Anticipated to draw anglers from across the region, last year’s event saw nearly 150 participants from both the state and Southern California.
This tournament is officially part of the calendar for SEPESCA BC and is backed by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. It is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, with this year’s hosting duties managed by the TJ Fishing Club, under the leadership of Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
The event marks the first in a series of three beach fishing tournaments, serving as qualifiers for the State Championship. Registration starts at 5:00 AM, with fishing beginning at 7:00 AM and concluding with the weigh-in at 1:00 PM. Participants must be in line by that time to ensure their catches are counted.
Exciting prizes await the day’s top anglers with categories including children’s, women’s, and various fish species like mojarra. Participants can also look forward to raffles and enjoy local fish dishes.
