I don't read the rules the way that you have interpreted them. The rule, you quoted, stated:
"When fishing with a setline, you must
be within 100 yards of the surface or the
bank of water you’re fishing from."
I see no reference to distance from the set line, just distance from the water, where the setline is located. I think one is within the law even if they are miles away from the setline as long as they are "... within 100 yards of the surface or the bank of water you're fishing from."
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong (it wouldn't be the first and likely not the last time).
