Mexican Fishing License
Just got annual licenses for me and the boys online, with the current price of the peso they were under $40 each. Hope my car insurance does just as
well!

When you buy them online, the monies go to Ensenada instead of to the area where you are hanging out. I know it is convenient and easy, but each
little Conapesca office is really struggling to enforce violations and do what they can do, so it hurts them when Ensenada gets the monies.

Loss? Loss? You can lose your passport, platinum Visa plastic, checkbook, truck keys but not your fishing license! Yikes!

I agree with Woody that it is convenient to have a back up copy on my computer. Sometimes it is about me, lol.

Perhaps you can just scan the locally-obtained license on your printer/scanner and keep a copy on a thumb drive for future use. Lots of the Mexican
internet shops can also do this for you for a few pesos.

Hola Pescador,
GREAT POINT ! THANK YOU !
every year, i would buy my insurance and fishing license from vagabundos ( one stop shopping ). i never realized that it matters where i buy my
license.
i know they are readily available in los barriles from any of the major hotels, i believe from the port captain and i do know from the pharmacy in the
bancomer shopping center as i bought one for my son for his one week visit in 2010.
in the future, i will buy mine in los barriles.
thanks again,
BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Question
Rumor has it.......
If you are caught without a license then the boat, motor and all gear are confiscated by the feds....
True?
Even if you are a guest on a boat.
That is the story that is passed around our campfire, we always make sure to have current licenses.
Last time I heard, a non-licensed guy here in California paid a fine of about $800 (US)

I know of two times that did happen, but I have also seen them tell the captain that next time they would confiscate the boat. For awhile, in our
area, the marinos or navy were checking every boat for proper papers and a couple of times they followed the people back into the marina to get the
papers.

tell ya what...whoever buys their fishing license from me here in Asuncion, I will scan it and save it or email the copy to you to have on your files
so if you forget it, you will have a copy!
dont forget, if you dont have a license and get caught, the fine goes to the boat owner and yes they can confiscate all the fishing gear and boat if
they are in a nasty mood...or you are belligerent!

I never realized I needed a fishing license in Mexico. No boat captain has ever said a word, either. Good to know - $40 is for an annual license?

Just looked this up, and saw a few more interesting things:
"Effective January 2008, boat fishing permits are no longer required for vessels practicing sportfishing in Mexican waters" So, does this mean if you
are on a charter you don't need a license?
"Fish caught under a sportfishing license may not be filletted aboard the vessel from which it was caught" My captain has always cleaned and
filletted the fish on the boat (not in the area where we were actually fishing).
"Be prepared to show a Mexican fishing license to US Customs if bringing fish back into the United States." I've brought fish back several times and
have never been asked this.

"No longert needing baot permits has nothing to do with Liscenses. If you are on a boat and there is any fishing gear/tackle on the boat then everyone
on board has to have a liscense no matter how old or if they are fishing or not.

yes, and it's good for a year from the date of first use (you can state the date you plan to first fish!) instead of the way our crummy state of CA
does it.
