Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito is gearing up to host the first round of the Baja California state fishing competition at “Playa El Bebé” on Sunday, March 30th. Anticipation is running high as organizers expect a strong turnout, similar to last year when nearly 150 anglers participated from across the state and Southern California.
The tournament is part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC, backed by the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, and orchestrated by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year, the event is being hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This marks the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments, which will determine who qualifies for the State Championship. The day kicks off at 5:00 AM with registration, fishing begins at 7:00 AM, and the weigh-in concludes at 1:00 PM, accommodating any angler in line by that time.
Participants can look forward to prizes in various categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and more. The event will also feature raffles and local fish cuisine. For those interested in joining the competition, information on registration, fees, rules, and prizes is available by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional details can be found on their website.
To support the event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, provided financial assistance to help manage event costs.
Registration is available on the day or can be completed in advance at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking forward, the subsequent 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. The top anglers from these events will have the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco, on September 19-20.
