**Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is gearing up to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. With a robust turnout expected, the event is likely to mirror last year’s success, which attracted nearly 150 anglers from across the region and Southern California.
This competition is part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC, the state’s fisheries department, and is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. Leading the event is the TJ Fishing Club, headed by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno. The tournament is one of three selective beach fishing events that will qualify participants for the State Championship.
The day starts early, with registration at 5:00 AM and the official start of fishing at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will conclude at 1:00 PM, allowing those in line by this time to have their catches considered. Participants can look forward to an award ceremony featuring categories for children, women, mojarra, and more. Additionally, there will be raffles and food made from locally-sourced fish.
Those interested in participating can find registration details, rules, and prizes by calling 664-493-6014 or 664-339-9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is also available on the club’s official website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has announced financial support from the organization to assist with event costs. Competitors can register on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
The next rounds of the state competition are scheduled for April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín. The top anglers will have the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco, on September 19-20.
