ecmilley Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 thought it was 2, but watching charlie ray out of st.catherines using 4 lines in the water, while he was mentioning how tough it was to be by himself handling 4 rods, guess the camersmans two were in use for the show, hope he got to fight a couple fish
BillM Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 It is 2... Guys on shows always take the 2 from the cameraman, lol!

rock34 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Posted April 8, 2013 Yeah Ill often run 8 rods with 4 guys and in order to do that at least 2 guys need to be very experienced. Its always fun you get more hits then guys....
Old Ironmaker Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Is it only the great lakes for 2 lines trolling? Florida you can fish 2 lines off a pier. Saw a fellow Canuck pack up and forget his second setup, yes we told him.
kickingfrog Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) For the most part it is 2 lines from a boat in some parts of the GLs. So you can't shore fish with 2. Edited April 9, 2013 by kickingfrog
Old Ironmaker Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 I thought it was 2 lines per angler trolling only, not still fishing, drifting. Am I wrong? I need to look at regs closer.
kickingfrog Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Don't know all the exception but in parts of Lake Huron, 2 lines are allowed while trolling. In parts of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario the regs say 2 lines from a boat in open water. Someone looking to fish those areas may want to double check for themselves and/or check with the MNR.
BillM Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 I thought it was 2 lines per angler trolling only, not still fishing, drifting. Am I wrong? I need to look at regs closer. 2 lines from a boat in open water in zone 20 for Lake O.. You don't have to be trolling.
highdrifter Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Interesting. How far from shore would you need to be to be considered in open water though? Like if I was to say, troll 2 lines from a canoe just off shore.. would that be allowed?
BillM Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Interesting. How far from shore would you need to be to be considered in open water though? Like if I was to say, troll 2 lines from a canoe just off shore.. would that be allowed? Sure, why not? As long as you are fishing from a boat you're golden. Still can only use one line when fishing from shore/pier etc. Edited April 10, 2013 by BillM
Rich Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Yep as long as you're in a boat, you can be sitting right next to the dock and run two lines. Sure comes in handy for perch fishing having that extra rod sometimes! I was thinking this year in dover i will bring my inflatable for the perch derby, that way I can run a catfish line off one side of the boat all day while I'm slamming perch on the other one! Just pay attention to exceptions because the inner bay of long point bay and other great lakes bays are excepted from the rule.
gaspumper Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 I don't know about sitting beside the dock with two lines...... It says two lines may be used when angling from a boat IN OPEN WATER.
BillM Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 I guess it will be up to the CO what he determines 'open water'. But yeah, as long as you aren't attached to the dock in any way, I don't see the issue. Nothing says you need to be a certain distance from shore.
buick14 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 Interesting. How far from shore would you need to be to be considered in open water though? Like if I was to say, troll 2 lines from a canoe just off shore.. would that be allowed? Lol you're jonsing eh? Bro lakeside 2 lines. You could anchor 1 foot infront of Me and as long as you're not touching shore, you could run 2 lines...awesome eh? But ya it doesn't apply to frenchmans bay itself etc
