**Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
This Sunday, March 30th, the picturesque “Playa El Bebé” in Rosarito will be the venue for the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition. The event promises to draw fishing enthusiasts from across the region, including Southern California, with last year’s tournament drawing nearly 150 participants.
This tournament is a key part of the official calendar for SEPESCA BC and enjoys the backing of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. The Baja California Fishing Clubs Association coordinates the event, with TJ Fishing Club at the helm, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
The “El Bebé” tournament is the first of three beach fishing competitions that qualify participants for the State Championship. Proceedings will start early at 5:00 AM with angler registration. The fishing action kicks off officially at 7:00 AM, with the weigh-in concluding at 1:00 PM. All participants in line by that time are eligible to compete.
Prizes will be awarded in categories such as children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. There will also be raffles and locally sourced fish dishes available. For those interested in joining the tournament, further details including registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be obtained by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173.

The event received financial support from Victor Hugo Méndez, Sport Fishing head at SEPESCA BC, to assist with covering event-related costs. Registration is also possible on the day or in advance at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, 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, coordinated by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín.
