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 Tilley and Adam today. Both men were generous and great to talk with. They were kind and accommodating to my children. Fishing was slow today (listening to the radio the whole fleet was slow) and Captain Tilley took us out 5 miles further than normal to do his best to get us some fish. Which paying for only a 4 hour trip probably really ate into some fuel. We did end up with 5 mackerel and had a great time. Will go back and hopefully it's to the gulfstream next time.”
Tim Inman“Like Jaws, but the fisherman win! Lol. Killed them! Made great memories. Thanks Captain Dave!”
Nick Russo“We had a great time with Captain Dave and Tyler. We went out with our 2 young boys when the weather was questionable but Captain Dave and Tyler worked hard to make sure we still had a great time and caught fish! My two kids had a great time! Also, the boat is fantastic. It has a completely enclosed area with A/C, which ended up being important for us with the rain and one person who was sea sick. I highly recommend this charter!”
