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:
“Awesome experience! HE KNOWS WHERE FISH ARE!”
Sam Isenhower“Absolutely "First Class". We caught fish while the other boats were not. We did a 5 hour trip and will do a longer one next time. Captain Dave and Tyler are "good people" . They call it fishing not catching so if you're on a day when they are not biting you could not be with better people. Fishing was great for us on our vacation July 11, 2018. Thank you Tyler and Thank you Captain Dave. We will be back!!”
C&E B“Captain Dave put us right on the fish and Nolan was nothing but helpful in landing fish and keeping lines in the water.”
