Well, I tried fishing out of Westport 4 times on charter boats - each time trying different methods to avoid sea sickness - and nothing worked. I don't have a boat of my own. Also, I grew up going lake fishing with my dad in a canoe, and although it only flipped once, it came close a lot - especially when he would lean over the side to take a leak. Basically, I like the shore as it is drier, there is less of a chance of puking, it's cheaper, and a lot less of a hassle. But, hey, if anyone has an extra seat and you're headed out on something other than huge swells, let me know.
