I asked this question of the EA
I was wondering if when I am fishing 2 rods (baited and hooked) and
have a marker float rod aswell ( just a weight aand a float to mark
position, do I need to have two ea licences.
I am only using 2 rods to fish with, the third is purely a marker,
sometimes a fourth is used for Spodding, these are not fishing rods and
lines but just feeding and marking tools, do they require a second
licence.
I plan to use these tactics on a commercial fishery next month and need
to know how many licenses to buy.
Thanks

here is the reply from the EA
Dear Mr Last
Thank you for your e-mail about fishing. Your method for fishing is
fine, as long as there are no hooks at the end of the lines you are
using as a marker float or spodding with. If you have further questions
please feel free to contact our Fisheries Administration and Support
Team on 01925 542400 .
Kind regards and good luck fishing
