We had a great experience taking grandpa and our children out fishing with Captain Del.  Everyone had an absolute great time and Captain Del was the main reason for that.  He was very helpful and patient.  He took us directly to a spot where we essentially just reeled in fish after fish.  We reached our limit within a couple of hours, but Captain Del took care of everything.  He worked up quite the sweat unhooking all the fish as well and repairing the occasional bottom snag.  He had a great...

Our family of four, visiting Oregon from Georgia, had an incredible salmon fishing adventure out of Newport with Captain Del on Rippin Lips II.  From the moment we stepped aboard, Del’s knowledge, patience, and friendly demeanor set the tone for a fun and successful day on the water.  He expertly guided us, ensuring everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout the trip.  We caught some beautiful salmon, picked up some Dungeness crab made some great memories!  We highly recommend Captain...

I’ve been fishing for years, just not in this fishery. We are newbies here on vacation with local family. We ended up booking a second day as well because we all had so much fun. He knows the spots, beautiful clean new boat and gear, and we were on the fish the whole time. He’s a great guide and wonderful with the kiddos as well. In a nutshell, DEL CARES!! Every one of us limited out on both days(fish and crabs). Look no further if you like to catch!! TEN STARS!!!! We will be booking... More

Captain Del is a great captain! He worked his tail off to get us on the fish in what was a “slow day”. He got us on some monster cabezons, 3 nice lingcod and a basket full of black rock fish! Our family had a wonderful time fishing with Del and would highly recommend him to anyone! We will be back!

Captain Del was a blast, he made this trip enjoyable. This trip was a last minute decision for us and he was highly recommended by another charter who didn’t let us down. Del had us on the fish in no time and we caught our limit. We even caught a nice Cabezon too.
