Fishing Amistad?

I haven't been south since the TBF state championship several years ago - looks like the whole boat check/certification thing is no more? And if I stay in US waters I don't need a Mexican fishing license?

Was looking at staying at the Lodge at Sanders Point - anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks

Stayed at Lodge at Sanders Point last April. The place is a little dated...large rooms, very clean, quiet and great owners. We had a fabulous time.
