Here’s what anglers are saying about their trips with Wild Rover III Charters based in Carolina Beach, NC
“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.”
John A Brooks“One hell of a trip! Caught a bunch of fish and had a great time doing it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great deep sea fishing trip. Captain Dave had us on fish the whole trip and had us laughing the whole time. Couldn't ask for a better experience.”
David Paff“The best experience ever best fishing trip ever 10 stars been on a lot of charters all over this is ny far the best I ll be eating fish for a while we cant thank u enough”
