Just a reminder - Make sure you and everyone on board has their fishing license with them while fishing from a boat. If anyone is fishing, all persons
on board need a lic. They are doing spot checks near Mulege. Bajatripper - 11-20-2011 at 01:58 PM
For those of us not in the know, perhaps you could give us some info on how/where to acquire a fishing license and its cost.DianaT - 11-20-2011 at 02:02 PM

Click on the American flag for English, but the prices shown will still be in pesos.woody with a view - 11-20-2011 at 02:24 PM
thanks, Diana!
i thought everyone knew the rules! it is a SMALL price to pay for the chance to experience fishing like the US had 50 years ago. we buy ours every
October and juggle the trip dates so we can get 2 trips out of each license....Russ - 11-20-2011 at 02:37 PM
They checked a couple of boats from Chivato today and spent a long time with the shrimper anchored out front.
A whale was just reported in the bay off shore from the air strip. I'm looking for it but so far no luck.UnoMas - 11-20-2011 at 02:38 PM
Just bought mine here on the East Cape Friday $541mp and with the current exchange works out to about $40.00usd. Cheap for what you get!BajaBlanca - 11-20-2011 at 03:42 PM

To make it very clear....we have a MFL.

Love it, Day of the Dead! No license , no fish! HANG EM HIGH, but evidently the //autoridades are checkin!! No Problema! Have a Fishing license
if fishing from a panga! Let's hope there's more warm water fishing into diciembre! Tioncampion - 11-20-2011 at 06:34 PM
Got checked a couple weeks ago while anchored in San Basilio. Very courteous and no problems. Seems a long way from Loreto when they tell us they
have no gas to patrol the illegal fishing going on just off shore.larryC - 11-21-2011 at 08:05 AM
I got checked while driving out of Auga Verde while towing a boat. Not sure what they would have done had we not had licenses since we were not in the
water at the time and didn't have any fish. They told us they could confiscate the boat and equipment. They were very courteous, and professional. I
got the impression the stop was more informational than confrontational.

the fine for not having a license is 20-30,000 pesos levied against the ownder of the boat....and they can confiscate boat and/or gear.
anyone heading our way, I sell fishing licenses here in Asuncion as well.tripledigitken - 11-21-2011 at 09:04 AM
