Here’s what anglers are saying about their trips with Wild Rover III Charters based in Carolina Beach, NC
“Dave and Brandon were great. This was the first time taking our 6 year old out and they were sure to make it the best for him. Brandon was patient and did an amazing job explaining how to pull the fish in and handing the twisted line (we did) without complaining once. Dave was friendly and extremely hospitable and help us plan the right trip to fit us. We were on the fish all day. I will be returning and will be booking with them again. Thanks again Dave and Brandon for a great trip.”
bryan dodson“Captain Dave put us right on the fish and Nolan was nothing but helpful in landing fish and keeping lines in the water.”
Brendon Moriarty“Capt. Bob and mate Nolan were awesome! We had a blast fishing for Spanish Mackerel and the grandkids loved every minute! Will look you up again when in Carolina Beach!”
