Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is gearing up to host the opening round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. The event is set to welcome a large number of anglers from the state and Southern California, with last year’s tournament attracting nearly 150 participants.
This official event, part of the SEPESCA BC calendar, is supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year’s tournament is hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, with representatives Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
The competition is the first of three beach fishing tournaments designed to qualify participants for the State Championship. Registration begins at 5:00 AM, with fishing starting at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in process will close at 1:00 PM, but participants in line by then will still be allowed to compete.
The tournament will feature prize categories including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and others. Additionally, attendees can look forward to raffles and enjoy local fish dishes. For those interested in participating, detailed information on registration, rules, and prizes can be obtained by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is available on their website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial backing to support the event’s expenses.
Participants have the option to register on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria. The state competition’s subsequent rounds are scheduled for April 27th in Ensenada at Sunset Beach, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and July 20th in San Quintín at Playa El Pabellón, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín.
Top performers in these competitions will qualify to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco, on September 19-20.
