Prepare for the Exciting “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Rosarito’s beautiful “Playa El Bebé” is gearing up to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. Organizers are anticipating a large turnout, with last year’s event attracting nearly 150 fishermen from various parts of the state and Southern California.
This competition is part of the official calendar of the Baja California state fishing authority, SEPESCA BC, under the support of 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, led by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
The event will mark the start of three selective beach fishing tournaments that form the pathway to the State Championship. The tournament begins with registration at 5:00 AM, followed by the official start of fishing at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will conclude at 1:00 PM, permitting those in line by that time to still participate.
Prizes will be awarded in several categories, including children, women, mojarra, and other species. Additionally, there will be raffles and food made from local seafood. Those interested in participating can find details on registration, fees, rules, and prizes by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173 or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is also available on their website.
In support of the event, Victor Hugo Méndez from SEPESCA BC has provided financial assistance to the organizers to help with event expenses. Participants can register on the day of the tournament or pre-register at specified outlets such as Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking forward, the next rounds of the state competition are scheduled for April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. The top performers from these events will earn the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship to be held on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
