[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 279334, member: 3373"] Don't have any idea of the rules. Have been to Mexico but never fished. Was told by a guy who used to hunt in Mexico when he lived along the Rio Grande that if you were stopped by a Mexican game warden and issued a ticket that it was usually cheaper to just pay him the fine rather than go to court to fight it. According to him, the higher you went in the court system the more expensive it became and guilty or not was never in question. Have fished the ocean in US and at one time you needed a state license to fish from shore but not from a boat in the ocean. Believe many of those rules have now changed to a state license is required within territorial waters, meaning within so many miles from shore. As always, it's best to check with local authorities to receive an official answer. Might not hurt to have a license in either case so you don't end up in a Mexican jail. [/QUOTE]
