Ga. allows as many poles as you want on most lakes. Public Fishing Areas which you must have a Management area stamp to fish only allow 2. Private lakes set their own limit. How many are allowed in your state?

Pa.'s code is written as such (Section 63)
Quote:
It is unlawful to fish for game fish with more than two lines of any description, whether fished by rod or by hand, at one time except while ice fishing in accordance with § 63.10 (relating to ice fishing). No more than three hooks may be attached to line used in fishing for game fish. Rods, lines and hooks shall be under the immediate control of the person using them. A fishing device shall be deemed to be under the immediate control of the person using it if, when the terminal device (hook, bait or lure) is taken by a fish, the person using the device has direct control over it and it is not connected at that point to a casting or depth placement aid such as a casting boat or downrigger. Casting or depth placement aids such as downriggers or small remote controlled boats are not prohibited by this chapter.
I think Missouri is 3 poles per person at once.
In Texas the only limits are placed on hooks. You are not allowed to use more than 100 hooks at one time including your poles, trot lines, jug lines, etc. Also trot lines can not have more than 50 hooks on one line.
Unlimited in Va.
unlimited number of poles and hooks per pole in NC.
Ohio I believe is a max of 2 lines per person and 3 hooks per line. There is some other rule about jug fishing too. Like you have to be within so many feet of your jugs. I'll have to look into that one.
In Illinois, we are only allowed to use 3 poles when trolling. I believe you can have an unlimited number of ploes if you are anchored. There are a lot of lakes including the one I live on that has a 2 pole limit. I believe there is a 50 hook limit on trotlines, bank poles, and jugs and they must have identification on them.
I can only handle one at a time because i am so good :D
Now something needs to be said about this comment but I'm having a brain hemorage trying to think of something. "I wish I were that good!" Nah, then I'd have a lot of poles going to waste. Oh well, someone help me out here. ;)Quote:
