About Just Rippin Lips
A Newport, Oregon fishing charter built on local knowledge, genuine hospitality, and a deep love for the Pacific.
Our Story
Newport Has a Fish with Your Name on It
Just Rippin Lips was born from a simple idea: share the incredible fishing that Newport, Oregon has to offer with anyone willing to get out on the water. Captain Del Barber Jr has been fishing these waters since he was a kid, and he started this charter to give others the same thrill he's felt his whole life.
Newport sits at the mouth of Yaquina Bay, one of the most productive fishing grounds on the entire Oregon coast. From Chinook Salmon runs to monster Pacific Halibut, the waters here are world-class — and Del knows every inch of them.
Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to fill the freezer or a first-timer wanting to experience the thrill of ocean fishing, Just Rippin Lips is the charter for you. We welcome families, groups, and solo anglers alike.
