Three hundred and change for a month?... would have to be Pesos.
A full year's license cost me $44.80 USD today purchased through Discover Baja.
Here's the fishing regs: (press CTRL and + at same time to enlarge print)
Tight lines, my friend.

No.
Around 44 bucks for a year.
You can buy a license for a day ....a week....year.
Only required if you are fishing from any sort of vessel that floats (kayak to party boat).
I'm a member of the Vagabundos travel club.....get all my needs from them....clear and fast!

Shame on you guys from Baja California Sur who buy your licenses online or from a travel club. The monies for licenses sold in Baja California Sur
stay in the area and help with enforcement and other fisheries issues. I realize it is a bit of a pain to go through the procedure in your local
town, but seems to be worth it if you want to support the local PESCA office.

I agree. But...............try getting a license in San Felipe. I'd rather have a root canal done by DENNIS!

McFez...maybe someone in San Felipe can apply to be responsible to sell licenses there too like I did. It took awhile and lots of insisting, emails
and phone calls, but they finally gave me the concession to sell licenses locally and it's so much easier this way.

What mcfez says, Jim.....plus I feel no shame whatsoever in the amount of money I spend to support Pesca in my area for a year..multiplied times
40-some over the years, plus donations. I've gladly bought 6 separate licenses from Loreto Pesca alone in the last two seasons for my visiting family
and friends. I also have bought licenses from traveling Pesca personel who come to Coyote and Francisco's Equipales to accomodate a lot of us area
fishermen. They do great work and we appreciate them highly, not to mention not having the hassle of driving to Sta. Rosalia. Also supplied my
long-term boat permit at a reasonalbe rate.
A few pesos here and there kind of add up... 
Bill, are you reading this?...recognize this scene in Loreto and that handsome dude walking down the sidewalk?
edit to add per Mitchman's post: Have to visit two separate entities to get the job done...par for the course.
I had dig deep in my pocket for all the licenses I bought in these two offices in one day...so naw, I don't feel bad at all about buying mi amigo,
Randy's, license at Discover Baja, SD.
It was so much easier on both of us...given his condition.

Couple of things.
First, when you buy your license from the website, you can designate the start date of the license, which is very important for the 1 day, 1 week, or
1 month license. But, for the yearly license, you cannot designate the start date, they will designate that for you and it will be the day that they
process your license.
Second thing, and this is for Pompano. In La Paz, I used to get my license at the Pesca office near Soriana off of calle Colossio where I would pay
the lowest government stipulated fee - i.e., no service charge added. Had to first go to some other place to pay for the license, then take the
receipt to the aforementioned pesca office to get the license. This year, the pesca office does not issue licenses in this manner. That is, you have
to go to some other non agency place to pay for and get the license, and they usually charge a hefty fee for the service. The cost of the license
charged by the agency is $44.80 USD. I believe Tailhunter charges just over $70 for the yearly license. There is a kiosk in Soriana that you can get
it from, don't know what the service fee is there and the person manning the kiosk is not honest about the amount of the service fee and I don't know
for sure if the money paid at the kiosk goes to the local Pesca agency.
Any thoughts, comments or advice here, anybody?

About the same thing as we went thru in Loreto last few seasons, but yesterday's purchase of a Baja fishing license at Discover Baja was a total
charge of ..I believe...$52 USD...of which $44.80 was the actual license cost.
Thanks for the info on how things change in Baja and what to expect this season.......kinda used to that! 
Hey...I wouldn't want it any other way!

We in Mulege always had to go to Santa Rosalia to get a fishing license. First, they would send you to a stationary store to buy the forms. Then they
would have you stand in line a second time and then they type, type, type. Then they would send you to another part of town to a hot shack where an
older, slo-o-o-ow woman had to actually type the license that you retain.
The last time I went through that, two years ago, the old woman was talking on the phone...personal call...and ignored me for about ten minutes. I
stood by passively, trying not to look perturbed. I understand that this is the way things are in Mexico.
In the meantime, two different local fishermen came in to have some kind of paperwork processed. She invited them to step in front of me and helped
them all before getting to me. To me, it became clear that she had an attitude and was being blatantly rude. It took over a half hour in that hot
shack to do what should have taken three minutes.
For the last two years I have gotten it online. No muss, no fuss. I do not feel ashamed. If they want the money to stay local, they need to NOT make
it so inconvenient and downright unpleasant, especially when there are much easier alternatives.
It is said, "Mexico teaches you patience". It is taking a lifetime. I guess I am still learning.

Tony..I would have lost it somewhere between the two fisherman interuptees...(my gawd, I think I just invented a new word.)

And that kind of sums up the difference between the Mexicans and the Norteamericanos.
I guess because I spend some time at the office and have gotten to know Martin very well, I get taken care of muy pronto. I agree the system is
somewhat complicated but when I hear complaints about what is happening with an enforcement issue I usually ask where they bought their license. It
is difficult to have it both ways.
PESCA is splitting off from SAGARPA and I think you will see some really significant changes this coming year. They are planning on having more
people in the field and more enforcement.
