Rip N Lipz Charter Fishing

Fishing Lake Erie since 2005. Guiding since 2015.

Our Approach

Rip N Lipz Charter Fishing is a guided fishing service specializing in one-on-one walleye instruction on Lake Erie. Trips are run as full working days with small groups so you’re involved in the process, not just along for the ride.

Spring crappie trips are available on Dale Hollow, and steelhead charters will be added beginning in 2026. Our trip schedule follows the season and the species we’re targeting at the time.

Rip N Lipz runs a focused schedule built around the fisheries we know best.

Early spring is dedicated to crappie on Dale Hollow in KY and TN waters. Once that wraps up, the attention turns to Lake Erie, where walleye trips run through the main season with an emphasis on one-on-one instruction and full working days on the water.

Beginning in 2026, steelhead and salmon charters will be added during the summer months, and lodging access will be available for groups who need accommodations arranged.

  • "Captain Ricky did a wonderful job of getting us on the fish. He is very professional and has a great way with people. We had a great day out. The equipment and boat were top shelf. We will definitely book with Ricky in the near future."

  • "We fished with Ricky and he was awesome. Weather was not in our favor and he shifted his day around to make it work and make us more comfortable. He was very personable and showed us new techniques and also let us try what we wanted. The boat was very nice and well laid out. I plan on coming back and would recommend him to anyone."

    —Former Customer

  • "Captain Ricky, from the initial call to dropping us off at the dock, was literally one, if not the best, excursion I have ever had. Would I recommend Captain Ricky? AAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++"

    —Former Customer

  • "Caught our limit by 1:00pm. Chris has a real nose for finding fish. We got 18 fish and the average weight was 5 pounds with several around 8 pounds. What a great trip. Can't wait to go again."
