We booked a trip expecting to catch saltwater species that were advertised in the listing, we met with a different captain than listed,which is fine, but we ended up fishing the fresh water part of the north river. The captain informed us after we had headed out that we would be bass fishing, and we threw jerk baits the entire time, without the offer of trying other techniques when bites were hard to come by while marking fish most of the time. We caught some fish, but not the advertised species, we ended catching, largemouth bass, crappie, some white perch and striped bass. We also booked an 8 hour trip, and were back at our truck after only 7 hours.

That day was a tough day of fishing all around with the rising water temps the fish were on the move and he put you in spot were you could get more action than most spots but they had moved. The slightly shorter trip was a miscommunication and if you want some money back please shoot me your info and I’ll send it to you. Sorry for your bad experience and I hope we can try it again.
Scheduled a trip for my brother, my son and myself. Scheduling is fast and easy. Capt Bud contacted me within a day to ask what we were interested in fishing for. We had the perfect day and Capt Bud had us on fish with the first cast. He worked hard to keep us there all morning. We ended up limiting out on trout. Great boat, great experience. Will definately use Capt Bud and Mott Ridge Charters on our next trip.
We had a great trip. Bud did a great job of communicating with us prior to the trip as we kept our eyes on the weather to avoid storms. His boat rode very comfortably even through some choppy spots. Most importantly, he put us on plenty of fish and we hit our limits on both target species, Redfish and Speckled Trout. There were multiple times we were doubled and tripled up. We would definitely use Mott Ridge Charters again.
Our trip was cut short due to a storm, but Bud put us right on the fish. We caught 9 red drum and lost 1. It was my wife and 5 year old son along for the trip. We had a blast! My wife’s first fish was even tagged!! We look forward to getting information back on that fish. Don’t hesitate to book a trip with Bud!! Can’t wait to do it again!!
