Re: sea sick
My father told me the best cure for seasickness is to bear hug a tree.
But actually, if "you caught a fish" and it seemed to go away," then just before you get the "tinge", get up & do something: plot a new course, check your lines/baits, bring in a line & change a lure, talk to someone on the radio, sign a song, etc
If you know someone is prone to seasickness, don't troll with the wind (engine fumes affect people); have them sit in the middle of the boat, keep head up, eat a pretzle or saltine cracker. (sometimes an empty stomach affects people). Let them drive the boat for a minute or two. Also they should be wearing a hat (regardless of the weather) and sunglasses.
