Cabo Fishing Report - FISHING DATA SNAPSHOT Charter Detail Recorded Information Charter Detail Recorded Information Date July 13, 2023 Captain Jorge Boat 43' Riviera Blue Sky Guests 2 Accommodation Esperanza Charter Length 8 Hours Departure 6:15 AM Return 2:15 PM Catch 2 Marlin + 1 Dorado Marlin Released 2 Dredge Included Meals Breakfast + Lunch An Eight-Hour Cabo Charter Expands the Available Fishing Window Offshore The additional time provided by an eight-hour charter can become important when offshore fish are moving and the captain needs flexibility to search beyond the areas accessible during a shorter trip. Captain Jorge had from 6:15 AM until 2:15 PM to work with Howard's group. That extended window gave the Blue Sky crew time to evaluate conditions, search different water and remain offshore when productive opportunities developed. With only two guests aboard the 43' Riviera, the charter also offered a spacious private environment throughout the day. Breakfast and lunch were included, allowing Howard's group to remain comfortable while the crew concentrated on fishing. Captain Jorge Works the Yacht and Dredge Into a Focused Fishing Strategy A dredge was incorporated into the offshore program during the charter. Dredges are used to imitate a concentrated school of bait behind the yacht, creating additional visual attraction below the surface. When properly presented, the moving profile can attract the attention of marlin and other offshore predators. The dredge remains only one part of the strategy. Captain positioning, trolling speed, bait location, current and crew execution all contribute to whether an interested fish eventually becomes a hookup. Captain Jorge worked with Aron, Alex and Ulises throughout the eight-hour charter, providing Howard's group with an experienced team aboard Blue Sky. Two Marlin Give the Cabo Charter a Memorable Yacht Highlight The two marlin became the defining encounters of the trip. Cabo San Lucas is internationally associated with billfish, and experiencing two marlin during the same private charter gave Howard's group a strong offshore result. Both fish were successfully released. Blue Sky Cabo operates as a marlin and billfish release company, making responsible release an established part of the charter process rather than a decision made only after a fish reaches the boat. The goal is to enjoy the fight and experience while returning the marlin to the water. For Howard's group, successfully releasing two marlin created two significant billfish encounters during the same eight-hour day. A Dorado Adds Variety to the Yacht Experience and Fishing Report The dorado added a second species to the day's catch and provided a different offshore encounter from the marlin. Dorado are immediately recognizable because of their brilliant green, yellow and blue coloration. They are also known for speed, surface activity and energetic fights that can make them exciting fish to encounter on a private charter. The combination of marlin and dorado gave the two guests species variety rather than a day focused entirely on one type of fish. That variety is one of the advantages of allowing Captain Jorge enough time to continue searching and adjusting throughout an eight-hour offshore trip.

Water temperature was around 80°F, while winds were generally in the 8–12 mph range. The moon was in a waning crescent phase with approximately 20% illumination. Historical weather provides useful context for the charter, but the catch itself depends on many additional factors, including bait concentrations, currents, fish movement, presentation and the decisions made by the captain and crew.
