Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

July **hidden content** Marlin Released, 2 Dorado, 4 Bonito Released – Cabo Fishing Report Date: July 19, 2023 | Species: Marlin, Dorado, Bonito | Volume: 7 Fish Catch breakdown: 1 marlin released | 2 dorado | 4 bonito released Three species and seven recorded fish made Brad's eight-hour trip aboard the 35' Riviera Blue Water a varied summer fishing day rather than a charter dominated by one species. Captain Oscar departed F Dock at 6:00 AM with four guests from the Houston area. Eight hours later, the fishing record contained a billfish encounter, two dorado and four bonito. Cabo Fishing Report - FISHING DATA SNAPSHOT Detail Recorded Result Date July 19, 2023 Total Fish 7 Marlin 1 – Released Dorado 2 Bonito 4 – Released Boat 35' Riviera Blue Water Captain Oscar Guests 4 Main City Houston, Texas Charter Length 8 Hours Departure 6:00 AM Return 2:00 PM Lunch Included for 4 Seven Fish Across Three Species Define This Cabo Fishing Charter The number alone doesn't fully explain this charter. Seven fish were recorded, but they came from three distinctly different species. That matters because catching seven examples of one species creates a different day from encountering a marlin, dorado and bonito during the same offshore session. Brad's group experienced the latter. The four bonito brought one style of action. Two dorado introduced another. Then there was the marlin—the fish capable of turning an ordinary moment offshore into the centerpiece of the entire charter. A Released Marlin Becomes the Cabo Yacht Fishing Highlight One marlin was caught and released. Blue Sky Cabo practices billfish release, allowing the experience of fighting one of Cabo's signature gamefish while returning it to the offshore environment. A marlin encounter also changes the pace aboard a boat. What begins as trolling and searching can become immediate coordinated action once a billfish enters the presentation or takes a bait. Captain and crew must manage the boat while the angler manages a fish capable of powerful runs and rapid changes in direction. For Brad's group, the marlin provided that experience before being released. Dorado and Bonito Expand the Fishing Variety From This Cabo Yacht The two dorado provided a strong visual contrast to the billfish encounter. Dorado are famous for brilliant coloration, often displaying intense combinations of yellow, green and blue. Their speed and surface activity make them particularly entertaining for other guests watching from the boat. Four bonito added another layer to the catch record. The bonito were released, leaving Brad's charter with six recorded fish outside the marlin encounter: two dorado and four bonito. The variety is what makes this historical report useful when looking back at Cabo's July fishing activity. HISTORICAL CONDITIONS Condition Historical Context Early Air Temperature ~81°F Afternoon Air Temperature ~89°F Water Temperature ~80°F Season Summer Moon Waxing Crescent Fishing Window 6:00 AM–2:00 PM Eight Hours Give Captain Oscar More Cabo Fishing Time From the Yacht Brad's group booked a full eight-hour charter. The practical advantage of additional charter time isn't a guaranteed catch number. It is flexibility. Captain Oscar had from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM to work with whatever conditions developed offshore. A shorter charter can require returning while opportunities are still developing farther from the marina. An eight-hour schedule gives the captain more room to continue searching, react to changing activity or work an area when fish are present. On July 19, that extended window ultimately produced three different species. Four Houston Guests Experience a Full Cabo Yacht Charter Brad's group consisted of four guests from the Houston area, with lunch included for everyone. A four-person party is small enough to keep the charter personal while still allowing several guests to participate as different fishing opportunities develop. The species variety made that particularly relevant on this trip. The group wasn't simply repeating the same type of fight. Bonito, dorado and marlin each brought different characteristics to the day. By the scheduled 2:00 PM return, Blue Water had completed the full eight-hour offshore window.

Brad's group didn't depend on one isolated bite. Seven fish were recorded across three species, including one of the gamefish most closely associated with Cabo San Lucas. The marlin was released, the four bonito were released, and two dorado completed the catch record. For anglers researching July fishing in Cabo, the report provid
