**Prepare for the Exciting “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th**
Rosarito is set to host an exhilarating event on March 30th with the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament taking place at Playa El Bebé. Enthusiasts from across Baja California and Southern California are expected to participate in this thrilling competition, which kicks off the state’s fishing circuit. Last year, the tournament attracted nearly 150 participants, and organizers are anticipating another great turnout.
This fishing tournament is part of the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association and is backed by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda under the jurisdiction of SEPESCA BC. The TJ Fishing Club, led by representatives Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, is hosting this year’s event. It serves as the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments this season offering a pathway for fishermen to qualify for the State Championship.
The day begins at 5:00 AM with registration, followed by the official start of the fishing competition at 7:00 AM. Participating anglers must complete their fishing by 1:00 PM, and only those in line by that time will have their catch weighed. Various categories like children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species will be recognized with awards, in addition to numerous raffles and the enjoyment of locally prepared fish dishes.
Interested participants can find information regarding registration, fees, guidelines, and prizes by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More details are also available online.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has contributed financial support to the event to help defray expenses. Competitors can register on the day of the tournament or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Future rounds include an event on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada hosted by Club Pura Vida, and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Successful anglers from these events will earn the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
