I am sure this is a stupid question but the "Second Rod Validation" only applies to inland waters such as lakes? So, legally you cant fish two poles at the same time in the ocean?
| Validations and Report Cards | Fee | Description |
| Ocean Enhancement Validation | $4.89 | Allows an angler to fish in ocean waters south of Point Arguello (Santa Barbara County). An Ocean Enhancement Validation is not required when fishing under the authority of a One or Two-Day Sport Fishing License. |
| Second Rod Validation | $13.53 | Allows an angler to fish with two rods or lines in inland waters, except for waters in which only artificial lures or barbless hooks may be used. |
