You have to get better to die when you have seasickness. I've only been queasy once.

My son and I are heading up to Waterfall on July 21 and was a little worried about motion sickness. Got a prescription for the Transderm SCOP (the patch). The Doc said the pills were available but if one gets sick before taking a pill you might not keep it down and then you are screwed. Both have drawbacks of course. I do get motion sick sometimes on Puget Sound while sailing or fishing, and on the ocean also when conditions are pretty bad. I used a patch many years ago but after we crossed bar (Westport) the ocean was flat and have not used one since. I have gotten motion sick a few times and when I do I am totally discombobulated. I slip into the second stage very quickly. I just dont want to take any chances as this is a trip of a lifetime and dont want to spend 4 days puking from the dock.

What are the conditions up there, the charts make it look fairly protected, but if there is wind and heavy tides could get sloppy I guess.

Oh, the first stage of seasickness is when your afraid you are gonna die, the second stage is when your afraid you are not gonna die!

Sure hope your guys have a great trip, sounds like good times, not just the fishing but all the other activities also. Save some of those fish for us.

" But, if you get motion sick and can find/get a prescription for the Scopace Pills, I highly recommend it. "

Or it'll be "Puker's Point"

Have a great trip!

I used the patch one trip. Dont think I needed it as the weather was nice but I was lucky and had no noticable side effects.

I generally take any opportunity I see to flip people [Bleeeeep!]....

...I'm going to take a pass on this one, don't want to rile up the seasick gods.






















I'll make an exception for Paker....he's still a....

Bring the shin guards

Doesn't get any better than sitting on the dock at Mantown eating fresh crab, tossing the shells in the water and looking out at the beautiful water.

I've been lucky enough my whole life to be part of Team Point and Laugh at the Seasick Guys...when I was a kid, if there were ten people puking and one fishing, I'd be the kid holding onto the rail with one hand and fishing with the other.

I hope I'm lucky enough for that to never change!

Some guys I fish with have been happy with the ginger chews for keeping the nausea away.

Fish on...
