Prepare for the Exciting “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is set to kick off the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition this Sunday, March 30th. The event is anticipated to attract a strong turnout, having drawn nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California in the previous year. This exciting tournament is part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC and is supported by the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, with organization by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association.
The tournament, managed this year by the TJ Fishing Club and represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, is the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will determine qualifiers for the State Championship. Activities will commence at 5:00 AM with angler registration, and the official start will be at 7:00 AM. The competition will continue until the weigh-in closes at 1:00 PM, allowing all participants present by that time to weigh their catch.
Prizes will be presented in various categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. There will be raffles, and attendees can enjoy food made with local fish. For those interested in joining, details on registration, costs, rules, and prizes are available by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional information can be found on the club’s website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has extended financial support to help the organizers cover event expenses. Aspiring participants can either sign up on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, the next rounds of the state competition will be held on 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. Top anglers from these events will have the opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
