Get your rods ready! The much-anticipated “Dos Mares Baja” International Sportfishing Tournament is dropping anchor this weekend in Bahía de los Ángeles, promising not just adventure on the water, but over 500,000 pesos in guaranteed prizes.
Organized under the administration of Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda and promoted by the Baja California Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture (SEPESCA BC), this event is reeling in teams from Southern California and across the state.
Alma Rosa García Juárez, head of SEPESCA BC, confirmed strong pre-registration numbers and emphasized the positive economic impact the tournament will have on the local community. Expect a weekend boost for hotels, restaurants, boat rental services, and more.
