Pisces Fleet Weekly update from August 1-7, 2025
From exciting Blue Marlin battles to Giant Yellowfin Tuna, to the delicate art of inshore fishing, the Cabo scene proved itself a haven for fishing adventures this week. Each boat, whether large or small, carried its own stories of camaraderie, skill, and triumph back to the docks, leaving the anglers exhilarated and hungry for the next expedition.
As the week ended, the waters around Cabo continued to offer excitement and variety for anglers of all skill levels, and not just in one area, but in multiple fishing spots and banks. Each boat and crew in the Pisces Fleet, whether large or small, made a name for itself and, in doing so, made the name Pisces a legend as well.
