Tackle Shop & Fishing Supplies on Ocracoke Island
Tradewinds Tackle is ready to get you in the water or on the water where you can cast a line almost year round with success. Tradewinds is definitely a family operated business. Jeremy and Jackie purchased Tradewinds in 2024 – Jeremy is an avid fisherman, and the couple jumped at the opportunity to raise their family in the small, tight-knit community of Ocracoke Village. In the afternoons and in the summer, you may meet one (or more) of their four children helping at the register and chatting with customers.
The shop carries name brands in rods, reels, and tackle, as well as gear especially designed for this area. They know where and when to go, what bait to use, and all the N.C. Marine Fisheries rules. Tradewinds is an official N.C. weigh station and issues the required fishing licenses. The shop also rents clam rakes, sells crab nets, string and bait, camping supplies, ice, snacks, beach gear, t-shirts, caps and sunglasses.
