Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

Cabo Fishing Report – 5 Marlin Released Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours 43 Foot Riviera – Cabo Fishing Report December 18, 2023 Five anglers joined together aboard the 43' Blue Sky Riviera for a shared afternoon charter from Cabo San Lucas. What began as an opportunity to share a quality boat and offshore experience turned into an exceptional billfish afternoon, with five marlin caught and all five successfully released. The group included Dave and Nolan as part of the shared charter arrangement. With approximately five and a half hours available, the crew had a productive window to locate billfish and convert those opportunities into successful encounters.

December 18 aboard Blue Sky developed differently. The first marlin established that billfish were available, but rather than treating that encounter as the defining moment, Captain Luis and the crew continued working. The trolling spread went back into position and the search resumed. Another marlin provided the next opportunity. Then another. By the time the afternoon developed, the charter had become a sequence of billfish encounters rather than a day built around one isolated strike. For five anglers sharing the boat, that created an especially active experience. Each new fish brought the group back into the action as the crew prepared the equipment and Captain Luis positioned the Riviera for the fight. Shared Anglers Shape This Offshore Fishing Report A shared charter offers a different dynamic from a private trip involving one family or group of friends. The anglers may begin the day without knowing everyone aboard, but fishing has a way of creating a common purpose quickly. When a marlin enters the spread, everyone watches. When the fish is hooked, attention shifts toward the angler. And when a successful release is completed, the entire boat shares the moment. On this afternoon, that process happened repeatedly. The day's results were impressive: 5 marlin caught 5 marlin successfully released 5 anglers aboard Every marlin encountered during the charter was returned to the Pacific. Afternoon Conditions Support Productive Cabo Fishing A noon departure also creates a different offshore experience from leaving Cabo San Lucas Marina at sunrise. The group began fishing during the warmest portion of the day and continued through the afternoon as temperatures gradually eased toward sunset. Captain Luis and the crew worked the available window rather than depending on an early-morning bite. The dredge was incorporated into the trolling program, helping create a larger bait presentation behind Blue Sky. Once a marlin encounter was completed, the crew needed to clear, reorganize and reset the presentation before returning to the search. Five successful encounters meant repeating that process throughout the afternoon. Five Anglers Build a Memorable Cabo Charter Report With five anglers aboard the 43' Riviera, the charter provided enough room for everyone to follow the action while sharing a serious offshore fishing platform. The approximately five-and-a-half-hour duration also made the catch particularly notable. This was not a ten-hour long-range trip with an entire day available to accumulate opportunities. Blue Sky left around noon and returned near 5:30 PM. Within that window, the group encountered five marlin. That meant the afternoon produced roughly one successful marlin encounter for every angler aboard, although the real accomplishment was the collective experience rather than assigning individual fish. Successful Releases Complete This Fishing Report As Blue Sky headed back toward F Dock, the final result was easy to appreciate. Five anglers had shared an afternoon aboard the 43' Riviera. Five marlin had been caught. And all five marlin had been successfully released. For Captain Luis and the Blue Sky crew, the afternoon required repeatedly transitioning from searching to fighting fish, completing the release and rebuilding the trolling presentation. For the guests, it produced a Cabo afternoon dominated by one of the destination's signature game fish. Five anglers. Five marlin. Five successful releases during an afternoon aboard the 43' Blue Sky Riviera. Cabo Fishing Report – Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours | December 18, 2023 | Blue Sky – 43' Riviera |
