The Fantastic 2009 Fishing season has concluded here at Ocean Crest, and it was among the best ever. We're thankful for our anglers support. The anglers visiting here over these past seasons have had successful catches from among the many species of fishes available from the resources and the 2009 was no different. Included among those were dozens and dozens of beautiful pier record setting King Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Flounder and many other of the favored bottom fishes including some very nice Atlantic Pompano and Whiting aka Virgina Mullet. During the 2009 season we also witnessed jr angler Thomas Cutler add his name to the record boards with a 27 lb 7 oz Tripletail. The catch earned Thomas a honored "North Carolina State Record Award". His catch and record will be hard pressed to be out matched. We're honored having you visit our website and enjoying the photographic evidence of such feats and we truly hope those visits motivate your joining us for the Fun and Excitement in person........soon.

Ocean Crest Pier recognizes the ever changing economy and how it effects coastal salt water anglers. These undue changes have put new faces on old traditions and a way of life. We realize too, how these issues bare upon the many generations of North Carolina's fishing families and as well individual salt water sportsman. It's obvious too, that lots of familar North Carolina's coastal fishing piers have gone with the tides of change never to return.

We're proud we've weathered the continuing down turns in the economic climate encroaching our North Carolina coastal towns and cities here at Ocean Crest Pier.

Many folks have asked, and yes, it is true that Ocean Crest Pier is the last fully operational privately owned recreational fishing pier on Oak Island. It is also one of the fewer than a dozen or so piers in North Carolina in operation at all under private ownership and traditional operations, which favor anglers successes first over the bottom line. They're no burdens placed upon local citizens or visitors subsidizing the cost of operations with tax revenues taken by government collections, either. This is common practice with municipal operations like those at the Town of Oak Island Pier. Simply put, we've worked hard here at Ocean Crest Pier and our succces and longevity in the regional market place can only be accounted to having delivered, customer service with a genuine smile of gratitude as top priority. Much like yourselves we're an angling family here and we know all too well the importance of having knowledged based information. This information has become a mainstay which sets us a mile a part from other coastal North Carolina pier businesses. The in's & out's of fishing are important to our patrons in the same fashion they are to us. It helps fishers catch more of their favorite fishes. Our goals here always reflect upon those of our patrons. Its a simple formula of success. One we'll continue praticing as we move further into the new year during 2010.
