how many rods can you use on a boat?

[ken jan]

Hey all I wanted to ask if anyone knew the regs. on how many rods, out at once, per person, can be used on a boat/kayak in fresh water and salt water. In California you can buy a second rod stamp in fresh water but you only can use one rod on a boat in the ocean.
I've been trolling on my yak with two rods out on lakes and ocean. Don't want to get fined if its illegal:eek:

Let's see.....

3 stacked on each of two downriggers , that makes 6

3 flatlines out the back ........that makes 9

2 dipsy divers, that makes 11

2 planer boards, that makes a lucky 13

The answer is........ as many as you want.

Delaware river the limit is 3 either in a boat or on shore.

hey David, how's your new kayak running? Have you gotten out yet!!

[dboyd101]

Yes! I got out one night last week. Was SOOO nice to get out there. I went for a spin around the north side of Monksville just to get a good feel for it. I stopped back at the car after I had the hang of it (it was my first time in a kayak ever, so I didn't know what to expect) and got my rod out for some practice casting in the seated position. I'll be installing the anchor trolley tonight so I don't get whipped around too much by the wind. So much fun. I have Friday off so I am going to hit something up in hopes of some fish.

Thanks for asking! :)

Nice!
sounds like fun. Never fished Monksville. Been having a lot of luck on the crappie trolling grubs.
