Fishing on the West Wind with Captain Olan West
Full Day Trip – Offshore on July 4, 2025

Do you like to fish? Do you like to catch fish? Do you like a professional boat captain who is very knowledgeable of the local waters and will put you right in position to catch fish? If the answer is YES then Captain Olan West of the “West Wind” is your man! Get ready to reel in dolphin (Mahi Mahi), tile fish, and tuna and maybe even a Trophy Fish! After a successful day of fishing on the West Wind, it was great to relax in the airconditioned cabin. Now I understand why so many families return each season to fish with Captain West! We can’t wait for our next trip! Mike Sheffield Port Orange, Florida
