Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Rosarito is all set to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition at “Playa El Bebé” on Sunday, March 30th. This exciting event is anticipated to attract a crowd, with nearly 150 anglers participating last year from across the state and Southern California.
This competition is a key part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC and is receiving significant support from the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. Organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, this year’s event is being hosted by TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
The tournament marks the first of three selective beach fishing events that will determine qualifiers for the State Championship. Activities kick off at 5:00 AM with angler registration, and fishing officially starts at 7:00 AM. Competitors have until 1:00 PM to weigh in their catches as long as they are in line by that time.
Prizes will be awarded in various categories including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Additionally, there will be raffles and food featuring local fish delicacies. To participate, interested individuals can find further details on registration, costs, rules, and prizes by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is also available on their website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has shown his support by providing financial assistance 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 will take place on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Top performers will have the opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
