The 100 hooks is total. If you have a trotline in the water you have to take those into account. However I want to welcome you to GODS country. I grew up in ET and still think it is the greatest part. Have been thru Round Rock a few times. When you go to the coast of course you have to have a salt water tag now. Didn't use to have to have a salt water tag but the state saw another way to get your money. One of the greatest thrills on the coast is to go gigging for flounder. I think the limit is five. Back when I was doing it there was no limit on them. Good Luck.
