Fishing license online

gorv - 9-24-2014 at 01:45 PM

Has anybody been able to purchase a license online recently? Last year we accessed the BCS site and were able to buy one, but the link to the fishing license form does not seem to be working. Just wondering if this might be due to disruption in service from Odile or if it has not been operational for awhile. Thanks.

hmmm....just a thought...I have licenses for sale here...I wonder if I filled one out for you, scanned it and printed it out the same colour if it would work for ya?

Thanks for all the info. We have picked one up before at a fish and tackle store in Oceanside, so may do that again if we pass that way. And we can check the website next week and see if it is working. We have used Vagabundos in the past too. So we have options.
Appreciate the offer Shari, but we should be able to work something out. Someone must sell them in La Ventana as well….I will try to check around...

Got some on line last spring. First one was no problem but my credit card not not like many charges for the same amount from Mexico coming in and froze my card.

Please buy the licenses from your area, because the money stays in that area. If you buy online from the Ensenada site, all monies stays up north. We have seen that FONMAR has spent untold dollars this year on tournaments and reinforcement of rules and regulations. The money they receive stays there and goes to that area. Try the site http://serialsepesca.com and they have a license sale there that goes to Baja California Sur.
