There’s a fish with your name on it in Oak Island and Live action charters OKI will help you catch it!
These waters are known for Amberjack, Great Barracuda,, Black Drum, Bluefish, Bonito, Cobia, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream. You’ll target your catch by spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You’ll be welcome aboard a 24’ Center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Have in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
Don’t leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Live action charters OKI!

5 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 2, 2025
My father and I decided to book this trip about a week before our vacation. The captain and his crew communicated with us extremely well, which turned out to be incredibly helpful throughout the week. I reached out to discuss which fish we might target, as well as some concerns about the weather. Each time I contacted them, they responded promptly and made a great call based on the forecast we were all watching. They made the decision to move our trip from Wednesday to Thursday to give us the best possible chance of catching fish. Their flexibility was greatly appreciated, and we got the full five hours on the water. The captain and crew knew the waters well and worked hard to put us on fish. We hit several different spots and saw many boats heading in early. Even though the bite was slow, we still managed to get on some Spanish mackerel—sometimes that’s just how Mother Nature goes. I would definitely recommend spending the extra money (as we plan to next time) to go offshore! Great trip and great crew!

Short trip on July 23, 2025
I took my three kids aged 5 to 10 who have an interest in fishing for a morning excursion. Both of the captains were incredibly kind, patient and engaging. They were just wonderful. They made sure we felt safe and were fantastic teachers. My kids all caught fish and even sharks and had a blast! It was very memorable!

Live action is everything you’d want for a charter: a great captain, well equipped boat, and plenty of flexibility. We rode for miles in some squalls to try to track down fish before a tropical storm hit the area. We will for sure be back for the best deal in charters hand down

They tried to put us on the fish but the tropical depression made a difference. Caught several rays and little sharks but no one was catching due to the storm. Both great people and are willing to go out of their way to catch fish. Will go again
