**Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
Rosarito’s scenic “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition this Sunday, March 30th. The event promises to attract a substantial number of participants, after last year’s tournament saw nearly 150 anglers from across Baja California and Southern California.
This fishing tournament is officially part of the Baja California Ministry of Fishing and Aquaculture (SEPESCA BC) events calendar. It is backed by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. The TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, will be hosting this year’s competition.
The tournament is the preliminary event in a series of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will determine the qualifiers for the State Championship. Registration for participants will commence at 5:00 AM, with the official fishing start time at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will end at 1:00 PM, but those already in line by that time will still have their catches considered.
Prizes will be distributed in several categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and various other species. Attendees can also look forward to raffles and local fish cuisine offered on-site.
For those interested in joining the competition, registration details, costs, rules, and prize information can be obtained by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or via email at tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional information is available on their website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has announced financial support for the tournament organizers to aid in covering the event’s expenses.
Enthusiasts can register on the event day or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria. Following this tournament, the next two rounds of the state competition will occur 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 performers from these events will have the chance to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla in Jalisco.
