OK, so we're new to PP and finding our way around. Hubby likes & wants to fish, he just bought a small sea kayak. Will a kayak or your wife's boat qualify for the fishing license requirements that I've read about? He likes to fish from shore....but wanted to try with the kayak to get out a little bit further. Where are the estuaries you are talking about? I did find a post from Roberto about shore fishing at La Pinta and want to try there as well.
Thanks
You can fish from a shore-launched kayak without a license. Frankly, you aren't likely to get checked for a license unless you are in the Old Port in a "real" boat and they flag you down.
La Marua estuary is about 8 miles east of town- go out on the Las Conchas/Caborca highway and turn right at the Playa Encanto sign- take the dirt road all the way to where the beach houses start and take a right- stay on the lower road (the upper one goes to the condos) and follow the lower road about 2 miles as it runs along the backs of the developments. You should eventually get to a gate to the La Marua Yacht club with a big sign that days "Members Only- Keep out!" - just ignore the sign as you drive in and park at the end of the road near the chain. That whole strech of beach is the mouth of the estuary and when the tide rolls the water can really get moving in there.
La Pinta estuary is past the Mayan Palace on the same Caborca road (about 15 miles from PP)- about 2 miles past the point where the road bends to the right (south) there is a dirt road on the right (also with a Keep out sign) that will take you down to the mounth of La Pinta.
