I've been there a couple time. People generally are good.

Only time I hate the place is when bunch of old local are there. THey seem to just cast over you using 12" rod (even though no tangle to me), but it will make it really difficult for me to wind in and cast out again, because I will end up tangle his line.
One other time, an old fisho there had 4 hand line with in. He just insert himself between fisho and swirl and threw out the line far. No tangle, once once he cast out, he grab another handline and do the same @ different part of fishing platform. When others on the platform not sick of him and pack up and left, he jsut pull his line in and then occupied the whole platform with his 4+ hand line.......And sometimes he will cast different direction over other people's line..... which is rediculous....

Well, i guess sometimes you need to talk to them in a way that let them know you are not happy with this..
