Yeh baited is better, just need to catch some first to use as bait lol. The method I have used should give me an arc from one weight to the other with the baits at 2 to 15 foot & back. Each type of bait is spread out for best effect. Justme

I find they are impossible to keep on the hook.

Went & pulled the short long line out last night as I got some local knowledge that sugested I was in a terible spot. Would not have caught anything anyway as it was baddly tangled, must have caught on the side of the boat as I put it out. Move position & tried to put the long long line out but the qeezyness over took me again so nothing was left out last night. Went out again this morning but just motored around. I felt ok but it was quite choppy so I dint even try to put the line out.

This free food from the sea is starting to get costly lol. Will keep on trying. Need more time to gain my sea legs so will keep going for a spin round the bay till I get better or die (well it feels like I would rather die than puke some more) trying.

Any sea legs tips? I seem ok till I have to look at some thing in the boat.

same here - if you look at the horizon the nausea passes, but baiting a long line is one of the worst things as it takes such a long time. i'm usually ok if the boat is moving, but all that wallowing around at anchor just does it for me

Coil the line into a box/basket and bait the hooks ashore. Be careful as you coil it up because it has to be shot without tangling (easier said than done, I know) But that means you can only have the line set every other day, unless you make up 2 lines....

Have been trying afew methods

1, Coiled round a cable drum with the hooks going to the hole in the middle
2, hooks set on the edge of the boat with the line looped on the deck
3, line on the reel & hooks on a sepperate bit of wood

It still comes down to as soon as I look down to see what I am doing I feel queesey. Luckily not actualy been sick yet but give it time. Was out for about 1 1/2 hours this morning & felt ok but whilst in town at lunch & even now still I feel as if I am still at sea.

I guess I just got to keep at it.

If you want a hand anytime just give us a shout. I have a boat (a small dory) which I intend to take out for a bit of fishing around Anglesey and could do with some more famalirisation.

I know what you mean about sealegs. not so good myslef so I always take some ginger with me, if find it helps - sometimes. I'm okay if I can keep glancing at the horizon but it's not easy.

Crystalised ginger, ginger biccies don't have the same effect. EV

I've find either is effective, for me at least. I'll bring some with me.

Dried far more manageable on a boat!
Imagine the concentration needed to get a jar of the stuff open, and it'd be slopping everywhere

Enough to make you sick before you had a chance to munch it.

It's a great thread despite all the vomit. Is it the engine in the boat? I've never had a problem sailing or rowing for that matter but do feel a bit bleurgh if the boat has a usually smelly engine. This doesn't help though does it. Unless you row out and back again.
