how many rods can you use on a boat?

[ken jan]

Hey all I wanted to ask if anyone knew the regs. on how many rods, out at once, per person, can be used on a boat/kayak in fresh water and salt water. In California you can buy a second rod stamp in fresh water but you only can use one rod on a boat in the ocean.
I've been trolling on my yak with two rods out on lakes and ocean. Don't want to get fined if its illegal
