Rip N Lips Charters
Rip N Lips Charters
Rip N Lips Charters offers 4, 6, and 8-hour trips out of Carolina Beach, NC targeting the area’s top inshore and nearshore gamefish. Owner-operator, Captain Ray Dixon, welcomes you aboard for a day of fishing fun. Reel in Red Drum, Speckled Trout, and Flounder in the bays around Carolina Beach then head home with some great memories and a ton of tasty fish!
You’ll be spending the day aboard a 27’ Tidewater center console which was fresh out of the box in 2022. She comes equipped with a 300 HP Mercury engine to get you to the best spots in no time. Once you get there, the vessel’s trolling motor will let you sneak up silently on your chosen species.
Capt. Ray specializes in catching Flounder. If you want to fill the boat with delicious flatfish, he’s your man. The captain isn’t limited to one species, though. He’s been fishing these waters all his life and can get you on whichever fish you choose, from bull Reds and gator Trout to speedy Spanish Mackerel and even Cobia.
Anglers of any age or experience level are welcomed aboard as friends. Your trip includes quality Key Largo custom rods and reels and a variety of lures. You will also find a livewell full of fresh bait ready and waiting at the start of the trip. Capt. Ray even provides fishing licenses for everyone onboard – all you need to do is show up and enjoy!

I booked a trip with my son-in-law and granddaughter, this was her 1st fishing trip, and it was an amazing day for all of us. Capt. Ray took us right to the fish and Nick his mate made sure my granddaughter had the best time. I would highly recommend them and thank you for this everlasting memory. Pat
It was a great day fishing with Captain Ray. My wife and daughter wanted to return to the dock about an hour into the trip due to not feeling well from the unexpected sea state. He happily obliged but we still got 3 Spanish Mackerel while heading in. He and I then returned to get another Spanish before ending the day catching and releasing some flounder. It was a great day to be on the water with somebody who puts his customers first. It was money well spent and to be honest, my review would’ve bee the same had we caught got skunked. Thanks again, Ray!
Thank you Drew for the kind words. I really enjoyed fishing with you today. It’s always fun fishing with good people like yourself. I just wish the sea state was better to start the day. I Believe the rest of your family would have had a great time. When the ocean laid down. Great day. I hope to fish with you again soon. Till then tight lines and catch em up.
Even with cold temps and not much going according to the other captains, Captain Ray and his first mate Nick really did a great job finding us fish. We got into the blues and the Spanish Mackerel while trolling. They are great people and enjoyable to be around. My family had a great time and will do it again. Highly recomend them for families and serious anglers. They can do it all.
Thank you Chris. We enjoyed fishing with you. And look forward to our next adventure.
My father in law and 15 yr. old son enjoyed a great day being shown how to do a little in shore fishing on the river. Didn't have a ton of action but great conversation and learned a few new rigs and how to find some good places for fish. Would definitely try again in the summer months!
We had a really good time too. They were a lot of fun. I’m sorry the fish were not biting better. East wind does that from time to time.
Captain Ray went above and beyond to put us on the fish with my niece and daughter. He was great with the kids, flexible to the conditions, and made sure we had stories to tell when we got home. My daughter's bull red qualified for a state citation! The next day I took my son and nephew and he put us on all kinds of spanish mackeral and flounder. He was flexible with the timing when we had an equipment issue and made sure we got our money's worth. All around awesome experience!
Thank you Jeremy. I enjoyed taking you and your family fishing. Let’s do it again sometime.
