What a week the Pisces Fleet has had braving the swells and reeling in some impressive catches. They fished under clear skies, with various species deciding if they wanted to take a bite of the anglers’ bait and chum, making it an exciting fishing trip for every fisherman aboard. It was thrilling to see so many different fish in action. The air was warm, the sun shone brightly, and most returned to the dock with that Cabo tan.  Most days, the water temperature was around 72 to 74 degrees, and the air temperature was close, from 70 to 75. This was heaven for all the visitors from different parts of the US and Canada who were thrilled to arrive in Mexico.
