Prepare for the Excitement at the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the first round of the Baja California state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. The event, anticipated to draw a significant number of participants, attracted nearly 150 anglers from all across the state and Southern California last year.
Supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration, and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, the tournament is a key part of the official calendar for SEPESCA BC. This year, the event is being hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, led by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This tournament kicks off a series of three selective beach fishing events that will determine qualifiers for the State Championship. The day begins at 5:00 AM with anglers’ registration, and the fishing officially starts at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will conclude at 1:00 PM, allowing those in line by that time to still participate in the scoring.
Prizes will be awarded in categories that include children’s and women’s competitions, as well as for different fish species like mojarra. Attendees can also look forward to raffles and locally-prepared seafood.
For those interested in joining the tournament, registration details, costs, rules, and prizes can be obtained by calling 664-493-6014 or 664-339-9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional information is available on the TJ Fishing Club website.
In support of the tournament, financial backing was provided by Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, to help cover event expenses. Participants can register on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or the Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, the next rounds of the state competition are scheduled for 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. Winners from these events will earn the opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, taking place on September 19-20 in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
