How many poles do you fish with at one time?

[mighty]

Just a question, how many poles do yall fish with at a time?

State some pro & Cons please?

[Charger]

I use 3 on the back of the boat, and dad uses 3 on the front. Only con is when you hook 2-3 at the same time:D Sure is fun !

Here in Wisconsin the law only allows three hooks in the water at one time,but most of the time I shore fish so I only have two rods out at one time anyways.

Mighty, I use 3 or 4 pending on the wind if the wind isnt blowing 100 miles an hour I will go for 4 but if I find I am having a hard time following the bite with the wind & all i will move down to 3 or maybe even 2 ( I hate missing those bites):D

Usually three..sometimes two.

[Crappie Reaper]

sometimes as many as eight to locate, but it sure makes for one heck of a scramble when you happen to mosey through the middle of a school of suspended fish.

I only fish with one, but think I'll try some trolling, so I'll be useing 3 then.

One or two. Two is the maximum allowed here in Ohio. - Roberta

I use 4 most of the time, and up to as many as 8 if I am having a hard time locating fish. There is no law limits here in Alabama, and hope it stays that way. There are, however, a few lakes that only allow 3.

I fish with 2 or 3 depending on conditions and the type of fishing I am doing. Here in South Carolina if you are fishing from shore you can only use 2 but ina boat you can use as many as you can put in the water. I don't know why but that is the law.
