Sea Sickness

Stugeron help, but they make you moeg. I suffer too, and they seem to work the best. Stay hydrated, I normally drink Energade, find it works better than water. Stay on deck and try and keep focused on the horizon if you can. Try not to inhale too much 2 stroke exhaust fumes and stay away from smelly baits, both make me queasy.
Good luck
Good luck
hi . . . . I sit with the same problem, not that i'm going deepsea fishing, but that i get sick as a dog. The trolling was still ok, but bottom fishing . . . chum . . . . chum. Try not to sit at the back while trolling, the outboarder fumes just speed the process up if you are sensitive against sea sickness. I have tried STUGERON, AVOMINE, MITIL in connection with and without VALOID nothing works for me. I just remember for my few deepsea, or should i rather say chum trips, that the medication makes you very drowsy.
Good Luck . . . .
Let us know what worked for you.

I take a lot of first timers out on my charters.
My advice is as following.
Sea sickness is caused by a mis-communication between the balance part of your ears and your eyes to the brain.
No Tabs, they have side effects.
Eat light food night before and no breakfast.
No booze.
Take water to drink on the boat, no cokes etc.
You could take something to eat with for later on the boat, but keep it simple like a cheese sandwich.
When on the boat do not look down, look around at the horizon and so on keep your eyes open and head up.
If you start feeling sea sick, it is best to get it out as soon after you will start to feel better.
WARNING: Do not try be the main man and be brave and keep it in, as it wants to come out and will then go to the other exit where you cannot stop it and cause you great embarrasment and discomfort
Best fix for sea sickness is to go out to sea more often.
Hope it helps

During the 2nd world war Spitfire pilots had to eat a lot of eggs before a flight..this works,but I will tell you in addition to this get some Horizon tablets,this I know will work and stay away from fumes,cabin and thinking about it.A true story about aman in Gansbaai that went snoek fishing with a local is that he got sick and lost his false teeth..his mate then tied HIS false teeth to the line and said,he I caught your teeth,the sea sick guy tried it,but it did`nt fit and said"nee man dis nie myne nie" and threw it back in the water.
I forgot to mention.
Exhauset fumes seem to affect people and mostly guys get sick when the motors have stopped and we are on the drift.
Everytime when someone starts leaning over the side of the boat, we get a good fish on. Obviously the chumming works. LOL
Fighting a good fish helps to keep the sea sickness away.
Enjoy your trip, and let us know how it went and what you got

I have the same problem. I tried a tablet made by Sandoz (its down at the cottage and I can't remeber the name) but it worked for me. I don't think they make more than one. I have been deepsea eight times and on seven occasions have been badly ill with no fish.Personaly I think my best option will be to take nine naked Norwegian nurses along to tend to me.
Guys I got a pharmacy buddy who does a bit of fishing, he uses Sandoz Cimmarazim its a 75mg slow release tablet; Stugeron is only 25mg, take this with a good vitamin and you will be cool, he says you wont be able to cotch even if you try your best.
(take 1 tab/day in the morning)

When I crewed on commercial tunny boats, I remember we took on a bunch of Angolans who it turned out had never been to sea.
A deckboat is a slow vessel and when unladen can really rock and roll add to this the fact that we could be at sea for anything up to two weeks and you can understand that some of these blokes where in for the surprise of their lives. I've seen alot of people get seasick but some of these poor blokes were broken.
Needless to say, the Portuguese fishing master was not impressed and from God knows where came out with his magic cure for seasickness and told them to get a potato and a carrot from the galley and hang it round their necks!
We all thought this was hysterical but weirdly enough, they seemed to get their sealegs pretty quickly after that.
Give it a try, at the very least it'll take your mind off your predicament as you try to deal with all the chirps from your mates!

TAKE DAISY,S TIP,IT WORK LIKE A BOM,AND DONT EET PORK OR PORK PRODUCTS FOR 3 DAYS , THEN THE MORNING OR BEFORE YOU GET ONTO THE BOUT EAT SOFT BOILED EGGS,AND TAKE A COUPLE WITH FOR LATER AFTER THAT YOU CAN EVEN TAKE A DOP AND WILL BE O.K.
I used to get seasick when i didnt eat a good healthy breakfast. so for me the only thing that works is a good breakfast and lots of water when you on the boat. And then if you do get seasick there is something in your stomach to come out, and you dont get those horrible stomach spasms, when your body is trying to push something out that isnt there.
