Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito’s Playa El Bebé is preparing to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. The event is set to welcome numerous anglers from across the region, continuing the tradition from previous years, where nearly 150 participants from both the state and Southern California joined in the thrill.
This fishing tournament is a significant event on the official calendar of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (SEPESCA BC), with support from Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. The Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, in collaboration with TJ Fishing Club, led by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, is organizing the event. It marks the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will determine who qualifies for the State Championship.
The day kicks off bright and early at 5:00 AM with angler registration, and fishing officially starts at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in, essential for determining the day’s top catches, concludes at 1:00 PM. Participants who are in line by this time will still have a chance to compete. The competition ends with the awarding of prizes in several categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species categories. Attendees can also enjoy raffles and locally sourced seafood.
Interested participants can gather more information about registration, event rules, and prize details by contacting the organizers at 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional details are also available on the TJ Fishing Club’s website.
The event receives backing from Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, who has provided financial support to help cover event costs. Registration is open both on the day of the event at the site and in advance at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking towards the future, the next rounds of the state competition are scheduled for 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 opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, taking place on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
