I don't feel right if I'm not a tad bit hungover while fishing.

Yeah and I'm almost never miserably hungover. Maybe it's my youth or maybe it's because I'm not a pussy

Then once the sun comes up you sweat it out. Grab a quick bottle of water and back to cold beer. Thats what fishing is, no?

Sweat it out and piss it out. Not a chance in hell I'm not drinking the night before.

I have to go with team drink on this one.

I eat whatever I feel like. Poboys are awesome boudin and whatever else I can eat with my hands.

I usually put sunscreen on in the morning bur get too excited/drunk and forget to reapply.

Don't forget your fish whistles. Take lots of pictures and have a kick arse time. Quit worrying about getting seasick and worry about having fun. If it wasn't fun we would t spend so much jack doing it.

And y'all quit posting about offshore fishing. You are going to make me quit my job.

You didn't mention Wahoo? Fun and easy to catch.

Use sunscreen before you go out and plenty of it.

I don't ever get sea sick because I look at the horizon and don't ever stare at the floor of the boat like some fools do.

There is a acupressure point inside the wrist that helps ease queasy feeling and motion sickness. Pull and pinch the skin about an inch below your hand on the inside, works for me!

Yep, the time to drink is once you get out there and when you get back.

Paradise outfitters 12hrs

Most charters are around $1200 flat, plus gas which is a little like roulette. I didn't want to do that because I was afraid of telling the guys I was going with a light number.

i went with paradise and Hunter a few yeas ago. it was 1200 + gas and tip.... gas was around 800 so it evened out.

A bottle of Listerine was clutch last weekend to get the stale beer taste out of my mouth. Although it only worked for a short period of time because I would chase it with another beer.

Only time I'll cut back on the drinking the night before and on the way out is if i'm diving. Otherwise, zoot away.

And by cut back I mean drink 6 or so the night before and 1 or 2 on the ride out.
There is no "not drinking"
