### Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Mark your calendars for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito, taking place on March 30th. This event will serve as the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition, promising an exciting day for fishing enthusiasts. Organized by the TJ Fishing Club, the tournament is expected to attract a significant number of participants from across the state and Southern California, mirroring last year’s turnout of nearly 150 anglers.
As part of the official SEPESCA BC calendar and supported by the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, the tournament is endorsed by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. This event marks the beginning of a series of selective beach fishing tournaments, ultimately qualifying participants for the State Championship.
The day kicks off with registration at 5:00 AM, followed by the official start of fishing at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will conclude at 1:00 PM, ensuring all queued participants by that time can compete. Prizes will be awarded across various categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Attendees can also look forward to raffles and food featuring local fish flavors.
Those interested in participating can find registration details, costs, rules, and prize information by contacting the organizers at 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Online registration is also possible via their website.
In preparation for the event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, provided financial support to help cover event expenses. Participants can register on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Following this event, two more rounds will take place—April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín. These tournaments provide a pathway for top anglers to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
