Half a Travacalm an hour before you head out and another half at the ramp and you should be sweet mate.

If you're out on a charter and get sick I can't see them coming back in for you when there's other paying customers on the boat so I wouldn't risk it if you think you'll get sick. I've been full blown sea sick in high school after eating a pizza and then getting on a dive charter boat and heading over to Rotto in big seas and it is terrible. It was made worse by the fact that one of the chicks in my outdoor ed class vomitted into the box of mask and snorkels.

 Heĺlo FishingBhutan,

Mate I suffer the sea sickness pretty bad .... I have found my best cure to be a product called Piha Sea Sick Bombs.

It is a remedy made in  New Zealand. 

Google is your friend, they now do web orders but you can always ring and hand the CC details and I have had them ship to Perth in 3 days.

Good product. .. won't get in a boat without them 

 Hi mate i fished for 20 years getting sea sick nearly every time i kept going cause i loved fishing so much. I had tried every thing and nothing worked for me till i tried a drug called stemzine its a anti nausea drug used to keep your food and pills down if your in hospital and can't keep anything down no drowsiness or side effects  just ask your doctor and thay will write u a script i can't stress enough how well thay work

Couple at the ramp before i head out works for me.

 Ginger tea. Eat something but not too heavy. See if someone can take you out for the day in the fishing buddies section and split the bill for bait fuel etc. Might learn a few things also as well.

 No grog the day before and constant ginger beers or ginger ale throughout the day as well as travelcalms (blue) works for me.

 Great stuff. Thank you guys. I get the impression, chemical is the go. Will go see the GP for them chemicals. Meanwhile, thanks sphere for that idea. Will look around for someone with a boat kind enough to take not-so-sure-about sea-sickness guy for fishing. I will do my part and keep my breakie/lunch/dinner small and colourful just in case :)

Unfortunately, I stopped drinking few years ago to heed to someone's advice about chucking a bottle or two at the docks :(

Anyway, merry christmas, happy holidays and may the forces of fish get confused on their way and head straight to your juicy baits on shiny hooks.

 Kwells also work. Just follow the directions but they do tend to dry your mouth out a bit. No prescription needed. 

They are a very old travel motion sickness tablet, however if you strictly follow the instructions on the bottle they work well at least they did/do for me. As I said they are an old product and there are plenty of new potions and pills on the market now. I think if you use common sense and don't get on the grog the night before most of them work pretty well. Stay well away from anything that has the warning may induce drowsiness you don't wont to sleep all through your trip.
So far as being brought back in if you are sea sick and as sick as a dog, forget it the charter skipper is not even going to entertain the idea.
good luck with the charter.

if your serious about fishing you will eventualy get over it ,yes quells works to some extent ,suggest eyes on the orizon dont look down , dont have anything greassy before going out , gargle dont swallow if you get sick on the boat ,and hang on tight to the rail while your burliyng up the ocean .

 Scop pads are the best.

Gives you blurred vision and a dry mouth.

Contains Scopolamine- the truth drug.

Banned in Oz. Get it over the net from NZ

Why wasn't I told this earlier , could have got to the bottom of deckies tall storys much much sooner.

As in , oh I just missed a good fish , or no I haven't seen your best fishing knife etc.

Stay well away from milk, cheese etc, they curdle in your stomach and will make you sick.

As others have said, ginger works a treat, no piss the day before and even on the trip [makes you blow bubbles out of your nose when you spew] but if you are going to be sick then eat pineapple. That way you are going to taste it twice for the same price except the second time its hot

As you are not sure or not if you do get sea sickness give it a go before you take anything and see how you go.

Like Salty2 said, keep busy and watch the horizon as much as possible, if you do start to feel off then maybe take something.

If you do feel sick then another cure is to get into the water..........Probably not practical on a charter boat though !!

Book the charter and good luck 

If you start to feel sick it is too late to take any of the preventive measures for sea sickness. Keep taking small sips of cold fresh water to prevent dehydration and keep it down as long as possible.
I don't wish a dose of sea sickness on anyone, it is a crappy feeling. Also if you are stricken with it remember which side of the boat to throw up on you don't want it to blow back into your face.

True, prevention is better than cure 

 The Kirk's ones I find better than Bundaberg.

Eat gingernut biscuits too.

And make sure you pop more kwells 30 mins before the max useful period of first dose. Works well.

Thank you all so much for the advices. Much appreciated.
I am thinking ezy charters, are they any good? I have seen their boat at Hillarys harbour once when I was chucking some mullies at the dock some evening and their boat look considerably smaller than Mills charter for instance. My idea of charter is that less people, less congestion and more fish and small boat means less people. Any other recommendation for charters? Also what time of the year will be good for that?

specially out of hillarys ,its ok for sight seeing ,or small fry ,id try to find charters out of  two rocks.or freo.at least there you will see most catch even if you dont!good luck

+100 kwells, take 1 30-45 mins before you board. Then a second tablet just before you board. No good once you get crook thou - only thing that works once youre crook is fresh air or go for a dip. I only ever get green/ sick if I'm hung over or really tired so my suggestion would be a really good nights sleep the night before.

 Like Krusty says you might acually be ok and not suffer anything. For me Kwells work well, just one. I tried travacalm once and ended up being a spaceman for the day lol. They all affect us different I guess.

Ive hooked up to a fish while chucking and it sorted me out pretty quick.

Dont be weak and retreat to the cabin, keep fishing!

Two rocks north for better catches I reckon.

i use to take kwells but they would make me drowsy with a dry mouth, i now take travelcalm originals and dont have any side affects at all, 8 bucks for a box. 1 ntablet an hour before gettin on the water andn sweet as

 I get seasick...really badly.   I used to take 2 travacalm and they worked well (no sickness) but floored me really badly (dead tired).  I am now down to 1/2 a travacalm and they work really well, without the side effects.....

   I used to get sea sick every time I went out, so I stoped going on charters .  Thank the fishing gods getting sea sick no longer happens .

   Since I had been doing 2 up line haul work doing east west till I retiered , sleeping in the back bunk whilst partner drove . Rocking back and

   forth getting the same treament as on a boat . No horizon , to look at , I can only say I cured me once and for all . Now I enjoy going out in boats

   no longer making the burley and missing out on the action . You could alwats try that lol .

 I have suffered it all my life and it was only 18 months ago i found something that works for me Phenergan the night before and im good untill about 4-5pm the next day if its a long trip i will take another one around lunchtime 

Avoid eating nuts, they hurt, but apricots make your spew taste tolerable...

 Thank you all for the advices. I went out on a friend's boat past Rotto on Monday to fish. Took one travelcalm 30 minutes before boarding and seem to work. We got to our place (I havent a clue where) and started fishing. Withing five minutes, caught two red coloured fish and then started smelling breakfast behind my throat. The dry mouth didnt help either. Took another travelcalm to no use. Well, looking at my kalahari mouth and tropical eyes, my friend decided its best we head back and the moment we entered freo, sickness is gone but I was left with a terrible headache and the driest mouth. 

Anyways, good news is I did not throw up and my friend was proud. 

I will try again in a couple of weeks.

 The advice I was given is to take a couple of Travelcalm the night before, one before you leave home and one when you get on the boat (I don't get seasick, it's the advice Drew from Jazz Charters gave me as the Missus wants to give fishing a go one of the days and he does have a bit of trouble with seasickness).

Make sure you drink plenty of water when you're out in a boat, you'd be surprised how de-hydrated the salt in the air makes you
