great trip…fee details missing
1/2 Day Trip weekdays AM on April 16, 20262 adults

we had a really good experience on this excursion; however, a few details were missing until we arrived. count on an additional hundred to rent equipment, bring or purchase snacks, pay to have fish cleaned and buy a license. The crew was wonderful, very accommodating and overall was a really good half day.
