Am I allowed to have 3 rods on my float tube all tied up and ready to go, even though I am only using one of them? Does this count as using a third rod, which will get me a ticket? I'm thinking about making a 3 rod holder, and was wondering in advance..

ive took out 3 rods, i think as long as all 3 arnt in the water at the same time you should be good... but dont take my word for it, i know if you licence has only one rod allowed you can have 2 as long as the second one wasnt in the water at the same time.... so it should be the same right

Just as long as the lines aren't in the water, you're cool. Some guys carry a bunch on their kicks.

I carry 4 with me usually.

I'm think you can have as many as you want. I carry 4 all the time. I think the law pertains to how many you can actually fish with at one time. One of the DFG experts here will hopefully fill us in on this.

I know EXACTLY how you feel Z. I left work early two days in a row so I could be there when UPS drove up. It's hard on a guy. Hope it gets there as you read this Peace Ron

I don't see any registration numbers on the tube there Bako might wanna check your regulation on anything with a motor attached. Looks like your breaking the law.

Found what i was looking for


Before you can sail the California waterways in your new boat or vessel, you'll need to register it through the California Department of Motor Vehicles. DMV law requires that all sailboats more than eight feet long and powerboats of any length be registered unless they are already documented through the U.S. Coast Guard.If you bring a boat into California to be primarily used here, the DMV requires that you register that vessel before you put it in the water and within 120 days.
