Garrett Goodson, Captain at Live Action Charters OKI

Live Action Charters OKI offers dependable, family friendly fishing trips in Oak Island, North Carolina, led by Captain Garrett Goodson. With decades on the water, Captain Garrett focuses on putting guests at ease while giving them a real shot at quality fish. Whether you are brand new to fishing or have years of experience, every trip is designed to be relaxed, organized, and enjoyable from start to finish.


Oak Island waters are known for their variety and consistency. Depending on conditions and season, anglers can target species like Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Cobia, Black Drum, Bluefish, Bonito, Barracuda, and several types of Grouper. Trips may include nearshore and offshore fishing using techniques such as trolling, bottom fishing, drifting, jigging, or spinning. Your captain will adjust the plan based on weather, bite patterns, and your group’s goals.


You will fish aboard a well maintained 24 foot center console that comfortably accommodates up to six passengers. The boat is equipped with downriggers, quality electronics, and all essential safety gear. For added comfort, there is a toilet on board. Rods, reels, tackle, lures, ice, and fishing licenses are included, so you can arrive ready to fish without extra preparation.


Live bait is often available, though availability can vary by trip. Be sure to ask ahead of time if you are interested in using live bait or catching it during the trip. A professional first mate assists on board, helping with rigging, baiting, and keeping lines in the water. A gratuity of 10 to 20 percent is customary for good service.


There is no need to purchase a fishing license, and fish cleaning is included for up to ten fish, with additional fish cleaned for a small fee. Some species may need to be released due to regulations, and Captain Garrett is always happy to explain current rules.

Guests are encouraged to bring sunglasses, a hat, bottled water, and non spray sunscreen. Light snacks and some drinks are provided, and moderate alcohol is allowed, excluding hard liquor and glass containers.


If you are looking for a welcoming, family friendly fishing charter in Oak Island with an experienced local captain, Live Action Charters OKI is ready to help you make the most of your day on the water. From kids catching their first fish to groups celebrating special occasions, trips are paced to match your comfort level, making memories that last long after the boat returns to the dock. It is fishing made simple, fun, and welcoming
