start on the beers and dont stop till you hit land. i used this stradegy in last years bill fish comp. worked a treat. if you stop and get hungover however, it will work against you. good luck haha

Have heard one lately about putting one earplug in. If you are right handed put it in your left ear and vice versa.

Would love to help more but Ive never been seasick.

Montes are an awesome place. I suggest you get everything in order. Hate to miss anything by being crook.

Hey mate

 i use Kewells about 20mins before hitting the water.

and it works great for me!

Wife loves fishing but used to get seasick in the bath tub.

Had a chat to the chemist & they said try travelcalm, have since battled to get her outta the boat = she always catch`s the bigger fish & no probs for her in a 3mtr swell now.

Would give them a try as quells didnt work with wife but travelcalm does, get the original with caffine as they dont dry you out or send ya to sleep.

a few people i kno who have worked on fishing boats tape there second and third biggest toes together on both feet and that seems to work, i sometimes not often though i get sick but i just chuck then get back into fishing lol , grew up with a dad n a uncle who wouldnt go back in once they were out fishing so just have to suffer n push through it no pointing giving in. I tried kwells they just put me straight to sleep lol ,

Toe thing :O

might give that ago :P dont laugh if you see me with tapea round my toes people :D

-------------------------------------------------------

Kewells still make me unsettled but nothing so bad that i want to chuk.

is that why i feel so drousy on the boat?

Take 2 the night before as you go to bed then play around with how many you take in the morning.One mate of mine takes none in the morning the other takes a whole one but is trying just a half lately which seams to be ok now.I find if im a bit clogged up i take a sudafed which helps with balance on the bad days.Generally if im sick on the boat it is if i have been sick before leaving or im crook the day after as well so not really sure how bad i will be if i get really seasick.

Travel calm works wonders for me. Kwells as mentioned above just put me to sleep as well.

We all take one tab as we load the boat, within 30 mins we are in the water motoring out.

Have had no probs at all with just the 1 tab.

Keep catching mullas that big & we might have to tape your hands behind your back.

lol

ive only chucked a handfull of times and they have  all been when ive been hungover or only had a small amount of sleep and its rough. often get a bit of a churning stomach in the  morning if its rough and have found alcohol is my saviour!! i know it sounds bad but it works, even at 6am!!! if not try a fizzy drink as i always find the big burps seem to relieve the churning stomach.

try the chewy qwells! they work a treat ;)

grab a bag of prawn crackers the night before from a good chinese.Down a few if you start feeling sick.

travacalm original. my wife takes 2 with some toast about half hour before we hit the water and rarely does she feel off color, also try nibbling on chips or in a biscuit things as long as they are dry and take regular drinks. she is a chronic sufferer and will swear by them. tried the kwels and even the travacalm ginger and all the other remedies but none work . definately the originals in the blue and white pack , cost is around $0 or $10 depends where you buy them

i was told you tap two of ur toes to gether the one in from your big toe and the one next to it on the inside. my mate tryed it and sed he didnt feel sick so it works.

im lucky ive never been sea sick so i dont need any medical.

cheers danno

Ask Shecky, he had some suppositories made up for him by a chemist and he hasn't complained since!

What is actually in travelcalm?

But recently ive been getting a bit queasy for the first time in my life.

 I put it down to being single and my hearing is coming back from not being put through constant nagging!

I just look at the horizon and pray these days...

Real ginger beer is a great help too.  I brew my own (non alcoholic).

If you are getting close to being sick, jump in the water for a swim.

Have a top time at the Montes.

Cheers Pete

Avomine is the only thing for me. And I'm a burley machine of note!
Tried all the others, none works even close to Avomine, but if you take two or more in less than 3 hrs you get mighty sleepy ( on crap side effect).

here is MSDS for it: http://www.racgp.org.au/cmi/swcavomi.pdf

quote: "
What Avomine is used for

Avomine belongs to a group of
medicines called phenothiazines.
Avomine is used to prevent or treat
motion sickness.
Avomine is also used to prevent or
treat nausea (feeling sick) and
vomiting associated with other
causes including:
• other medicines
• radiation treatment
• migraine (severe headache)
• infectious diseases
• problems with balance
.... Each tablet contains 25 mg of
promethazine theoclate (the active
ingredient)"

I've found if I drink coffee before going out I get crook. Get food into your gut prior to heading out and keep nibbling on bikkies works. Fish hard and you won't think about being crook.

I used to be a real chucker!!!
I once read an article, where it was recommended to have a few beers throughout the day, and to ensure you eat a bit as well.
I now suck down the ales and NEVER get sick
Hallelluea BEER IS A MIRACLE CURE!!!

seriously, it works!!
Geez you gonna love the Montes
How many days ya goin for?? Might need to take 3 or 4 slabs.

Get some Transderm Scop pads over the net. New Zwealand has them. For some reason Australia has not got these marvels. You place the pad behind your ear and it protects you for 3 days. Dont get the stuff on the patch on your finger and rub your eyes, as you will see 2 fish everytime you catch one.

This is by far the best remedy for Motion sickness invented. It contains scopolamine.

Here is a link and I have some ready for any long trip, because sea sickness can ruin a planned fishing holiday +++++.

I Highly recommend them in my occupation.

Pretty sure scopalamine-based products were banned here, same as Canada and the USA. Might want to look into that before recommending it to anyone.

And you can get that here as a motion sickness tablet in another version (Kwells and Travacalm HO = Hyoscine hydrobromide), or as anti-stomach cramp tablets (Buscopam =Hyoscine Butylbromide).

I used to get sick on boats. The only ones that work for me are travel calm original in the blue pack

use to get really sick and he used to use a band with a little button on it and you wear it over your wrist so the half circle button presses into your pulse or underside of your wrist. Seems to wotk a treat not sure where he got them tho???

sea bands are they timmo? local chemist

Scopolomine (truth serum that makes people willing to do whatever they are told).....

Could make a fishing trip more interesting

ahahahahaha so many deviouse things floating around in my mind

http://educate-yourself.org/mc/illumformula3chap.shtml

allegedly used by the NAZIs in WW11 at high doses, makes you very euphoric and you will tell tall tales, aswell as the truth if you have a cattle prod up somewhere etc. LOL.

Doses used for uses other than this is lower doses.

But it did have the nickname as the "Truth drug" or "Truth serum"

Could make fishing tales a lot taller.

I found the best are Kwells and 3 ginger tablets (blackmores 400mg get from Chemist) toast and take the above, you must take them 30minutes before you hit the water.  I know when they have kicked in I dry reach, then I know the pills are working.  The ginger tablets after 3hrs on the boat you take 2 more, very very good.  I don't get sick, anymore, I swear by the above.  I suffer from motion sickness, car, boat or plane, these two mentioned are fantastic for me, I don't get drowsy, like on travelcalm.

I use Avail tablets down this way which work really well but never need anything up north, always ensure the ones who get sick have prawns the night before,good berly

thanks all for your help

I got some real good sea sick tablets on perscription
