For salt water with ocean enhancement stamp you can fish on a boat, kayak, at surf with no limit on rods.
At pier no license required, but two rods, or two nets, or a rod and a net in the water at the same time. You can have with you many rods, as long as only two are in the water.
For fresh water, with the second rod stamp, you can have two rods. Although I am not sure, but I believe no more than two rods in fresh water on kayak, boat, or float tube.
