Thresher in Oceanside

[goldenglory18]

One of the leading causes of seasickness is dehydration.

Drink LOTS of water the day before, and have a good, but light breakfast before launch. I give that advice to a lot of ocean newbies and it seems to help quite a bit.

Oh, and I'm pretty anti bonnie. Look at the ingredients and tell me its worth the $$....

Have you guys had any issues with drowsiness from the dramamines and bonines? Seems like the meclizine-based ones (bonine, less-drowsy dramamine) tend to have less reputation for drowsiness, though perhaps can vary from person to person. I'll have to get some and see how it works for me.

Is that just because of the cost over plain meclizine?

Another good alternative is pickled ginger. I typically have a small zip lock with several chunk of ginger and just chew it like tobacco.

I take dramamine but I still feel queezy and you get the drowsiness effect regardless. Also avoid eating anything greasy the night and the day of your trip to help with crazy stomach issues. Nothing worse than needing to go #2 in the ocean... lol

Nice Catch and posting!

Thresher belly is really high quality and the meat overall is great.

Cheers!

It's a synthetic Ginger. That's why the "all natural" is legitimately ALL GINGER. I've found both to be equally effective and preparing the day before a trip to be even more so.

Like what JayDee mentioned, pickled ginger is just about as effective and A LOT cheaper route...
