BCS FISHING LICENSE

Saw on another site that on line fishing licenses are not good in BCS due to a special add on "marina" fee. True??

You may have been misinformed by someone who was referring to the special permit that is needed in the biospheres(Loreto and Bahia Asuncion & maybe other places in BCS). Regular Mexican fishing licenses are needed in BCS.

From an earlier post:
Fishing licenses for Baja Sur
Hola Amigos, The following appeared in the May 27th issue of Western Outdoor News: "And before you come down if you're anywhere in the state of Baja Sur, don't buy your license online. Baja Sur is the only state in Mexico where a special Marina Resources Fund (FORMA) is set up. This special "pool of funds" allows the licensing money to stay within the state for resource management and funding marine law enforcement, such as gas for patrols. Every area has licenses available locally, usually through your outfitter, so please consider this option when you can." Tight lines.

I have used an online license in BCS with no problems for a couple of years.
