**Rosarito Prepares for the “El Bebé” Fishing Tournament on March 30th**
Rosarito is gearing up to host the first round of Baja California’s state fishing competition at “Playa El Bebé” this Sunday, March 30th. This exciting event promises to attract a sizable crowd after last year’s successful turnout of nearly 150 anglers from across the state and Southern California. The tournament is a key part of the Baja California state fishing competition calendar and is organized by the Baja California Fishing Clubs Association with support from the Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda’s administration. The event is hosted by TJ Fishing Club, with Nemesio Salazar Vázquez and Omar Reyes Moreno at the helm.
The competition marks the first in a series of three selective beach fishing tournaments leading up to the State Championship. Festivities will begin early, with registration opening at 5:00 AM, and the official fishing starting at 7:00 AM. By 1:00 PM, participants are expected to have completed their weigh-in. There will be prizes for different categories including children’s, women’s, mojarra, and other species. Attendees can also look forward to raffles and local fish delicacies.
For those interested in taking part, registration details, costs, rules, and prize information can be obtained by calling 664 493 6014 or 664 339 9173, or by emailing tjfishingclub@gmail.com. More information is also available on their official website. Registration can be completed on the day of the tournament or in advance at Pesca del Mar Outdoors in Ensenada or Fishing Crew Store in La Gloria.
Victor Hugo Méndez, head of Sport Fishing at SEPESCA BC, has also provided financial backing to aid in covering event expenses. Following this event, anglers can look forward to the next two rounds of the competition on April 27th at Sunset Beach in Ensenada and on July 20th at Playa El Pabellón in San Quintín, organized by Pioleros del Valle de San Quintín.
Top performers from these events will earn an opportunity to represent Baja California in the VI National Beach Sport Fishing Championship scheduled for September 19-20 at Playa Manzanilla, Jalisco.
