Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito is gearing up to host the highly anticipated “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament on Sunday, March 30th. This marks the first round of the Baja California state fishing competition, and organizers are expecting a great turnout. Last year, nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California participated.
Supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, the event will take place at Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé.” The TJ Fishing Club, with representatives Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, is hosting this year’s tournament.
This event acts as a qualifying round for the State Championship, with two more selective beach fishing tournaments to follow. Registration for anglers will begin at 5:00 AM, with fishing officially starting at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in process will conclude at 1:00 PM.
Participants will have the chance to win prizes in various categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Raffles and food made from local fish will also be part of the event. For those interested in competing, further details on registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be obtained by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is also available on the tournament’s website.
In support of this event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial assistance to help cover event expenses. Anglers can either register on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Following this event, the next round of the state competition will take place on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida. The final round will occur on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín.
