Hey I want to take my brother out yakin hopefully soon but he is nervous that he will get sea sick. Do people get sea-sick easy kayak fishing? I have never got sick, but then i just dont get motion sickness easy, so i dont want to take him if he is going to get sick. your thoughts will be appreciated.

I used to have a problem with motion sickness, BAD !! Couldnt even go inside on a 1/2 or 3/4 day.... And was pretty sick standing outside, wind in face... Chumed several times...

Float Tubing the bays has stopped it completely .. I am now comfy eating inside and sleeping on multi day trips & private boats. Problem solved...

Suggest you start him in closed bay Like NPH then work to Cabrillo or Long Beach.. The getting used to motion is what cured me...

I read that it was a conflict between sub conscious and conscious that caused it, they just have to chill out and agree... :lol: :lol:

Good luck... Its worth a try....
