**Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
Rosarito’s beautiful “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the first leg of the Baja California State Fishing Competition on Sunday, March 30th. Organizers anticipate a strong turnout as last year’s event attracted nearly 150 anglers from throughout the region and Southern California.
This competition is officially part of the SEPESCA BC calendar and is backed by the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. It is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, with the TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, playing host to this exciting event.
The tournament is the first of three beach fishing events that will qualify participants for the State Championship. Anglers can register as early as 5:00 AM, with the official fishing time starting at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will conclude at 1:00 PM, but participants in line by that time will still be eligible.
Categories for the competition include children’s, women’s, mojarra, and more, with various prizes up for grabs. Additionally, attendees can expect raffles and local fish delicacies. For those eager to join, registration details, cost, rules, and prize information can be obtained by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More details are also available on their website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, the head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has shown support by providing financial assistance to ensure the event’s success. Participants can either register on the day or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Upcoming 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 could represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, slated for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
**Baja California Weather and Events Update**
As Baja California gears up for the fishing tournament, it’s essential to note the weather forecast predicting strong winds, choppy seas, and cooler temperatures. This may impact fishing conditions slightly but is not expected to deter eager participants and spectators.
In other news, Baja California is also preparing for the much-anticipated SCORE San Felipe 250, an off-road racing event drawing enthusiasts from around the world. Meanwhile, authorities have recently seized nearly 2.1 million gallons of stolen fuel in Ensenada, showcasing a crackdown on illegal activities.
Additionally, in Rosarito, a new housing program has been launched to support local communities, alongside ongoing preparations for the 2025 Tianguis Turístico that promises to boost tourism in the area.
