If you enjoy fishing, but you do not plan to go on a boat while in Mexico – you do NOT need to trouble yourself with getting a Mexican fishing license.  Mexican fishing licenses are only required for people who are on a boat or other floatation device.

If you will only be fishing from the beach, rocks, piers, or shoreline – then you can save yourself some time and money because you do NOT need to get a Mexican fishing license.

If there is a chance you could get on a boat and do some fishing, then you should go ahead and get your Mexican fishing license before entering Mexico.
