Prepare for the Exciting “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito’s beautiful Playa El Bebé is set to host the first round of Baja California’s prestigious state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. Organizers anticipate a robust participation, building on last year’s turnout of nearly 150 anglers from across the region and Southern California.
Supported by the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, this event is part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC and is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. Hosting duties this year fall to the TJ Fishing Club, under the leadership of Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This tournament marks the first of three selective beach fishing competitions designed to determine qualifiers for the State Championship. Registration begins bright and early at 5:00 AM, with fishing officially starting at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will close at 1:00 PM, though anglers in line by then will still be able to compete.
Participants will vie for trophies across various categories, including those for children, women, and different fish species like mojarra. In addition to the competition, there will be raffles and a delightful offering of food made from local fish.
For those eager to participate, information on registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be obtained by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173 or emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More detailed information is also available on their website.
In a show of support for the event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, provided financial assistance to the organizers to help defray costs.
Fishing enthusiasts 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.
Looking beyond this event, the state competition will continue with the next round on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and conclude on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Successful competitors will earn the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
As the anticipation builds for this exciting event, participants and spectators alike look forward to a fantastic day filled with thrilling competition and camaraderie.
