450 watermen x $400/day = $180,000
450 helpers x $150/day = $67,500
Total $247,500
$247,500 total divided by 1,500 pots = $165/ghost pot
If we could get DNR to put a bounty of $165/pot; everyone would be buying downscan sonar and getting in on the action.
Hell, I can just see the poachers out on the bay at night pulling each others good pots (with buoy markers) and turning them in  .

I wonder how many of those guys got one pot then called it a day? And hired 1 illegal to help him for $50!
