to switch to prescription Scopolamine....

Just curious what you pay for them patches ? I don't get seasick unless I drink a fifth of fireball the night before (don't do that anymore) but I get the patches in case someone I take fishing needs them and they are like $15/ea at Wally World but wondering if I could get them cheaper elsewhere ?

Luckily I have never got seasick (Knock on my hard wooden head) but have had many on the boat that have. I always liked the ones who say " I've been in typhoons off such and such coast and have never got seasick" I generally give them 20 minutes then the chumming begins    or like my late cousins husband said when we were in Sitka going out for halibut, and other bottom fish, " I use to fish out of Tillamook, Or. in a 12foot boat and never been sick". That dude puked like a poisoned pup  ( he always seemed a bit phony to me anyway).. Now that I have said all that, I'll probably puke my brains out this week at Westport

Robo, last time I got them, they were a prescription, got them through my health care provider pharmacy, probably 10 bucks for four patches?

I never have been sick,partied all night long and went out, still no sicky...But them that I do know that  get sick the moment they step on the boat,love the patches..Stay out off the cabin area.

I think that the best definition of seasickness is that 'First you are afraid you are going to die; then you are afraid you won't'

Cant believe I did not see this in here. Bring Gingerale. It makes your stomach so smooth if your feeling queezy. Ginger in general works, but sipping a Ale will keep you going all day!

Seasickness can come and go. I grew up in a house on the beach. I can't tell you how many hours my brothers and I have fished the saltwater in 40 years. Never as issue with seasickness. A couple years ago (at 38 years old) my brother got seasick. Now he gets sick every time unless he takes medication.

For all you guys that laugh and joke (I was one of them) about being a puzzy if you gets seasick,your time may be coming.

The only time I've gotten sick on the boat was when we were in Neah Bay and it was our first time up there when I was around 13 years old.  It was a pretty bad day and we had a 21' boat back then, we still headed out to Swiftsure for halibut fishing while my dad's buddy went out in his trophy.  We didn't even know they had turned around on the way out there because of how bad it was.  Couldn't even see over past the swells when we were at the bottom of them.  I didn't yack but I felt like it the whole time we were out there and was pretty scared too until we finally made it out to Swiftsure and it was a little calmer.  My dad said that was the only time he was scared driving the boat, I haven't been back up there since just because of that one experience lol.  He keeps telling me it's no where near that when they go every year but I'm just like uh huh I'm good.

Stay away from the back of the boat fumes will get you . Stay off the front of the boat if ruff . Fish the middle  no fumes and no big motions from being on the bows

In 22 years of chartering off the coast of S.E. Alaska I've never been sea-sick but the stories I could tell.
