I have used the site too with no problems;
Good side, easy to print multiple copies over a period of time, no need to worry about losing it between trips.
Bad side, fees go to Ensenada fishery and not further south where we fish (or that what other nomads have posted many times)

I moved to CO and they made me buy a little rod to make it feel like a real fish

Interesting...the hubby bought his annual license two days ago in CSL from a kiosk machine in the mall for 531 pesos. Then yesterday two of his
buddies bought a day license @ the marina for $14 or $15 usd...he couldn't remember exactly.

Jan 27th
One of the things we have all come to learn/love/hate is the consistent inconsistency .. or "when the wind changes direction its possible, even likely
that the rule will change too .."
As of today here is an update : Depending on WHERE you buy your licenses will determine how much it will cost ..
It used to be 'fairly' simple for reputable charter companies to pre-purchase licenses .. we used to buy licenses in blocks of 100 - handing over USD
$1200-$1500 at a time (depending on peso conversion obviously) to PESCA. Twice our office was broken into and guess what was stolen?
Then, a few yrs ago someone got busted for cloning licenses (yes we know who that was but not going to divulge that) and that made things increasingly
more challenging/difficult to purchase required angler licenses.
So, if 'you' buy your license/s at a kiosk at the marina you must use a credit/debit card. Not always the safest method but the cheapest. If you are
buying more than one, each must be done one-at-a-time .. you cannot purchase more than one each transaction .. so time consuming especially IF there
are others wanting/waiting to do the same ..
You can buy your licenses at the diesel dock - but this has become a money-making transaction based on the convenience associated therewith ...
So our captains will make the trek to the PESCA office for each of our VIP Guests the day before to purchase licenses .. and today, a daily license
was purchased for 136 pesos.
I apologize for any confusion ... <I think the wind is kicking up ...>

they arent MY licenses...they are from Profepa...I am a sub-agent for them and their officer came and gave me the new sheet with new prices which I
must abide by.
I asked him why the online prices were different and said they hadnt updated the website...that is is a big deal to do this and that he was going to
ask his superiors when they were going to make the changes....what I find curious is why if it is a state thing why prices would be different from
town to town? I'm gonna ask him this next.

OK so I found out why the online license is cheaper...here on this sheet I noticed that the federal fee is 110 pesos and that BCS charges a 65 peso
state tax on top of that to expedite the licenses....which makes sense...sort of although it seems pretty expensive to me. The Fonmar people have to
drive around and deliver the licenses and pick up the cash, print up these fee sheets...eat some tacos etc.
Still...I find it much easier to issue the paper license rather than depend on the online site which I have had problems with before, & I would
have to print it out etc...it takes much longer and is more complicated.

The main advantage is that you get a printable/reprintable version of your license.
Could be the license fee increase is to account for theft, corruption or wasted printed documents, distribution and all the overhead
associated with having license brokers all over Mexico. |
The 'tax' is significant for day and week licenses.
The online function process is much more 'greener' for all the eco-friendly folks in baja.
Instead of fighting it, operators should be pushing for a better website, the ability to pre-charge your bookings with license fees should make thing
easier.

I dont think anyone is fighting the online licenses. I would be happy if all the fishing clients arrived with their own license...but they dont. Plus
I do like the idea of that extra $5 going towards better enforcement in our area instead of the Mexico City bureaucracy.
Rural guide outfitter lobbied for years to be able to supply fishing permits locally and now we can....for a price. So by all means fishers...get your
license any way you want...but get it.
Now should I announce that those ever so popular biosphere bracelet permits are now 54 pesos....gone up 4 pesos! and what about those gas
prices...sheesh.

Fishing licenses need to be accessible in central locations, not only in the hands of rural guide outfitters. Pemex's XOXO's are a perfect place,
they are centrally located, open 24 hours and have credit card machines.(ie telcel and movistar)
Airport kiosk's can handle the fly in traffic. They should sell the licenses with the FMM also. easy cheesy.
As for the $60 pesos that go to the 'local' enforcement... local enforcement could lobby for a redirect check box on line and at local sales kiosks
on where the buyer would like this $60 pesos to be distributed. That would expose the local areas to more revenue.
Biosphere permits and bracelets should fall under the same process, the concept of 'biosphere bracelets' and fishing licenses is another Mexican 'over
think'. Simplify the damn thing by combining the two. Your license should permit you access to fish and boat all biospheres. jack up the price,
reduce the cost and make a little scratch.

Aguachico was right on with his recommendation of using this site to get your annual license; easy, straight-forward in my experience, and allows me
to print many copies for different uses (personal in Baja, saving $ when jumping on an SD party boat, showing when checked on a private boat at the
Nados), even have a copy on the iPhone for "immediate verification". Hope it works for you too.

Not positive that I can head for Baja yet, but I like positive thinking so here's my input on license costs as of 2/13/2013.
...today I bought an Un Ano (One Year) fishing license at Discover Baja, San Diego for $44.80 USD, which is $569.03 Mexican Pesos.
Note: No license required for surf fishing. 
Easy one-stop shopping at Discover Baja for necessary Baja papers makes me a happy camper. Got it laminated next door at Postal Annex. 
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

the daze of getting down south fairly cheaply and then spreading $ around might be gone forever. We nailed some big a s s fish today and it was the
most beautiful day of the last 6. put a price on that..... |
10.61P/liter
x 3.785 liter/gal divided by 12.7 p/$US = $3.16/ gal V $4.17 todays average price in San diego
