Okay, most of you probably already know the answer to this but I decided to call U.S. Customs (Otay Mesa) and ask if a small fishing boat needs a passport to fish anywhere in Mexican waters. The conversation went something like this:

Me: I have a 26' fishing boat and would like to know if I need a passport to fish in Mexican waters.

Him: You would need to contact the Mexican Government to get the answer to that, sir.

Me: I will do that on your recommendation, but I know that Customs checks boats on their return....do they check to see if you have one?

Him: Of course, you are required to have a passport when entering a foreign country.

Me: I guess that answers my question, thanks!

What an Ass!
