Shari - we too had a recent price increase - they went from USD $13 ea to USD $15 and this morning to USD $21 each for Daily .. Our captains were quite surprised = and the office really did not want to be paid in pesos - maybe DavidE's post has something to do with this .. who knows!

The good news is lots of fish are being caught - and for those that can handle a little rough water big tuna .. 20-25 miles out ... the seem to love the frenetic energy of the chop ..

... lots of whales so non anglers are enjoying as well ..

All best wishes!

Certainly the extra funds generated by the increase will go towards fisheries enforcement and conservation.

that is so strange that there are different prices...I have the official fancy government poster here they gave me that list the official prices only in pesos...I'll ask our friendly Fonmar guy Sixto what's up.

Just the messenger folks.

We used to purchase licenses from Pesca in blocks of 100 -- stopped doing that a really long time ago ..

We know of someone who was thankfully busted for cloning licenses - perhaps that is one of numerous reasons license sales are controlled in CSL/SJD.

Maybe some funds do get allocated to environmental - fisheries enforcement and conservation. No idea.

As have said for a really long time on this board too, we dont make the rules we just follow them as regards our biz.

edited to remove a smiley thing - no idea how that got in there

Udo;

I have read about other complaints for this site. Fortunately it has always worked for me. Did you change the language from spanish to english? If so, try it in spanish, if not try it in english.

If you are able to register, be sure to click submit payment only once. Be patient as the scripts tend to be a bit loopy.

The main advantage is that you get a printable/reprintable version of your license.

Could be the license fee increase is to account for theft, corruption or wasted printed documents, distribution and all the overhead associated with having license brokers all over Mexico.

I bet.
Funds probably get allocated buy new gear for the commercials that set huge gill nets in the surf on the Pacific side. Amongst other examples of over exploitation in BCS that seem to go unnoticed by authorities.

and there is probably a value added "tax" as the permit gets passed along....thus the different prices. Hey, everybody needs to make some money along the way

Our friendly Fonmar officer who comes to collect the license fees from me told me that the money generated here has bought them a patrol boat for this area and paid for more vigilancia (patrols)....which we indeed have seen. there have been more illegal fishing busts the last couple years and a much greater presence of fisheries officers here for which we are grateful.

that is chump change. the price of gasoline at Pemex is now 10.61 pesos/liter.

the daze of getting down south fairly cheaply and then spreading $ around might be gone forever. We nailed some big a s s fish today and it was the most beautiful day of the last 6. put a price on that.....

Is this online site an official branch of the Mexican government? Or, is this an intermediary?

Are you issued a PDF that contains an exact copy of a typical Mexican fishing license?

Not sure if it's an official branch or setup just like the brokers that sell directly to the public. The PDF is bar coded. The bar code is useful because Mexican fish and Game carry scanners to validate your license. :cool:

I print several and keep them on the boat, yak and tacklebox.

The PDF file is generated from the conpesca.gob.mx so it's as official as I need it.

I remember when I first tried to register on the site that it gave me problems. Then it worked. I forget if it sends you a link to your email and then you have to click on that? I seem to remember something like that was the problem. Once you get it working though, it is great. I have bought several licenses for friends and family under my account as well - you just update your contact info with their name/address and it prints their info on the license. The site is great because you print out as many copies of your license as you want; one for the boat, one to keep in the car, etc.
