Fishing Information
Mexican Fishing Licenses Mexican law requires that ALL people on a boat that has any fishing tackle
aboard have a current Mexican fishing license. This includes young children. If you’re old enough
to hold a pole, you need a license. Fishing licenses are sold by the day, week, month or year.
A yearly policy begins the day it is written and expires a year later from that date. It is not a
calendar year as it is with U.S. fishing licenses.
A Mexican fishing license is not required if you are just fishing from the shore.
To apply for a non-commercial sportfishing license, complete the application, and return to
Discover Baja by email, fax or mail along with payment.
