Seasickness - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I used to get sick as a dog. Whether it be kayak, boat, diving I would get sick no matter what. I'd be chumming in no time and even the slightest bit of motion sickness can make fishing no fun. I've tried the Dramamine, Bonine, other random motion sickness pills, as well as the patch. The patch was the only thing that worked for me 100%. But at the end of the day, it costed money, you need prescription for it, you have to make sure it stays on etc.
One day I just told myself I'm not going to get sick anymore, and I fought it mentally. And won. I can be in heavy heavy swells, wind, small boat, big boat. Doesn't matter anymore. I just tell myself I'm not getting sick, and I don't. Not sure this would work for everyone, but it worked for me.
