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:
“We had a blast. On a whim, we called Capt. Dave from breakfast in our hotel around 9 am on a Wednesday in April. He picked up and said he could take us out at 11 am. We were 30 minutes late, he said no problem. We went out for 4 hrs and decided to change to 6 hrs. No problem. Then Bob and Nolan put us on Mackerel almost the whole time. We limited out and the captain and crew were patient with our 7, 9 and 10 year olds as they caught big fish for the first time. Highly recommend and will be back! Thanks Wild Rover III Crew!!!”
John Koontz“Writing this from the boat on the way in, what a wonderful time with my son and Captain Dave and his mate Nolan, caught our limits in King Mackrel, caught a few albacore, Capt Dave had us on the fish and having one hell of a time. Will be back 100%. Would recommend anyone looking for a deep sea fishing charter to book Capt Dave and The Wild Rover III”
Stephen Smith“Capt. Dave and Adam put us right on the fish. Had a great time, kids did also will defiantly have to schedule another trip with them.”
