The Hammer Down Fishing Tournament was held the weekend of October 12th, 2019. 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.
This year there were 18 boats in the tournament and Rescate de San Carlos is very grateful for the very generous share of the profits that was donated to our cause. Other groups that received donations from this tournament are the San Carlos Foundation, San Carlos Rotary, Guaymas Lions, and several other San Carlos and Guaymas organizations.
