I am too curious about these regulations. I would like to know exactly what the rules are and for what lakes and why? I presently live in South Carolina but am planning to move the family within the next 2 to 3 years to the Hayward area closer to my wife's family. Not being able to troll or drift with multiple rods hurts my current fishing style. Of course I have fished there in the past with one rod and couldn't keep it in the water. But I love trolling and drifting!!
