The Coronado Islands. You will need a passport to fish there from now on, even from vessels departing from US waters.

The San Diego sportfishing fleet has made some adjustments in their fishing areas due to a new requirement for all anglers south of the border and within 12 miles of the Mexican coast to posses a passport. This includes those fishing aboard vessels departing from U.S. waters. To give folks some time to comply, the boats have shifted outside that area for a bit.

As there is a no-take in Mexico for bluefin tuna that are also being caught north of the border where 2 can be kept and the yellowtail fishing has turned on off La Jolla, this has not been a totally devastating blow to the fleet. The worst hit are the 3/4 day and overnight boats concentrating on the Coronado Islands and the Baja coast within the 12 mile limit.
