Prepare yourself for the excitement of the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th! This eagerly anticipated event marks the start of Baja California’s state fishing competition and promises to draw a sizeable crowd. Last year, the tournament attracted nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California, and organizers are expecting similar enthusiasm this year.
The tournament will take place at Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” and is officially part of the SEPESCA BC calendar. It receives support from Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration and is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year, TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, will be hosting the event.
The tournament is the first of three beach fishing contests that qualify participants for the State Championship. Activities kick off at 5:00 AM with registration, followed by the start of fishing at 7:00 AM. Weigh-ins will conclude at 1:00 PM, allowing all anglers in line by then to participate. Prizes will be awarded across various categories, including children’s and women’s divisions, as well as for different fish species. Raffles and food featuring local fish will also be part of the day’s attractions.
For those interested in participating, more information on registration, costs, 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 the organizing club’s website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, the head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to help cover event expenses. Participants can register on the event day or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, the subsequent rounds of the state competition are scheduled for April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Top anglers from these events will qualify to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, set for September 19-20 in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
