While on vacation at OBX with family, the Minn. men wanted to try fishing.  Capt Bud asked what we wanted and did he deliver.  Being in a stubborn stretch of cold weather he suggested we drive to find warmer productive water to catch enough for some good eating.  We had 11 keepers and numerous throw backs.  Our group of 12 had 2 great meals of Speckled Trout.  The drive to a remote boat access was a pleasant experience to see North Carolina Agriculture land.  Glad we followed his suggestions...

We had a great day fishing with Captain Stephen!!  Started off loading up on live bait then headed out for some Speckled Trout.  Captain Stephen worked hard to get us in the right areas and by the time we were finished we had reeled in about 25-30 trout with 13 solid keepers.  We had a great time and will definitely look to book this charter again next year!!

This is our 3rd year to fish with Mott Ridge. Weather was tough, high wind, rough water. Capt Stephen didn’t let that deter him.  He kept at it until he put us on the fish. Very friendly and personable.  You have many choices of boats to fish with. The 3 of us got our limit. If you want a great experience, Mott Ridge is the right choice. Looking forward to 2025 with them

What a great fishing trip, even for the off season. Bud took us out of Plymouth for Stripers that were still deep in the bay since the ocean was still quite cold. Unfortunately our trip was cut short by a thunderstorm but we still caught 5 and lost just as many. Bud knew the fishing area well, guided our casts, and was very gracious with the lost tackle as we were fishing over submerged stump fields. Bud also graciously charged us for the portion of the trip we were able to get in before the storm. More
