Returning Texas Anglers Catch Marlin and Bonita During Six-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter
A returning group of six anglers from the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas area enjoyed a successful morning of Cabo San Lucas sportfishing on March 18, 2024, aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters.
Adam Smith, Rebecca Smith, Kaitlynne Hafer, Britney Zavala, Penny Brackett and Jesse Brackett departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM for a six-hour private fishing charter that finished with one marlin and four bonita.
What made this trip particularly interesting was the group's approach to fishing. Before arriving in Cabo, Adam explained that everyone was happy catching different species and enjoying their time offshore. Marlin would be welcome, but the group wasn't interested in spending the entire morning searching for billfish if other opportunities were available.
By noon, they had caught five fish representing two species.

A Marlin Highlights the Morning
Despite the group's relaxed approach to targeting billfish, the morning produced one marlin, adding an exciting catch to their March Cabo fishing experience.
March is traditionally an active period for striped marlin fishing around Cabo San Lucas. These powerful game fish are among the primary attractions for visiting offshore anglers.
For Adam and his group, catching a marlin was an excellent bonus rather than the sole purpose of the trip.
The recorded catch confirms one marlin but does not specify the exact species or size.
Four Bonita Add to the Cabo Fishing Action
Alongside the marlin, the six anglers caught four bonita, completing the morning's five-fish total.
Bonita are fast-swimming members of the tuna family that can provide energetic fights on sportfishing tackle.
Although they don't receive the same attention as marlin, dorado or yellowfin tuna, bonita contribute to the variety of species encountered around Cabo San Lucas.
For this group, the additional catches were especially welcome because their original preference was to enjoy whatever fishing opportunities developed.
Dredge Fishing Aboard the Riviera Blue Sky
The March 18 charter included a dredge teaser, a piece of offshore fishing equipment designed to resemble a moving school of baitfish behind the vessel.
Dredges are commonly used to attract the attention of predatory game fish, including marlin.
The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky provided the group with a private sportfishing platform and flybridge, matching Adam's preference for a Riviera-style fishing yacht.
The available charter details confirm that a dredge was included but do not identify which fish, if any, were attracted by its use.
Six Hours of Cabo Sportfishing with Friends and Family
The charter ran from 6:00 AM until noon, giving Adam, Rebecca, Kaitlynne, Britney, Penny and Jesse a full morning together on the water.
Their final catch of one marlin and four bonita demonstrated the benefits of remaining open to different fishing opportunities.
Rather than concentrating entirely on one species, the group enjoyed a mixed catch during their return visit to Cabo San Lucas.
This March 18, 2024 outing adds another verified fishing result to Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters' historical reports, documenting the vessel, charter duration, participating anglers and fish caught.
