Our heartfelt acknowledgement to Sportfishing Association of California (SAC), the San Diego Rotary, and the Ensenada Rotary participated in the 21st Annual Fish Across the Border event in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico on January 11 and 12.

Anglers fishing aboard San Diego-based sportfishing vessels were given the opportunity to donate tuna catches to the project.

According to a post on the SAC web page  the program has been going on for twenty years. According to the post, “All three organizations join forces each January to spend an evening bagging thousands of cans of food with truck pallets of tuna from the San Diego fishing fleet at the Ensenada Rotary warehouse.  The bags, and a mountain of blankets, are then divided into a dozen trucks and staged for the following mornings trek into the outlying areas of Ensenada.  Approximately sixty volunteers from the Rotary Organizations and SAC then drive to poverty stricken areas and shelters to distribute the food.”

This is a great program, and Inventive Fishing salutes SAC and the Rotary Clubs for their generous work.

FISH ON!
