Fishing ?

[JKBalls]

If I was to fish from shore are you required to buy a mexican fishing liscense. I'm gonna be at rancho san eric for 10 days and I'm sure there will be some down time where I can go get my line wet. Thanks for the help in advanced.

Sorry, can't help you with the fishing..... Just wanted to welcome you to the board!!

No license is needed to fish.

technically, yes, it is required.

good luck, I don't think you'll catch anything without a spear gun but you never know.

You are right, I guess I have been illegal for the last 12 or so years.
I wouldn't know where to go to get one. I have been down in the jungle for too long.

Thanks for the info, I have been looking on the net and to fish from shore in mexican waters a license is not required but to fish from a boat one is required. And for the spear fishing you have to have one to. I'm not worried about catching much its a vacation and not work thats all that matters, just to have a good time. I will give some poppers and stuff for some permit or jacks.

If you're all the way down in San Eric, I think you can hook up with a fishing boat in the Sian Ka'an easily enough. There's fly fishing down there, but also deep sea and probably other types I don't know the names of.

I don't know how to direct you, but if you love to fish, you don't need to settle for just getting your line wet--go ahead and catch stuff and feed your family!
