Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito’s charming Playa El Bebé is set to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition this Sunday, March 30th. With expectations for a strong turnout, the event is a significant highlight for both local and visiting anglers. Last year, the tournament drew nearly 150 participants from across the state and Southern California.
This annual competition is part of the official calendar supported by the Baja California government and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year, the tournament is hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, with Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno leading the effort.
Anglers participating in the event have the chance to qualify for the State Championship through a series of three selective beach fishing tournaments. Registration begins at 5:00 AM, with fishing starting at 7:00 AM, and the weigh-in session concluding at 1:00 PM. Participants in line by that time will still be eligible to compete.
The tournament offers various prize categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Attendees can also enjoy raffles and locally-prepared seafood. Those interested in joining the festivities can find information on registration, costs, rules, and prizes by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More details are available on their website.
The head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, Victor Hugo Méndez, has provided financial support to assist with the event expenses. For those wishing to register in person, pre-registration is available at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria, or on the day of the event.
Future rounds of the competition are scheduled for 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. Outstanding anglers from these events will earn the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, which will be held on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
