how many poles

so fishing in the ocean. how many poles are allowed to be used. i thought  it was one but ive read in reports that some are using two.

Depends on what you are fishing for.

See below post for specifics!

Depends on the species....in ocean waters halibut and WSB would be however many you can handle.  Salmon, rockfish/lingcod specify one rod. 

If you read a report with multiple rods out the target species was likey halibut. 

thanks, that cleared things up

I usually don't use poles.  I do however go out with 2 to 4 rods depending on the target species

       If targeting WSB / Halibut,   Once you boat a rockfish / ling/Salmon etc,,,  you must then use only one rod...     if I read it correctly.

Reminds me of a joke:

Does anybody know the difference between a pole and a rod?

About 200 dollars!

Technically if you had two rods out when you landed it then it should go back....whatever you decide to do is up to you   

And only 1 rod in the bay, correct?

yup

2 rods east of the carqeniz bridge& rivers n lakes  with proper stamp

I thought the dude was asking about how many rods we take with us, not how many we fish with at a time...Dur dur dur.
