This exciting tournament, sanctioned as part of the official calendar of SEPESCA BC, has noteworthy support from Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration, along with organization by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association. The hosting duties this year have been undertaken by the TJ Fishing Club, spearheaded by Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno.
Participants will gather early, with registration commencing at 5:00 AM, followed by the official start at 7:00 AM. Enthusiasts have until 1:00 PM for their catches to be weighed in, with prizes awarded across several categories such as mojarra, women’s, children’s, and more. Raffles and locally-sourced food will add to the festive atmosphere.
Fisher folk interested in diving into the competitive waters or learning more can reach out for details on registration and rules by contacting 664 493 6014, or via email at tjfishingclub@gmail.com. Additional information is available on their website.
In a nod of support, Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has provided financial assistance to help with organizing costs.
