I think you need to attache $$$ to each lic to get real number of fishermen. If they charged you 80 bucks per fisherman you are not going to register those who might not fish. You will wait till the last minute.
My bet is the number of fishermen is reduced next year.
Also, I bet you get nasty emails from the government next season if you registered this year and declined next year. The fed info will be shared with the states. This is not a well thought out plan.

Until "they" figure out enforcement strategy...I'll take the cautious approach! Unless they are going to watch me for an hour and see who does/doesn't touch a pole, I'm covering anybody that sets foot on my boat.
