I doubt Mex. will shoot themselves in the foot with these "new visas" . I have not heard of any difinitive actions on behalf of Mex. gov. at this point in time. I'm betting it will not go into effect!!

I hope so Dave.

So here is the California Constitution regarding fishing. So whats going to happen the first time some one is issued a ticket for fishing in a MLPA and holds this article up in court. Will it hold up?

Im interested in seeing if how hard its patrolled? If we're out bass fishing and releasing everything we catch, will they write us a ticket? Only one way to find out.

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 1 DECLARATION OF RIGHTS

Section 25. The people shall have the right to fish upon and from
the public lands of the State and in the waters thereof, excepting
upon lands set aside for fish hatcheries, and no land owned by the
State shall ever be sold or transferred without reserving in the
people the absolute right to fish thereupon; and no law shall ever be
passed making it a crime for the people to enter upon the public
lands within this State for the purpose of fishing in any water
containing fish that have been planted therein by the State;
provided, that the legislature may by statute, provide for the season
when and the conditions under which the different species of fish
may be taken.
