I agree $20 for 1 day is bad! But what the DNR used to do was target fishermen - set up on a ramp early in the morning and check launch stickers and sell them to everyone that didn't have them - then they would be gone by noon when the pleasure boaters would show up. Houseboats didn't have them . . . now everybody pays! If the DNR is on the water or shore they will be looking for that permit on your boat.
