Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

Cabo Fishing Report – Marlin and Wahoo in Cabo San Lucas September 4, 2026 1 Marlin and 1 Wahoo During an Eight-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter September fishing in Cabo San Lucas delivered two very different offshore game fish for a group of 12 anglers visiting from Atlanta, Georgia. Fishing aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky with Captain Luis, the group completed its eight-hour charter with one marlin and one wahoo. The trip fished from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM, providing a full day to explore offshore water and adjust the approach as conditions developed. Water temperature was approximately 84°F, creating the warm September environment associated with a variety of pelagic species around Cabo.

Marlin are one of the signature offshore targets associated with Cabo San Lucas. Their strength, endurance and ability to fight near the surface can turn a single hookup into one of the biggest moments of a fishing trip. Wahoo deliver another type of excitement. Speed is what separates them from many other offshore species. A strike can happen suddenly, followed by an aggressive first run that requires the angler and crew to respond quickly. Catching both species during the same eight-hour trip gave the Atlanta group two distinct offshore battles instead of repeatedly targeting or catching only one type of fish.

Instead, the strength of the trip was its species variety, with a marlin and wahoo providing very different encounters during the same charter. Warm September Water Around Cabo San Lucas Water temperature was approximately 84°F during the charter. Warm offshore water is an important part of September fishing around Cabo because multiple pelagic species may be present within the broader region. Finding fish still requires observation and adjustment throughout the day. Offshore conditions are constantly changing as bait and predators move. Useful signs the crew can watch for include: Concentrations of baitfish Birds working above the water Visible surface activity Current boundaries Changes in water conditions A full eight-hour charter provides time to search for these indicators and continue working productive water when activity is located.

That extra time matters because offshore fishing rarely follows a fixed schedule. An area that appears quiet earlier in the trip can change as bait moves, currents shift or predators become more active. Rather than relying on one short period of activity, an eight-hour charter gives the crew more opportunities to locate fish and adjust tactics during the day. On September 4, those opportunities eventually produced encounters with two prized offshore species. Marlin and Wahoo Highlight the September Fishing Day For the 12 anglers visiting from Atlanta, the final numbers tell only part of the story. The marlin supplied the billfish experience for which Cabo San Lucas is internationally known. The wahoo brought a completely different combination of speed and aggressive offshore action. With approximately 84°F water, warm air temperatures and eight hours available to search offshore, the charter provided a strong example of the variety possible during September fishing in Cabo San Lucas. The final result was straightforward but memorable: one marlin, one wahoo and two distinctly different offshore fishing experiences during a single Cabo charter.
