Fishing liscense
My 14 year old son and I are going to cruise down the western coast of Baja in June. I have an annual fishing liscense. Does my son need one also?
When I purchased mine last year the Acuacultura y Pesca office in Ensenada said my boy didn't need one due to young age. Does my barco need one? Do my
two dingys on my barco also need one?

You can buy licenses at this website - pretty easy to follow - in Spanish or English, just click on the flag to change. With this site the information
is saved so you can reprint the document if needed - you may also pick a start date if buying in advance. Jim

Thanks Jim.
My research since my first post shows that the requirement for a fishing permit FOR THE BOAT (and dingy and liferaft if containing even a fishook) was
lifted in 2008.
However, all sites say that everyone on board must have a fishing liscense NO MATTER WHAT AGE -- even an infant, if the boat is engaged in fishing.
This is contrary to what the office in Ensenada told me Re: my younger son not needing one. I will go to the Ensenada office Monday and pose the same
question to them again... .

Personally I would just get the license for everyone (kids included) on board. It's pretty clear in the regulations. In Ensenada they might tell you
again that you don't need it, but if you happen to get checked out on the water the officials aren't really going to care what the guy in Ensenada
said.

Be careful Russ. Bajatravelergeorge says u must get CONFIRMATION, for a fishing license; not conformation for a fishing liscense... .

And to think I always thought they were "permits". Shows how little I know.

The requirement that was dropped in 2008 was the boat permit that used to be required to operate a boat in Mx waters. It had nothing to do with
fishing. Fishing licenses are still required for all on board regardless of age.
