Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

Cabo Fishing Report – Marlin and Dorado Action in Los Cabos August 20, 2026 1 Marlin Released and 1 Dorado Caught During a Cabo Fishing Charter A productive August fishing day in Cabo San Lucas gave the anglers aboard Blue Sky the opportunity to experience two very different offshore game fish. Fishing with Captain Luis aboard the 43-foot Riviera, the charter produced one marlin and one dorado. The marlin was successfully released after the fight, while the dorado was brought aboard. With warm summer water surrounding Cabo, the two-species result provided a good example of the variety anglers can encounter during August.

Marlin fishing can change the pace of an offshore trip almost instantly. Once hooked, these powerful billfish are capable of fast runs, sudden directional changes and dramatic surface activity. Successfully fighting a marlin requires communication between the angler, captain and crew. Boat positioning can help maintain a productive line angle while the angler works to gradually bring the fish closer. After the battle, the marlin was successfully released, completing one of the signature fishing experiences associated with Cabo San Lucas. August 20 Fishing Results Species Number Result Marlin 1 Successfully Released Dorado 1 Caught Total Game Fish 2 Two Species Rather than producing multiple fish of the same species, the charter delivered variety with one billfish and one additional warm-water pelagic species. Dorado Adds a Different Kind of Cabo Action The dorado gave the anglers an entirely different fishing experience. Dorado are known for aggressive strikes, quick acceleration and brilliant colors. They can also become highly active near the surface once hooked, sometimes producing jumps and sudden changes in direction. That contrasts with the size and power associated with fighting a marlin. Experiencing both species during the same charter meant the fishing day was not defined by a single type of battle. The marlin supplied the billfish encounter, while the dorado added another classic warm-water Cabo species to the catch. Searching Cabo's Summer Offshore Water August is part of Cabo's warm-water fishing season, when crews can encounter several pelagic species during the same offshore trip. Finding productive areas still depends heavily on what is happening in the water on that particular day. Captain Luis and the crew could watch for indicators such as: Concentrations of bait Working or diving birds Surface activity Current boundaries Floating structure or debris These signs can help identify areas where predators may be actively feeding.

The marlin provided the power, speed and visual excitement of a classic Cabo billfish encounter before being released. The dorado contributed a completely different style of fast-moving offshore action. For the anglers aboard Blue Sky, the final result was simple but diverse: one marlin successfully released, one dorado caught and two distinctly different offshore fishing experiences during a summer day in Cabo San Lucas.
