I know a lot of creel fishermen from around our part of the country and many of them simply could not afford to put large markers with radar reflectors and lights on the ends of every fleet of creels they have. Especially the smaller guys who only have a few creels in each fleet, they would need to spend thousands on the all of the equipment required and most are already extremly marginal and cannot afford this kind of investment. They can barely maintain their boats and feed their families as it is and invest in the curent equipment. Where we live dhan bouys and radar refelctors are quickly destroyed by the gales and the weather in the winter months so you would be constantly replacing them. You need to see it from both sides.
