Prepare for the Exciting “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito is gearing up to host an exciting day of fishing as the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament kicks off this Sunday, March 30th. This event marks the first round of the Baja California state fishing competition, with expectations for a significant turnout.
Last year’s event attracted nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California, highlighting the tournament’s growing popularity. Organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, this competition is part of the official calendar for SEPESCA BC, under the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda. This year, the tournament is being organized by the TJ Fishing Club, with representation from Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
Anglers will compete in the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments, leading up to the State Championship. Registration begins at 5:00 AM, and fishing officially starts at 7:00 AM. The weigh-in will close at 1:00 PM, but anyone in line by that time will be able to have their catches counted.
At the close of the event, prizes will be awarded across several categories, including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Raffles and the opportunity to enjoy local fish dishes will add extra fun to the day.
Interested participants can find information on registration, costs, and rules by contacting 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More details are also available on their website.
In support of the tournament, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial assistance to help cover the event’s expenses. Participants can register on the day of the event or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or the Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, subsequent rounds of the state competition will take place on 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. Top anglers will have the chance to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship held in September in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
