Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the exciting first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition this Sunday, March 30th. This eagerly anticipated event is expected to draw a large number of anglers from across the state and Southern California. Last year’s tournament saw nearly 150 participants, and organizers anticipate an even greater turnout this year.
The competition is part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC and is supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. It is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association and hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, led by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This tournament marks the first of three selective beach fishing events that will allow participants to qualify for the State Championship. The day kicks off with registration at 5:00 AM, and lines cast at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in wraps up at 1:00 PM, giving participants in line by that time a chance to compete.
Participants can look forward to prizes in categories including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Additionally, there will be raffles and local fish delicacies available. Those interested in joining the event can find registration details, costs, rules, and prizes by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com.
In support of the tournament, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to assist with event expenses. Anglers can sign up on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, the subsequent rounds of the state competition will take place on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. The top anglers from these events will earn the chance to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship to be held on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
