What Wrightsville Beach Anglers Say About Wild Rover III
Here's what recent guests from Wrightsville Beach, NC are saying about their fishing trips aboard Wild Rover III:
“Went out with captain jeff and mate blake this Sunday for my annual birthday fishing trip! What a freakin blast! These guys are top of the line quality. It was more than fun! Definitely one for the books out of many boats ive fished on! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”
Alex Dauman“Hired Captain Dave to disperse late husband's ashes out to sea. He and his first mate, Mike, created an amazing experience for my family. We highly recommend them for an adventure like ours or for a great fishing outing!”
Ginger Reed“Capt Dave is a good honest guy and great fisherman. The day we were supposed to go out was real rough weather, instead of taking our money and taking us out anyway he suggested we hold off. We went the next day on a short afternoon charter and even after a storm and in the hot sun put plenty of fish in the boat.”
