Fishing License Questions
Hey guys. Might seem like a stupid question, but here goes. I'm trying to buy a license on the Best Baja Fishing site. It says a license for a month
is almost $400. This is pesos, right? Just making sure.
Also, I'll be fishing from shore and from a small 17' boat with an outboard. Which Fishing Zone does my license need to be for?
Thanks Guys!

Fishing from shore is free. Licences are available locally in many places and necessary for fishing from a boat, where are you going?.....dt

We're driving from California to Los Frailes. Plans are to stop at Campo Rene and fish Estero Coyote and Mag Bay, but a firm itinerary hasn't been set
yet.

I have used this site - fairly easy understand and you can print out the license right on line. Jim

Finding licenses locally is not always easy, get your license on line before you go

I too am wondering which zone to select. The Federal zone or the Pacific zone?

MaxStar - if you go to campo rene, be sure and pay us a visit - continue past campo rene, go thru punta abreojos, turn right at a street called miguel
dominguez and follow ten miles of salt flats straight into la bocana.
as you are getting close to town, you will see the white 2 story bldg at the north end of town. ask anyone for les y blanca or ask for calle erizo -
that is us at our B & B. we wd love to meet you !! come have a beverage or 2 with us !!

the only problem with the online license purchase is the place is located in Baja California Norte and the monies submitted go to the Ensenada
fishery. So I still choose to buy my license locally and the money stays in my area.

Thank you for making the point and post Pescador ... the lament heard many times from local authorities in CSL and SJD ... this has caused boats to
be turned back for licenses not having the local stamp on it .. have posted about this numerous times and was even accused of trying to get $
unecessarily out of visitors .. but es verdad ... perhaps thats why they were turned back - quien sabe?
For visitors who will fish at various locations along the peninsula , do recommend the site suggested by mulegejim and willyairstream.

interesting point about areas.
have you ever bought license from the purported conapesca office in san diego? http://www.conapescasandiego.org
perhaps call them to get all your answers. perhaps they are best mail order license for gringos as they use US address.
anybody ever bought from the sd office??

I have purchased my Mex lic. at the Conapesca office in SD. Very easy, one stop shopping, and no surcharges like some of the tackle shops do. I've
also purchased my license at the above linked website as others have mentioned. Both work just fine as far as I'm concerned.

We always wait and get ours as we pass through Ensenada From the Secretery of tourism. Its on the main drag if you are going the scenic route by the
Marina you dont have to turn off any where Its on the left side of the road across from the Hotel carona tell them where you will be fishing and they
will know what to do. In and out in 5 minutes there is a $$$ exchange across the street a block up that we also stop at.
here's a link to a map showing where its at.
click on the map it gets bigger

I have been told in San Felipe to get them at the "Capitain of the Port' located in the Port. The tourist office told me they do not sell them. This
information is a couple of years old. So it may have changed.
The main problem was the lack of office hours for the Port office.

Go on line and get the license. One can ask for overnight mailing. I get all my needs from info@vagabundos.com
The have insurance too .
The fishing license is $42.00 for one year.
Boat registration is no longer required.
Shore fishing ....no license required.
San Felipe to get them at the "Capitain of the Port' located in the Port. This is still true BUT: you best be able to speak Spanish 110 % and have
patience to wait around till someone there shows up to handle the transaction. Days sometimes 
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

if you are taking your boat or going on a panga out in any marine parks or biosphere reserves (lke campo rene estuary) you will also need a day permit
which is 50 pesos a day and you get a little paper bracelet...maybe campo rene or Blanca has them now...there is an officer who checks boats now.
