A cure for seasickness?

When I was a kid, there were no medications to prevent seasickness. You just had to tough it out until your body adapted to the motion. Fortunately, there are now some medications that work for most people if they take them before going to sea. However, they usually do no good if taken after you get sick.

That may no longer be the case. Capt. Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star from Ocean City, Md. had some youngsters aboard in rough conditions that weren’t doing well before a doctor aboard gave them a Zofran pill to put under heir tongue. After that they were fine. Monty said he’d never seen anything like that in his 43 years at sea. The only problem at present is that the pill requires a prescription.

Today was just too nice for fluke anglers aboard the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands. Capt. Ron Santee tried many areas, but couldn’t find anywhere with a current as only eight keepers up to a 4-pounder plus a few sea bass were boated.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar had a couple of blues right away, but the current died. They then went off to pick away at chub mackerel and sea bass.

Betty & Nick’s Fishing Club in Seaside Park sent a shot of Charles Kirk with a 23 1/2 inch, 5-pound fluke from the local surf.
