Thread: How many allowed????

only 3 in Indiana I have fished 18 in Kentucky and florida at least you don t use as much bait

Transplant from Georgia,moved here 8wks ago.Now have house for sale heading to Lafayette.COLD.Have enough rods to last a life time only using 3.

only 2 in Ohio...
only need One!

I talked to the State about this a few years ago. Their answer was, they were afraid people would catch to many fish if they were aloud to use more poles. Crap answer if you ask me.

fished a lake in florida 2 winters ago guy had a pontoon boat and 36 pole holders he just slow trolled with 16 foot crappie poles and jigs with small minnows which they only sell by quarter lb increments since you go through 3 dozen on every pass but he never had bites on to many poles at one time to handle so I don t think you will catch too many fish

I can only cast one rod at a time.

Two poles is about my limit, personally. I get all out of whack trying to add a third one in. I can't imagine trying to keep a watch over more than that. Sometimes two poles is too much like work. I enjoy fishing, not working when I'm on the lake.

so you dont want to use more poles to catch more fish? lol why then would you want to use more poles? it is a crap answer though, because there is a limit on crappie anyhow. wouldnt make a difference if you limited with one pole or fifty.


the limit is only 25. if you cant get it done with three poles, you better go back to carp fishing.
