Prepare for an exciting fishing event as Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” prepares to host the inaugural round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. The event promises a solid turnout, with last year’s competition attracting nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California.
This tournament is part of the official calendar set by SEPESCA BC and supported by the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. Organizing the event is the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association with TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This will be the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will qualify participants for the State Championship. Anglers can register starting at 5:00 AM, with the fishing officially beginning at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will close at 1:00 PM, but participants who are in line by that time can still compete.
Prizes will be awarded in various categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Attendees can also look forward to raffles and food featuring local fish delicacies. Interested participants can find registration details, costs, rules, and prize information by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional information is available on the official website.
To support the event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, provided financial aid to the organizers to help cover the event’s costs.
Pre-registration is available at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria, and you can also sign up on the day of the event.
Following this event, the second and third rounds of the competition are scheduled for April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and for July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Successful anglers from these events will have the chance to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship this September in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
