**Prepare for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the inaugural round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. The event is anticipated to attract a significant number of participants, following last year’s gathering of nearly 150 anglers from both the state and Southern California.
Part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC and supported by local government, the tournament is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This year’s event is being hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This tournament marks the first of three selective beach fishing events designed to qualify participants for the State Championship. The day will commence at 5:00 AM with registration for anglers, while fishing officially begins at 7:00 AM. Participants have until 1:00 PM for the weigh-in, allowing those in line by then to still partake.
Prizes will be awarded in different categories such as children’s, women’s, and for various species like mojarra. Additionally, there will be raffles and local fish cuisine for attendees to enjoy.
Interested participants can find information on registration, costs, rules, and prizes by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Further details are available on their website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to the organizers, aiding in covering event costs.
Participants have the option to register on the day of the event or in advance at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Future rounds of the state competition are planned for 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 best anglers from these events will represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, slated for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
