Get your gear ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament, set to take place in Rosarito on March 30th. This event marks the kickoff of the Baja California state fishing competition, with a promising turnout expected this Sunday.
Last year’s tournament attracted around 150 avid anglers from various parts of the state and Southern California. The event is orchestrated by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association and backed by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. This year, the TJ Fishing Club, led by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, is hosting the tournament.
This tournament is the first of three selective competitions, determining qualification for the State Championship. Registration begins at 5:00 AM, with the official fishing start at 7:00 AM. Participants must have their catches weighed by 1:00 PM to be considered. Prizes will be awarded in several categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and more. Plus, attendees can enjoy raffles and local fish delicacies.
If you’re interested in participating, you can find registration details, costs, rules, and prize information by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Further information is also available on the club’s website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, the head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to help cover event expenses. Anglers can register on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Future rounds of the state competition will occur on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín.
