On the morning of the trip, The Captain will give you your fishing options based on what's biting and the weather. The West Wind provides all bait, tackle and ice for your day's catch.
The West Wind is licensed for up to 6 people. Anglers of all ages are welcome, but please consider the weather and sea conditions when bringing along small children.
You can book your trip by calling Captain Olan West directly at 252.423.1162.
A deposit is required to secure your trip.
Trips will only be cancelled by the Captain due to high winds and rough sea conditions. Refunds cannot be made in advance. Cancellations within three weeks prior to the trip will only be refunded at the Captain's discretion.
The mate depends on tips. Many people have asked "What is the appropriate tip for the mate?". Generally, tip like you would in a restaurant, 15% to 20% of the charter fee. More or less depending on the service at your discretion.
Bring enough food and beverages to satisfy your hunger urges. Jackets (depending on the weather), sunglasses (polarized enhance your view), soft sole shoes, sunscreen, cameras and a whole bucket of smiles. Your catch will be kept in the insulated fish box aboard the boat. But you will need to bring coolers to take your catch home.
During the summer months, fish cleaning services are readily available at the Fishing Center. Fish cleaning services during the winter striper season is not always guaranteed.
Broad Creek Fishing Center has a fully stocked marina store with food, drinks, ice, fishing tackle, clothing and other fishing related accessories.
If you don't have enough people to justify booking the whole boat, call the Captain and put together a "Make Up" trip.
