restriction, up to 50 hooks in total may be used legally on devices permitted
under a sport fishing license. Legal devices include: bank poles
and lines, dip nets, throw lines, trot lines, buoyed devices (jug fishing),
gigs, spears, bow and arrow, and bow and arrow device[/B]. No more
than two untagged sport fishing devices (no more than 50 hooks total)
under the angler’s immediate control are allowed. Each legal device
more than two, up to 50 hooks total, must be tagged with the angler’s
name and address. If attached to a tree, the device must be attached
to the main trunk below the water line.


There are a few other places to fish without the 2 pole limit like rivers, lake michigan and a few other lakes but not many.
They way I read it from the 2013=2015 rules and regs. If you are fishing with 3 poles the third one better be tagged and you cant fish with 50 rods
