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

My brother gets seasick in a bathtub & pretty much gave up the salt. Until he found this

Not cheap but nothing, and I mean NOTHING else had worked for him. He swears it is worth it's weight in gold and was worth the $100 on the first trip alone.

I agree on a couple points. I think I am just new to this and need to let the mind/body adapt to bobbing the Pacific. Eating more before I leave and bringing/drinking more fluids is on my list too. Gonna give it a go again on Thursday with the above choices. Hope I don't have to revisit this post for ideas though.

Great ideas all! I made for some interesting research. Hopefully, there will be a fish in my near future to cure me.

Gonna chime in with the others regarding Scopace. Works great for me.

One thing I did was get BOTH the patch and the pills. I put the patch on hours before and have the pills in case the dosage in the patch is not enough.

My doctor then changed the prescription to just pills, so now I take two before going out...not a PEEP of seasickness.

I think there's some truth to the whole mental thing however. I was on vacation at the La Jolla Shores Hotel and went out night fishing with Josh and remembered everything EXCEPT the Scopace.....bottom line, I told myself I was NOT going to get seasick and had a very strong mental outlook towards that and lo and behold, I didn't get any queasiness until around 8am (fished from 3am until 8am) and I attribute that to it being almost time to go in anyways (family was waiting....) so I relaxed my resolve.

At any rate, I'm 'one of those' that gets seasick on the boats as well, so trust in Scopace.
