The only feedback was a little bit of nickel/diming: First, the fishing license was not included, which we knew- however the price was never very clear (16,18,20$? Actually said both 16 and 18 on the confirmation?) We paid 95 for 3 license, 1 live bait fee (Also expected) and 2 burrito (guy selling license selling them for a lady sitting there) so no idea what $ was what!
