The FMM's given on planes and driving over the border are not free. It is built into the plane ticket and you pay the approx. $22 at the border when crossing. The FMM is good for 180 days.

Arguments as to what is commercial and what is "sport" is a common argument between the usual commercial fleet and sport fishing groups in Alaska. Generally falling out as different fishing limits for many species if you are on a charter with captain. People on a bare boat charter are treated like the usual sport fisherman on their own boat.
There is no doubt in my mind that charter boats with a captain are commercial enterprises. They may not be commercial fishermen but they should be subject to rules concerning people who run a business. Mexico should have the right to issue regulations, rules, charge fees and enforce these rules.

Where in the heck did you get that idea that the fmm/
Tourist Card is free? The fmm has been inexistance since
5/1/2010 always cost approx $22, before that the
fmt had a similiar price dating back to 12 yrs. or so , fmt was
free before that. Flying the price of the fmm is embedded
in the price of your ticket. There is conflicting info from
Mex IMM, on 1 hand, they say the ONLY place you can
get the New Fishing Visa is in Ensenada, not the border
crossings, at the same time say you can use the
regular 180 day fmm you get at the Border, that there
is no difference, it's Mexico

Original post says a meeting will take place Friday. With several San Diego long range boats fishing this area, have any others had issues? Seems unusual that only one boat would be turned back.
I have no facts, just curious.
