Appreciate you gents, I enjoy the channel. I fish out of OC on my boat and enjoy jumping on charter's several times a year. We often drag friends along with us and find the Scopolamine Transdermal Patch is a reliable medication, Its by prescription, but if you are investing in a great fishing trip its worthwhile talking to your doctor. Tight lines!
Agreed on Scope patches being worthwhile. Went offshore during an SCA for a charter and all the landlubbers used patches and had zero seasickness or side effects. I will cut a single patch in half and it still works great. Any walk in doctor by the coast will prescribe them without a 2nd thought.
Best tip: in the morning, before you pay any money to anyone for anything, stop at a McDonalds and see if they are selling playing cards. If they are, buy two decks and pack them in your fishing bag. Now when you get on the boat, send a text message to somebody, doesn’t matter who, but make sure the message is spelled correctly, something about bad spelling can give your stomach a problem later. Anyway, in the middle of a day, catching fish, measure the water temperature, just dip your junk in the water, does it feel cold? If it does, you are good the rest of the day. BUT, if the water feels warm on your monkey, you are about to get sea sickness. Immediately start to throw the anchor out, but make sure you don’t get any lines in the running gear, that always sucks. Thanks!
My dad took me on a charter boat to catch tautog off of Lewis DE. I loved being on the boat as we headed to the spot and was eager to get to fishing. Caught a small one, then got hit with seasickness. It was horrible. Thankfully the others didn't make fun of the woman having her guts into the water xD Sadly, it's left me terrified to try again, even though I want to so badly. Maybe some of the tips here will help! I'm also open to any suggestions others might have.
Just don't change your diet isn't everything and just don't go get a social coffee if you used to having a certain type of coffee or tea drink that tea in the morning or not coffee in the morning same one you have every single time every morning She don't go by go to Starbucks or there's high class coffee places and A lot of things you're gonna need it just have your regular coffee what do you have every single day have your regular light breakfast have your regular dinner's nothing special rice is good Don't go treat yourself cause you won't fish in the next day eat your regular meals and Keep it regularly normal

Great suggestion. I (Marcus here) am thinking about getting some for bluefin season, just in case. Appreciate you coming by the channel!
Another tip if you’re on a private boat is have the seasick prone person drive the boat in the morning.
I agree. We do that with my brother and it keeps he’s mind off of it and by the time we get there he’s past it.
I hadn't thought about that one, but it's a solid idea!
My trick is chewing ginger candies, and don’t have a big greasy breakfast! 🐟🦀
I've heard that works!
I also find if you keep your body loose and dont rock with the boat so your head stays in one place.

Take it the night before you go to bed
Take a sip of Bitters, the bar drink mix addition.

What's it tomorrow
Smoke a bowl…….what nausea? 😊
Gotta admit, that was funny :)
Keep a full belly or it will turn into a washing machine
Best advice to avoid sea-sickness: hug a tree!
That certainly would work ;-)
