So Cal Ocean Vets Advice..

[Bigben32]

[quote SkunkedAgain]Hey just curious, I have heard others say the back of the boat is best, why is that the case? Just wondering in case I don't get a shot at the back? I assume we will be anchored or drifting, why does the location make a difference?

Also one other question I will throw out to everyone.. How does Bonine... Meclizine the over the counter sea sick med compare with the prescription one? Has anyone taken them and know if they both work, and if they make you too drowsy or fuzzy??? Do you know what I mean... I took a sea sick patch once and it made me feel like I was in a dream state and so I didn't really enjoy my trip, but it was way better than the time I was puking my guts out for four hours.. Sucks to be sea sick... I just don't like to have to go see a Dr.. to get a prescription if I don't have to... Thanks J[/quote]


When fishing the Captian keeps the boat pointed into the current of the ocean. There is a guy who will be standing above the huge bait well with a net throwing bait into the water. This bait gets carried out away from the back of the boat.

Every time I have been on a trip and halibut are caught it is always someone in the back 1/3 of the boat.

I suppose for fish that are closer to the surface, being in the back is not as crucial.

Being at the back of the boat also makes it harder to lean off the front and do your "I'm king of the world!" yell.

I am fortunate enough to not have to deal with being sea sick so I can't answer your last question.
