We were on the 7/11 Wonder cruise, and my DH & I went on the bottom fishing excursion. You don't need a license--all you have to do is book your excursion and the captain takes care of everything. We heard that it was hard to book the excursion, so we booked ours at 8 a.m. on our 60 day mark, and I'm glad we did. When we were on CC they had one excursion in the morning and one in the afternoon--we went at 9 a.m. and got back promptly at noon. There were 7 guests on our boat (the maximum)--2 of them were children around 7-10 years old. We caught beautiful fish, and we enjoyed the excursion a lot--it was also great seeing the Wonder from the fishing excursion. The boat was a 32' open boat with a T-top that provided some shade. We do a lot of fishing in the Chesapeak Bay--in fact, we went fishing today, had fresh fish for dinner. It was really a neat experience for us to fish in the beautiful, clear water off CC. When you drop your line, you can watch your bait go down, and when you catch a fish you see it before it gets to the top of the water. The captain and mate took good care of us. They were very pleasant, and they provide rods and reels (spinning reels), they put your bait on and took your fish of if you wanted them to, and they replace rigs if yours gets lost. They also had plenty of soft drinks and bottled water for all of us. If you like to fish, I highly recommend the excursion--it's catch and release bottom fishing--and we felt that it was well worth the $110 per person.
