Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito This March 30th
Rosarito’s picturesque “Playa El Bebé” is set to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. Officials expect a strong turnout, with last year’s event attracting nearly 150 anglers from the state and Southern California.
This competition is an integral part of the official calendar supported by SEPESCA BC and backed by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. The event is 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 tournament marks the beginning of a series of three selective beach fishing events to qualify participants for the State Championship. The day begins at 5:00 AM with registration, and fishing starts at 7:00 AM sharp. The weigh-in closes at 1:00 PM, but participants in line by that time will still have their catches counted.
The event will see prizes awarded in categories like children’s, women’s, mojarra and other species, alongside raffles and food made from local fish. For further information regarding registration, rules, and prizes, interested parties can contact 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or email tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional details are also available on the club’s website.
The head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, Victor Hugo Méndez, has shown support by providing financial assistance for the event’s expenses. Gates will be open for participants to sign-up on the day or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Future rounds of the state competition include April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada, hosted by Club Pura Vida, and July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín. Successful anglers will have the chance to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship from September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
