Bring a small spinning rod with some steel leader and jigs. Once you catch your 2 snapper you can go after other game fish like dolphin and mackerel. Spinning reels are easy to cast without a lot of elbow room.
On your bottom fishing rig attach a spinnerbait skirt to the hook. Bait stealers rob the cut bait pretty quick but the plastic skirt will keep catching.
Snapper Slappers work great. Always catch some of our biggest fish on them and diamond jigs.

Dramamine is effective, but it can make you very drowsy. Instead, I suggest asking your doctor for a prescription for Scopolamine patches:
Easy-to-read patient leaflet for Scopolamine Transdermal Patch. Includes indications, proper use, special instructions, precautions, and possible side effects.
They aren't very expensive, and have worked well for me in the past. Also, try to find some ginger (in the spice aisle of the grocery store - get the crystal form of it - NOT the powdered kind). If you get really sea sick, suck on a piece of the ginger and it can help. Funny, but I carried a small bottle of it in my tackle box for many years and never had to use it. I finally threw it away when the bottle started looking (and smelling) too funky.
Good luck, let us know how you do on your fishing trip.
Regards,
Dave

We did it Friday and a couple other tips;
Grab a stack of hand towels to keep the goo off with.
A small towel or pillow to lay your head on on the cabin to sleep on the way out and back in and the cabin gets COLD- so a beach towel to cover with?
One of those "hook out" rigs for removing a circle hook with-or wait for a deck hand and they are busy so it'll slow you way down.
One of those cheap deal that you punch the gut to release the air from the fish.
Our trip was great, everyone on the boat got a limit (probably average 18") and a couple of Lingh were caught.
Will be going back next year the kids have a ball.
