Get Ready for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Excitement is building as the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament is set to take place in Rosarito on Sunday, March 30th. This event marks the beginning of Baja California’s state fishing competition and is expected to attract a significant number of participants. Last year, nearly 150 anglers from across the region and Southern California gathered for the competition, making it a highlight for fishing enthusiasts.
Supported by the administration of the Governor of Baja California and organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, this tournament will be hosted by TJ Fishing Club. The event organizers, Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno, have ensured a well-planned day that serves as the first of three selective beach fishing tournaments. These will qualify participants for the prestigious State Championship.
The day will kick off early with registration starting at 5:00 AM, followed by the official commencement of fishing at 7:00 AM. Participants will have until 1:00 PM to weigh in their catches, as long as they are in line by that time. An exciting lineup of prize categories includes children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other fish species. There will also be raffles, and attendees can enjoy local culinary delights prepared with fresh fish.
For those interested in participating, detailed registration information, including costs, rules, and prizes, can be obtained by contacting the organizers at 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by sending an email to tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional information is available on the official website.
Assisting in the success of the event, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, provided financial support to cover some of the event’s expenses. Participants can also register on the day of the event, or pre-register at Pesca del Mar Outdoors located in Ensenada or at Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Looking ahead, the state competition will continue with two more rounds 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. Successful anglers will secure their chance to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship in Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco, on September 19-20.
