I am sure this is a stupid question but the "Second Rod Validation" only applies to inland waters such as lakes? So, legally you cant fish two poles at the same time in the ocean?
Validations and Report Cards | Fee | Description |
Ocean Enhancement Validation | $4.89 | Allows an angler to fish in ocean waters south of Point Arguello (Santa Barbara County). An Ocean Enhancement Validation is not required when fishing under the authority of a One or Two-Day Sport Fishing License. |
Second Rod Validation | $13.53 | Allows an angler to fish with two rods or lines in inland waters, except for waters in which only artificial lures or barbless hooks may be used. |
