Saltwater License - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

To summarize what others said,

If where you fish (kayak, boat, float tube, shore, some docks, private pier) that requires a fishing license, there is no limit to how many rods you can use at the same time.

If no license is required (public pier, jetty) then only two rods or two hoop nets, or a rod and a hoop net in the water at the same time.

2nd rod stamp is for fresh water only.

For saltwater fishing, you need the Ocean Enhancement stamp in addition to the fishing license.

All of these apply to 16 years and older. For lobster hunting, everyone needs a lobster card.

Not too familiar to the rockfish regulations, so I leave that one alone.
