Fishhound, which part of the guidebook says this? Is it where it says "you must be within 100 yards of the surface or the bank of water you’re fishing from"? If so, my understanding of this reg means that my setline must be 100 yards or less from the bank. I don't think it means I must be within 100 yards of the setline at all times. I figure that reg about the "setline must also have a legible tag attached to it that includes your name, address and setline permit number" would inform any officer who the setline belongs to.
I was also thinking about using a setline, so I have been reading and re-reading the regs to make sure I am not in violation, etc.
