Scopolamine in the form of a transdermal patch. Most doses are good for three days. Wear it under your arm.
Most primary care physicians will prescribe it over the phone.
Start wearing a full day before you get out fishing.
I worked a bit deck handed in S.E AK and learned firsthand nothing ruins an expensive trip faster than a hangover topped with seasickness.
Scopolamine works most all the time. Dramaine is ok at best

Eat something Good and Greasy.  It'll be easier to throw up and taste better too!

I think both medications above would help... but just some words of advice. Don't set inside the cabin on the rides... if the front deck is available ride up there. Also setting inside the cabin where you can see in the direction the boat is traveling, if applicable, would probably do as well. You'll basically feel just like you do riding in your bass boat. It's what I did when I started feeling bad last time in Alaska and it totally changed it for me... guess my mind was expecting what my body was feeling... so it all went away.

 

Have fun!

The trick is to not look at one said thing vary long like the horizon that is what start the motion sickness take some salteen crackers with you and snak on them if you need breakfast some kind of frute the main thing is just don't think about it. Remember you run a bass boat on rough days in tournaments. and just have fun good look if all that fails drink lots of beer get drunk and passout

If you go in to this trip thinking you will blow chunks you will.  I've noticed meds work for some, and not for most.  If you aren't on water like this much you won't know what works and what doesn't.  Don't listen to Pat.  I heard he/she got MediVac off Lk Lawrence 3 years ago.

I went out on a charter once in Westport.  I didn't think I would get seasick, so I didn't take anything.  Man, that was a bad idea.  Worst day of my life, chummed all day long.  Will never go again, there's no LM/SM bass out there anyway.  Good luck.

Hm.. I'm in highschool, and my teachers got a son in the navy seals. He said whenever they get sea sick, the chew sunflower seeds. It gives you something to concentrate on and the protein helps to. He said it cures them 100% of the time.
