**Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th**
Rosarito is gearing up to host the highly anticipated “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament on March 30th at Playa El Bebé. This event marks the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition and is expected to attract numerous competitors. Last year’s tournament saw participation from nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California.
The event is a key part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC and is supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. The tournament is being organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association and hosted by the TJ Fishing Club, represented by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
This year’s tournament is the first of three selective beach fishing events that will lead to the State Championship. Activities will commence at 5:00 AM with registration, followed by the official start of fishing at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will conclude at 1:00 PM, providing all participants in line by that time a chance to compete.
Prizes will be awarded in various categories, including children’s, women’s, and different species like mojarra. Additionally, there will be raffles and an array of dishes featuring local fish.
For those interested in participating, information on registration, costs, rules, and prizes can be obtained by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Further details are available on the TJ Fishing Club’s website.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial support to assist with event expenses. Participants also have the option of signing up on the day of the event or pre-registering at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, the next two rounds of the state competition will be held on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada with Club Pura Vida, and on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Top competitors from these events will have the opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship, scheduled for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
