Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. Anticipation is high, as last year the event saw nearly 150 participants from across the state and Southern California.
This tournament is part of the official schedule supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year, TJ Fishing Club, under the representation of Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, is hosting the event.
The tournament is the first of a series of three selective beach fishing events, determining who will qualify for the State Championship. The day will begin early, with registration opening at 5:00 AM. Official fishing starts at 7:00 AM and, after hours of competition, the weigh-in will conclude by 1:00 PM. Participants in line by this time will have their catches counted.
Prizes will be awarded in various categories, including for children, women, mojarra, and other fish species. Attendees can also enjoy raffles and local fish delicacies.
For those interested in participating, details on registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be obtained by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Further information is also available on the TJ Fishing Club website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to assist with event expenses.
Walk-in registration will be available on the event day, or participants may pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking forward, the next two rounds of the state competition will take place on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, with Club Pura Vida hosting, and on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín.
The top performers from these events will gain the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
