Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Rosarito’s picturesque “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the inaugural round of Baja California’s state fishing competition this Sunday, March 30th. This exciting event is expected to draw a significant number of participants, with last year’s event attracting nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California.
This tournament is part of the official schedule by SEPESCA BC, backed by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration, and orchestrated by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. The hosting duties this year have been taken on by TJ Fishing Club, under the guidance of Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This event marks the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will determine who will qualify for the State Championship. The day will begin bright and early at 5:00 AM with registration, followed by the official start of fishing at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in wraps up at 1:00 PM; participants who are queued by this time will still qualify to contest.
Participants can look forward to a variety of prizes being awarded in categories such as children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species categories. Additionally, there will be raffles and delicious local fish dishes.
For those interested in joining the tournament, detailed information on registration, costs, rules, and prizes is available by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. You can also visit their website for more information.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to assist with the event expenses, showing strong governmental support.
If you’re eager to compete, registration can be completed the day of the event, or you can pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking at the broader competition, the next rounds will kick off on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, followed by the final round on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, which is organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Top anglers from these events will get the opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
