Motion sickness - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

NONE of those things work for me. The only sure fire 100% guaranteed way to not get motion sickness is the Scopalamine patch. You need to get a prescription from your doctor, but I've been using them for years. With my insurance, it comes out to a few bucks a patch. I'm cheap though, so I still cut them in half. Allows me to get out on the water without ever getting sick.

One of the first things I learned was not to stare into the water for long periods of time. Look at the horizon more, the more time you spend on the water the more your body learns and adjust. Some people need to not only do that but maybe even use a patch. All I do now, is to make sure I drink plenty of BEER, 4,5 or even 6 in a 6 to 11 hour fishing trip out in LJ. That's my recipe and I'm sticking to it!

That, and a few wet, greasy cheeseburgers to settle the stomach!

Years ago, cold greasy ribs always worked for me. They are still my fav on the water lunch. A cold 7 up and saltines work too.

I never got seasick until that batray came up and bit my foot. I didn't puke out there but I think the stress of it upset my stomach. I had to head back into the bay to lose the motion sickness
