### Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is set to be the venue for an exciting day of fishing as it hosts the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. This event is expected to attract a large number of anglers from across the state and Southern California, following last year’s impressive turnout of nearly 150 participants.
The tournament is an official event on the SEPESCA BC calendar, with backing from Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. It is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association along with TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This tournament marks the first of three selective beach fishing events designed to qualify participants for the State Championship. The action begins at 5:00 AM with registration for anglers, followed by the official start of fishing at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will conclude at 1:00 PM, ensuring that all participants in line by that time can still compete.
Prizes will be awarded across various categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Attendees can also look forward to prize raffles and enjoying dishes made with local fish.
For those interested in joining the tournament, you can find information about registration, costs, rules, and prizes by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional details are available on the tournament’s website.
In support of the event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial assistance to help cover expenses.
Competitors have the option to sign up on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking forward, the next two rounds of the state competition will take place 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. Successful anglers from these events will earn the chance to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship scheduled for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
