Kgryfon...I have found that lots of boat captains arent aware of many of the fishing regulations and permits required. In the old days enforcement was extremely rare but now the fisheries department is getting better organized and have many more agents checking.

In Mexico, being ignorant of the laws still makes you guilty....they say visitors should research these types of laws and be aware of them. Often, the first offense gets a warning but if your boat captain repeatedly ignores the laws, you may well get busted.

It is also sometimes a matter of economics too...we have had to turn down clients on occasion who didnt have licenses...but they just go on to the next charter operator who takes the risk to take them out anyway...to make a buck...luckily that doesn't happen anymore as we now sell licenses here.

Sometimes clients will choose a charter captain who they know will let them keep more fish than the legal limit too...luckily due to the local sales of licenses, there is more local enforcement to try to address these unfair practises.

In my experience:

You can stipulate the start date of your Mexican fishing license if the licence is for less than one year. If you are getting a one year license, they ignore your request for a specific start date and simply issue the license with a start date of the actual issue date. Happened to me this year. I called and asked for an explanation and they asserted and stipulated what I wrote herein above.

My experience too.

Get my license in Carlsbad. If I get it for one year, it's dated the day I pick up the license.

Less than a year, any date I want.

My wife and I used to buy our yearly Mexican licenses from either the Vagabundos or at the tourist office in Ensenada, across from the Corona Hotel on the embarcadero, NO MAS! I found out that if my wife and I purchase our licenses in Bahia Asuncion from Shari, the monies will go directly back to the biosphere. That's what we're doing from now on.



Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......
