I doubt you can be Capt...or even work on your boat...you'd have to hire local Mexican Captain with license.

You'd have to be a legal fishing charter company & pay taxes.

Like others have said...it's not easy or profitable. Why would you want to do it?

No, i will buy boat or super panga in Mexico

for sure i plan to be legal fishing charter company, pay taxes and hire mexican staff

i want to do it because i'm fishing addict...and for info i fish for catch'n release only.

Theres this guy, Josh something or other. He was around here for awhile some time ago. He might be able to give you some advice.

You can start by making good friends with people in the know in Mexico. You know people with connections. Mexico is a great place to live and fish etc. but not to make a living if you're not Mexican. Listen to these guys as they know what's going on.

If you're actually serious about starting a Mex fishing charter service, looking here for the answers on "how to" do it is the WRONG place.

As others have suggested, start with a Mex atty to get you headed down the right path. There are many hoops to jump through and as a gringo, you'll want to dot your i's and cross your t's.

what do you mean "Mex atty"

i contacted many times Mexican government and never reply me ... that's why i ask on the forum...

i want to be in law and do the right pass, but no-one want to help me...

Mexican Attorney. Meaning an Attorney LICENSED to practice LAW in Mexico.

it's not that no one wants to help you, but:

1. the laws down there are complex, change all the time, and are not enforced as uniformly as they are in the US. Also, IMHO, they aren't real keen on foreign citizens setting up shop on their home turf. I know, people do it and are successful.....but it can be a major pain to jump thru all the hoops.....and even to know the hoops to jump thru.

IF you already had a successful charter business, and were looking to move your operation to MEX, then I think you would get a better response from the members here....


and


2. We still aren't really sure that your name isn't Josh.

(I guess you had to be here.....a canadian named Josh who ran a charter service down in PV used to post here, but he, eh, well, let's just say doesn't anymore. If you have alot of time to read....do a search for "Prime Time". )

Cant blame ya for seeking information..... I hope you get to do it!

OK that is a good star ! Thanck you very much MikeyLikesIt

I don't know who is Josh and my name is not Josh, and why make a generality ... it's not because a Canadian was not correct, they are all like that ...

I'm French from France, where I was commercial fisherman, in 1999 i had leave France with my wife and two daughter for Canada until to now.



that's who i am

Ps: if you want Q to fish salmon on Lake Ontario.....i'm your guy
