Prepare for an exciting day at the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th! As the first installment in Baja California’s annual fishing competition, the event is set to kick off this Sunday at Rosarito’s “Playa El Bebé”. Last year, the tournament attracted nearly 150 anglers from Baja California and Southern California, and organizers expect a similar turnout this year.
Supported by the government and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, the tournament is hosted by TJ Fishing Club, with representatives Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno at the helm. This event is the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments that will help participants qualify for the State Championship. Activities start early, with angler registration at 5:00 AM, fishing commencing at 7:00 AM, and the weigh-in concluding at 1:00 PM.
Participants can compete in various categories, including those for children and women, with prizes available for catches like mojarra and other species. Additionally, the day will feature raffles and delicious local fish dishes. Interested people can find registration details by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is available on the TJ Fishing Club’s website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, who leads the Sport Fishing section of SEPESCA BC, has offered financial support to ease event expenses. Those eager to participate can register the day of the event or pre-register at either Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking forward, the tournament’s next rounds 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 with Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Top-performing anglers will be eligible to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
