NC's Favorite Fishing Pier OCP >Welcome to your Fishing Home Away from Home! Its time for the 2008 Fishing season to begin and we're still reminded its a time of change along the North Carolina Coast. Several of those changes most have become familar with, are the sale and dismantling of LB Pier the previous year and the closing of the Yaupon Pier here on Oak Island due to foreclosure just as this past 2007 season ended are reflective of those. These changes have put new faces on old traditions and a way of life. We realize too how these issues effect generations of North Carolina's fishing families and individual salt water sportsman. It's obvious that lots of familar North Carolina's coastal fishing piers have gone with the tides of change never to return. Those are among the dishearting facts of the realities we all face each day. It must be noted though that all is not doom and gloom here on Oak Island for pier based anglers. Its true that Ocean Crest Pier is the last fully operational fishing pier here on Oak Island as we begin the new season. But we've always been up for that task here. It remains one of the fewer than a dozen or so piers in North Carolina in operation as well and continues successfully to do so while remaining being privately owned and operated. 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.
We're honored having all the Wonderful opportunites meeting you and humbled having you return time and time again to our pier. It's fantasic having you bring your families and friends and making them a part of the excitement too, as well a part of our extended Ocean Crest Pier family. The Ocean Crest Pier website was designed with you in mind. Its updated regularly so that our reports and photo's represent the "Newest" and most informative and exciting day-to-day happenings. We're striving to invest in the lastest technoligies making sure our webpages reflect the needs of the customers. The purpose is two fold. The first helping see your angling dollars goes farther and your chances of catching fish increase. The second is remaining a viable enity in a dwindling marketplace, one lessoned by so many factors. From the ever changing ecoligies of our states fisheries, pressures on our fisheries resources, and current restraints on the budgets of the consumers we're serving.
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 making decisions concerning the when, where, why's, and how's too! It helps them 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.
We realize the importance of fulfilling our responsibilities. If we have at the end of the day we can all proudly say..........We've all have had a successful day here.
Whether lost to the sea or the unintenitive developers who seems to have unlimited resources, many North Carolina Fishing Piers have faded into the past. We're Prouder than ever saying "We're staying put", and prouder knowing we'll be here during 2008 serving your families who pick us as their final angling destination. Theres an old saying that if it isn't broke " Don't replace it" and we won't. Our patrons though can rest assured we'll do our best fine tuning the experence. Ocean Crest will continue doing as we have these past five years and that is paying attention to the details and holding true to our commitment to doing whats right for our patron supporters.
