La Jolla 10-6 (Lost Rod) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jin,
Sorry to be a weenie, welcome to the board

. I think there would only be a few exceptions of people that have not donated a rod or something else expensive to La Jolla. Dan was right, pre-rig rods to avoid sea sickness. I also take a half dose of non drowsy dramamine the night before I go out. I find that if I take it the night before, it does not make me feel like a zombie as bad. Bonnie and the generic also works. I think it is all the same stuff- Meclizine HCL 25mg. Sometimes I will get some raw ginger and munch on it on the drive down to the shores, I know other guys like the candied ginger. Avoid greasy foods too. Last but not least, make or buy a rod leash and use it. Here is one

Good luck, have fun out there.

no need to aplogize for anything Steve!
now i'm worried if my rod looks like that now

for sure, eating 2 Mcgriddles before the trip was NOT a good idea!
Thanks for the tips on the meds!
