Prepare for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament in Rosarito on March 30th
Rosarito’s beautiful beach, Playa El Bebé, is set to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition on Sunday, March 30th. With anticipation running high, the event expects a large turnout of enthusiastic anglers. Last year, nearly 150 participants from across the state and Southern California joined in on the fun.
This tournament is part of the official calendar supported by Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration, organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association, and this year the event is hosted by the TJ Fishing Club. Key figures like Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno are spearheading the effort.
The event kicks off at 5:00 AM with registration, followed by the start of fishing at 7:00 AM. All catches will need to be weighed by 1:00 PM for them to qualify, although participants in line by that time will still be eligible.
Prizes will be distributed at the end of the day across various categories, which include children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Additionally, attendees will enjoy raffles and local fish dishes.
Those looking to participate can find details on registration, costs, rules, and prizes by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Further information is also available on their official site.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has extended financial support to help cover event expenses, demonstrating the administration’s commitment to the sport.
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, the next rounds of the state competition will be held at Sunset Beach in Ensenada on April 27th and at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín on July 20th.
The top anglers from these tournaments will get the opportunity to represent Baja California at the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship on September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
In related news, Baja California’s coastline is currently facing a weather alert. Enthusiasts are advised to prepare for strong winds, choppy seas, and cooler temperatures as these conditions are expected to persist during the upcoming days. It is critical for all who plan to participate or attend outdoor events to take necessary precautions.
