Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

Cabo Fishing Report – 1 Marlin Released Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours 43 Foot Riviera – Cabo Fishing Report December 19, 2023 Four guests from the Atlanta, Georgia area stepped aboard the 43' Blue Sky Riviera for a five-hour morning charter from Cabo San Lucas. The group had originally been scheduled aboard the 35' Blue Water Riviera but received an upgrade to the larger 43' Blue Sky for their morning on the Pacific. The charter ultimately came down to one significant opportunity: one marlin hooked, fought and successfully released.

With four people aboard, the larger Riviera provided considerable room for everyone to move around, follow the fishing activity and enjoy the ride offshore. The boat left F Dock around 7:00 AM with five hours available. A shorter morning charter places a premium on efficiency. The crew needs to get the fishing presentation working, evaluate the water and put the boat in position for opportunities without the extended search time available on an eight- or ten-hour trip. On this morning, one opportunity became the entire story. One Marlin Becomes the Fishing Report Highlight Offshore fishing can change in seconds. A trolling spread may work quietly behind the boat until a marlin suddenly appears and transforms the atmosphere aboard. That moment arrived for the Atlanta group. Once the fish committed, the focus shifted immediately to the angler and the fight. Captain Luis managed the position of the 43' Riviera while the crew handled the remaining equipment and kept the cockpit organized. A marlin determines much of what happens next. Direction changes, deeper runs and movement near the surface all require the boat and angler to respond to the fish. The encounter ended exactly as Blue Sky Cabo wanted it to end: with the marlin successfully released back into the Pacific. Five Hours Keeps This Cabo Fishing Experience Focused The morning was never about accumulating a large number of fish. With a 7:00 AM departure and noon return, the group had a defined five-hour window. That makes a quality billfish encounter particularly meaningful. The day's result was straightforward: 1 marlin caught 1 marlin successfully released 4 guests aboard Once the marlin was released, the crew returned to the search and continued working the available fishing time. No additional catch was needed to change what had already happened. The group had experienced one of the encounters most closely associated with offshore fishing in Cabo San Lucas. Atlanta Guests Shape This Cabo Charter Report For four visitors from the Atlanta area, the morning combined the comfort of the upgraded 43' Riviera with a genuine Pacific billfish encounter. The smaller group size also meant everyone aboard could closely follow what was happening when the marlin appeared. There was no crowded rotation of anglers and no complicated catch total. Instead, one fish became the centerpiece of the charter. That simplicity makes this report different from days when several marlin or multiple species dominate the story. Sometimes the defining memory is one strike, one fight and one successful release. Successful Release Completes the Fishing Report By noon, Blue Sky was heading back toward Cabo San Lucas Marina. The group had started the morning with an upgrade from the 35' Riviera to the 43' Blue Sky and finished it having experienced a successful marlin encounter. For a five-hour charter, that provided a clear result. The marlin was caught, brought alongside and returned to the Pacific. Four guests from the Atlanta area. Five hours aboard the 43' Blue Sky Riviera. One marlin caught and successfully released.
