After a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hammer Down Fishing Tournament was held October 8 – 10, 2021. This tournament is the amalgamation of the Labor Day Invitational Tournament, established in 1984 by Bill and Betty Lou Hammer, and the Cantina Cup. This tournament has contributed over $300,000 USD to charitable institutions in San Carlos and Guaymas over 35 years.
Rescate de San Carlos is extremely grateful for the very generous share of the profits that was donated to our cause this year. It is a huge help to keep our doors open after 18 months without the ability to fundraise!
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the sponsors, the volunteers and all of the anglers!
