### Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Exciting times are ahead for fishing enthusiasts as Rosarito’s Playa El Bebé prepares to host the opening round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. This eagerly anticipated event promises a strong turnout, with last year’s competition attracting nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California.
Endorsed by the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda and officially listed on the calendar of SEPESCA BC, this tournament is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. The TJ Fishing Club, led by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, is hosting the event.
As the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that qualify participants for the State Championship, the day will kick off bright and early at 5:00 AM with registration. The fishing itself will start at 7:00 AM, while the weigh-in will continue until 1:00 PM. Participants in line by this time will still be considered for competition.
The tournament will feature a variety of categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species, with prizes to be awarded accordingly. Attendees can also look forward to raffles and delicious local fish dishes.
For those interested in participating, details regarding registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be obtained by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional information is available on the event’s website.
To assist with the tournament expenses, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to the organizers.
Participants can register on the day of the event or take advantage of pre-registration opportunities at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking forward, the next rounds of the competition will be held 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 anglers from these events will earn the opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
