“Caught 28 Spanish and 6 blue fish in a 5 hour trip.”
Vicki Campbell-Potts“Went out for a 5 hour trip and Captain Tilley and his First Mate made this a very memorable trip for my three boys aged 8 - 10 - 14. Not only did they know where the fish were but they made it enjoyable for the littles. We will be back again next year for a longer trip thank you for the memories.”
Marcelo Pedreyra“Writing this from the boat on the way in, what a wonderful time with my son and Captain Dave and his mate Nolan, caught our limits in King Mackrel, caught a few albacore, Capt Dave had us on the fish and having one hell of a time. Will be back 100%. Would recommend anyone looking for a deep sea fishing charter to book Capt Dave and The Wild Rover III”
