When jigging seasickness is the worst thing you can experience as you barely move when you get seasick.
Here is the best solution.
My fishing friend loves fishing, but he get seasick even in calm days.
He tried everything. Dramanine, Bonnie, scop patch, ginger tablet, watch preventing seasickness. You name it. He tried everything known for preventing seasicknes, but all failed.
Finally he tried SCOPACE pill by prescription and it worked !
I highly recommned Scopace to anyone who are afraid to go fishing due to seasickness. There is no side effect or drowsy feeling except dried mouth. It comes with 100 pills in a bottle and you need doctor's prescription to buy them.

Kil,

Can you take this when you start feeling sick or do you need to take it several hours before the trip?

Thanks for info Kil. I'll have to get some just in case it gets a little ruff.

So this is the pill form of the Scopolamine patch? Interesting. Hadn't seen it before. I've used the patch for years and swear by it. Won't go offshore without it! This should work well.

So the pill is different than the patch?

I just purchased the Relief Band for my next tuna trip

We'll see how it works

I think scop patch and scopace has same substances, but effectiveness is different. For most guys who don't have severe seasickness, dramanine, boney or scop patch work, but all didn't work for my friend. Relief band or expensive watch didn't work for him either. He was desperate to find a medicine for seasickness and he find peace after he found Scopace.

I've only been sick one time in forty years of offshore fishing. I was about 10 years old and it was rough. The deckhand on the boat was eating a mustard sandwich. The mustard was dripping all over his shirt and he was talking and chewing at the same time. All he could say was "Puke over the rail, not in the head". I think he made about 80% of the people on board that boat sick.

The guy next to me vomited on my shoes. When I went into the bathroom to take a leak, a bunch of other people had left a huge mess with fluids from both ends all over the place. I lost it right there in the bathroom.

I know a bunch of fisherman that get sick. They just fish the bays because of it. They all get tired of catching little fish and wish they could join me offshore. I will recommend this new scopace to them. I've see a lot of people who put on that patch never wake up. I had three people put on the patch last year the night before a trip. I couldn't wake up a single one of them. So, they slept at home while I fished.

Seasickness is a funny thing. Even the best and seasoned Capt's get sick once in a while. I know a Capt that fishes the GOM. He sometimes will fish 45 days in a row in rough seas. For some reason unknown to him, he gets sick for about two hours every other month. I've also seen deckhands toss their cookies that are seasoned.

If anything, I have problems with being to hot. I sweat a lot. I also comsume a lot of fluids on a boat. You can't drink enough fluids in the heat. To cool myself down, I place a towel in the ice chest and soak it with ice water. I place it over my head and let the cold water drip on my body. It really helps control the heat. I call it the "Egyptian towel".

The patch works very well for me. But on a 10-day trip (or any extended trip), I end up going through a lot of patches since I can't seem to keep them on while I sleep (showers are a whole other thing).

Good to know these pills exist. Thanks for the tip.

You can control your dosage, unlike the the patch. The patch isn't enough for big people or people with severe motion sickness.

mrbill, thats interesting that your friends fell asleep. i don't get tired from it, just the dry mouth. the dry mouth is somewhat annoying, but not a big deal. i think if i fell asleep i'd look for another cure!!

maybe ill ask about this next time at the doctor. rarely do i get sick, butit is better safe than sorry i think

A friend uses scopace and is also very satisfied with the results

I used MotionEase on a really rough wreck fishing trip with 8 ft rollers on my Grandson.It help him from throwing up during the trip but he didn't feel a 100 percent alot of people were sick.It's a liquid you rub behind your ear.No pills no side affects.I think it works very good.Look it up on line.Get it at Boaters World or Sports Authority about $13.00

i couldn't go tuna fishing if it weren't for the transderm scop patch. i can stay in the cabin, below deck, fish in very rough seas, even on my friend's 31ft boat. the active ingredient in both scopace and transderm scop patch is scopolamine. my uncle, an md, told me a few years ago that this is the "truth serum" developed by the germans during world war II. the patch is a much lower dose though. i do get dry mouth and some light sensitivity, but i wear sunglasses during day and drink lots of water. the patch takes 4 hours to start working, and each patch lasts for 3 days. my good friend has used at as long as i have and swears by it as well. a weird side effect is difficulty sleeping, and sometimes weird dreams, as the medicine takes effect. on the way back from an overnighter, nothing is going to stop me from passing out though. inshore for day trips, if it's not going to be too rough (4-6ft for me), a dramamine at night and 1 in the morning does the trick

I started using Scopace 3 yrs ago. Great stuff! But be careful, direction says 1 to 2 pills hour before activity, well the first time in 06 I took 2 pills

and I was buzzed out for nearly 2hrs. Haha, my eyes were like twisted and everything were going BOING! BOING! Hehe,

I now only take 1 pill prior and pop another 6 - 8hrs later.

Fresh ginger or ginger candy/motion sickness gum works well for mild sea sickness. But hands down transdermscope(patch behind the ear) works really well for me, and lasts for 3 days.

I was wondering if anyone has used motioneaze, the drops you put behind the ear that are all natural. If someone has tried it and it works I would also be willing to give it a go for an all natural try.

I was seasick for the first time in my life on the July 3-6 Big E trip. When we got into those 6-8 footers the first night, I was doing fine until dark and I couldn't see the horizon. I ate a big ribeye and a couple of ears of corn and was feeling a little queasy as we moved out to the tuna grounds--then I decided I would try going up to the bow theatre so I could recline. BAD IDEA. The part about reclining worked great--being in the bow was a no no. I got to the rail and puked about 3 times and was OK--interestingly after that, when I felt a little queasy (until we stopped to fish) I just walked back to the stern rail and watched the wake, and that helped an enormous amount--kind of gave me a horizon of sorts to watch. Also, lying down with my eyes open on the upper deck helped.
