**Prepare for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
Rosarito is set to host the thrilling “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament at Playa El Bebé this Sunday, March 30th, marking the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition. With organizers anticipating a robust turnout, this event is expected to attract a diverse group of fishing enthusiasts from both the state and Southern California. Last year, the tournament welcomed nearly 150 anglers, making it a pivotal gathering for the region’s fishing community.
Endorsed by the Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration and officially listed on the SEPESCA BC calendar, the tournament is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year’s event is hosted with great enthusiasm by the TJ Fishing Club, spearheaded by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
Anglers eager to participate should note that this is the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will qualify them for the State Championship. Registration begins at 5:00 AM followed by the start of the fishing competition at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in concludes at 1:00 PM, ensuring any participant in line by this time can still compete.
Participants will vie for prizes across several categories including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Additionally, there will be raffles and delicacies made with fresh local seafood.
For those interested in joining the competition, detailed information concerning registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be acquired by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More comprehensive details are available on their website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has pledged financial support to assist with organizing costs, ensuring the tournament runs smoothly.
For those who can’t pre-register, sign-ups will be available on the day of the event. Participants can also register in advance at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking further ahead, the next rounds of the state competition are slated for April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, conducted by Club Pura Vida, and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Top-performing anglers from these events will earn the chance to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
