Right, it says "inland waters" and not "freshwater". But, a look at the definition of "inland waters" shows that bays are not debatable and are safe to use multiple lines and hooks since they are not upstream from the mouths of coastal rivers.

1.53. INLAND WATERS.
Inland waters are all the fresh, brackish and inland saline waters of the state, including lagoons and tidewaters upstream from the mouths of coastal rivers and streams.
