Our Story
"THE FISHERMEN KNOW THAT THE SEA IS DANGEROUS AND THE STORM TERRIBLE, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER FOUND THESE DANGERS SUFFICIENT REASON FOR REMAINING ASHORE."
- VINCENT VAN GOGH -
EPIC BEGINNINGS
RipLine was forged during a stormy kayak fishing expedition off the treacherous waters of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Conditions were fierce and the paddling intense. Driving wind and waves tested our endurance and resolve. Dark clouds loomed on the hroizon, but with skill, grit, and a little luck, we stayed the course. When the seas finally relented and the skies cleared, we encountered epic fishing. Later, we celebrated our journey around a warm fire against the backdrop of a blazing sunset. With eyes to the horizon and spirits riding high, RipLine Angling was born.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

FEROCIOUS SEAS
A rip line is a natural boundary between quiet and disturbed water. It's caused by variation in the land, abrupt changes in depth, or converging currents that form to create confused seas and dangerous conditions. We chose RipLine Angling for our name because we specifically target these areas in our search for prized game fish. It was a natural fit for our demanding, adventure-driven fishing style.
