This is not good news to anyone who bow fish for carp ....... I'm willing to bet we see a closure on bowfishing in the near future .

I just read over the link. I assume, based on the information given, it would still be illegal to set a line out for carp with plant bait and then cast with another rod?

Probably not I wouldn't recommend it .

I can see some having an issue not knowing or trying to set up 3 rods when the carp are not around or using minnows.

I like the idea but some will try and use 3 on other fish species. Claim they didn't know lol .

It would have its own time and place for sure .

I figured. I do see the same problem you suggest.

I have never fished for carp. I wonder if those who do can say if this will be useful or not? I do see most carp fisherman online in other places using at least 2 or 3 rods.

Why do you say that? I don't see any regulation changes for bow fishing....or am I missing something?

Just asking for trouble and abuse of the regs, what a stupid move.

How do you figure? Or should I say "assume". I've never targeted carp, but after reading the article, my first thought was, "maybe I'll throw a corn rod out this spring while I'm targeting wallies".

Yes as the only time you're allowed to fish multiple lines (when not ice fishing or trolling from a boat in certain waters) is if you're carp fishing, as soon as you start using a 2nd rod that doesn't have a plant-based bait on it, you're breaking the conditions that need to be met to be considered legally carp fishing with multiple lines.
