Sorry if this has been answered but I couldn't find it here or in the reg book.
How many rods am I legally aloud at one time? I'm not looking to go crazy but just want to know if I can use 2 set lines and throw a a third Rod while waiting?
Thanks!

Is that in Boca Grande, or throughout the state. If it's State law, please cite the statute
I've been fishing in this, my home state for well over 3 decades, and was a member of B.A.S.S. when I was younger (for what it's worth,) and I know I didn't pull that figure out of my *** so I must've come across it sometime in the past.
However, after a brief online search of the state regs I could not find it. I suppose it is possible they've changed this portion of the law in the past 20 some odd years or perhaps I confused it with something else (though I doubt that.)

I gave up jetty fishing years ago because 90% of the people out there would have to spread 10 rods a piece all over the place.

Dang, I troll 7 rods solo all the time.....
Thanks again!!!
Boca Grande Pass Regulations:
During the months of April, May and June, no more than three fishing lines may be deployed from a vessel at any one time.
I have always wondered if that regulation is still hiding on the books somewhere.
I have been fishing for mackerel on that same bridge in the past few years and a few of the old line Latino's will space out three rods to take up 30 feet of rail space. Most often they are not actually fishing with two of their three rods. In other words, two of their rods are just leaning against the railing sometimes without even a line in the water. Obviously this tactic is just a ploy to keep other fisherman away; if you set up just to the left or right of one of their unattended rods they sometimes get upset. Before the advent of cell phones they would actually pull knives and threaten you to leave, but the phones seem to have brought some civility to this bridge.... at least in the daylight hours. However, i have been warned by a couple of regulars that the Rickenbacker can still be a dangerous place late at night when most of the fisherman are drinking alcohol heavily.
Absolutely not true and never was true.
How many trolling lines do you think we fish down here on the SE coast? I fish 7 if I'm solo and maybe 9 if I have a crew
Thanks for all of the responses. I'm down here on vacation for a month and just don't want to get a ticket. I was thinking of surf fishing with 2 set rods and casting a third.
Thanks again!!!
