**Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
Rosarito’s picturesque “Playa El Bebé” will set the stage this Sunday, March 30th, for the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition. Organizers anticipate a significant turnout, with last year attracting nearly 150 fishermen from across the state and Southern California. This event is officially part of the SEPESCA BC calendar and is supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. It’s organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association and hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
As the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments in the series, this event will help qualify participants for the State Championship. Early risers can register starting at 5:00 AM, with the competition officially beginning at 7:00 AM and concluding the weigh-in at 1:00 PM. Anglers in line by the deadline will still be eligible to compete.
Awards will be given in various categories including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species, and there will be raffles and food offerings featuring local fish. Those interested in participating can find more details on registration, costs, rules, and prizes by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com.

To support this event, Victor Hugo Méndez, the head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, provided financial backing to help cover organizing expenses. Participants can register on the day of the event or pre-register at select locations like Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or the Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, the state competition continues 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 competitors from these events will earn the opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, held September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
