The reason you don't see any enforcement is that there isn't a law to enforce yet. Once they implement the law DNR will be looking to enforce it.
I do not have a problem with the license IF the money goes where it should. Here in SC the license money goes to DNR, not a general fund for the politicians to steal, I mean use. DNR uses the money on enforcement (amongst other things) and that is a good thing. Then you are paying for management of a resource instead of the "privelege" of wetting a line.
