Here’s what anglers are saying about their trips with Wild Rover III Charters based in Carolina Beach, NC
“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“We did a 10 hour trolling trip with Captain Dave and his first mate Brandon. The weather was great and the ocean was calm. Dave and Brandon put us on fish as soon as we started. We had a great time”
me ll“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!”
