This does not apply directly, but I took my 18' Starcraft to Sebring,fl. At Christmas time a few yrs back. No limit on rods in fl. Gf, 16 yr old daughte n myself ran 12 rods on a local lake. Small dipseys n big boards. We caught bluegills, largemouth, specs(crappies) n about 20 chain pickerel, which I had never caught before even though I used to live in fl. Experiment! You might be surprised by the results. Good luck and please post how you did after you get back!
