Double pole stamp

[Saltwater Bass]

So basically I have been wasting money on a second pole stamp every year... The is from the Dfg Q A section

Fishing license and second rod stamp
Question: I have a California sport fishing license but did not pay for the second rod stamp. When I am out ocean fishing on my boat, am I only allowed one rod? I thought since it was the ocean I can have two rods out, even if I did not pay for a second rod stamp. (Anonymous)

Answer: The second rod stamp is only required when fishing in freshwater with two poles. In the ocean, any number of poles and lines generally can be used, with some exceptions. For example, fishing for lingcod, rockfish, greenlings or cabezon is limited to one line with no more than two hooks. Also, when fishing in San Francisco Bay or when fishing for salmon north of Pt. Conception, only one rod/line may be used per person.

Yep I always buy 2 rod stamp now. I also have AZ license this year so I can be clear to fish Lake Mojave, Willow Beach, and Lake Mead. CA fishing license with river stamp do not cover those water.
