I saw a comment on a posted report from yesterday (5/21) stating that there is a regulation on the number of rods that can be used by one angler on a boat. Is it really two rods per angler? I guess if you're fishing more than that, you need a commerical license. Is that the thinking behind this reg?

I asked because I remember last year the DEC guys approached my boat and took specific note of the number of rods that I had on board. I was bluefishing earlier in the day and had two rods for chunking/live-linging, a rod for snagging bunker and two rods for fluking (I only fluke with one rod, but have a backup). I figured they were interested for a reason, but didn't cite me for anything.
Good Point
Striper77 - good point...where do you draw the line. If you have one rod with 7 hooks, why would that not be a violation, or is it? You could conceivably pick up 7 fish at once.
