September 29, 2026 – Marlin & Sailfish – 2 Billfish Released A strong six-hour Cabo charter aboard the 35' Riviera Blue Water put Dennis and his group of three anglers into two different billfish species on September 29. Captain Oscar found the productive water approximately two miles off Whale’s Head, where the group caught and released one marlin and one sailfish. Fishing Data Snapshot Date: Sept. 29, 2026 | Species: Marlin + Sailfish | Volume: 2 Billfish Boat: 35' Riviera Blue Water | Captain: Oscar | Guests: 3 Charter: 6 Hours | Departure: 7:30 AM | Return: 1:30 PM Marlin: 1 Released | Sailfish: 1 Released | Released: 2 of 2 Location: Whale’s Head | Distance: ~2 Miles Offshore | Technique: Trolling Equipment: Dredge | Departure: F Dock | Marina: IGY Marina Cabo Conditions – September 29 Water: ~87.8°F | Air: ~82°F AM → ~90°F Midday | Humidity: ~66% Wind: ~12 Knots SSW Early | Moon: Waning Gibbous | Illumination: ~91% Sunrise: ~6:10 AM | Sunset: ~6:08 PM | Season: Warm-Water Billfish The location of the bite was an important part of this charter. With only six hours available, Captain Oscar did not need to spend a large portion of the morning running toward distant offshore banks. Productive water was approximately two miles off Whale’s Head, allowing Blue Water to put the trolling spread to work relatively quickly. Dredge Fishing Outside Whale’s Head The dredge was incorporated into the trolling program to create a larger subsurface bait presentation behind Blue Water. Warm water approaching 88°F provided classic late-September conditions around the tip of Baja California Sur. Oscar concentrated on the nearby zone instead of running past water that was already showing potential. The marlin provided the first major billfish encounter. Once the fish committed to the presentation, the group experienced the fight before the crew worked the marlin alongside the Riviera. It was successfully released. The sailfish brought a different style of action. Sailfish are capable of quick acceleration, rapid direction changes and aerial displays, making them a very different opponent despite belonging to the same broader billfish category. That fish was also successfully released. Six Hours of Cabo Fishing The charter ran from 7:30 AM until 1:30 PM with three anglers aboard. One of the advantages on this particular morning was efficiency. Finding suitable water approximately two miles offshore meant more of the available charter window could be devoted to trolling and working the productive zone. Environmental conditions were firmly on the warm side. Water was approximately 87.8°F, morning air temperatures were in the low 80s and temperatures increased toward approximately 90°F later in the trip. The moon remained bright at roughly 91% illumination in its waning-gibbous phase, while early winds were around 12 knots from the south-southwest. Captain Oscar's decision to concentrate on the Whale’s Head area resulted in two distinct billfish encounters during a six-hour trip, with both fish returning to the water.

Cabo Dorado Fishing Report – Multiple Dorado Aboard Blue Water September 22, 2026 – Multiple Dorado Caught Cody spent September 22 offshore aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar, using an eight-hour charter to search for productive water and mobile pelagic gamefish. The offshore search produced multiple dorado during a full fishing day departing from F Dock at Cabo San Lucas Marina. Cabo Charter Statistics and Fishing Results Charter Date: September 22, 2026 | Charter Length: 8 Hours Departure: 6:00 AM | Return: 2:00 PM Boat: Blue Water – 35' Riviera | Captain: Oscar Angler: Cody – Vancouver, B.C. | Species: Dorado Catch: Multiple Dorado | Fishing Style: Offshore Trolling Dredge: Included | Lunch: Included Departure Dock: F Dock, IGY Marina | Target Water: Offshore Cabo Dorado Fishing Requires an Active Search Dorado don't necessarily remain in one location throughout the day. Captain Oscar could use the eight-hour charter to evaluate changing offshore conditions while searching for indicators such as bait, birds, current edges, floating material and differences in water clarity. A dredge was incorporated into the trolling presentation, creating additional subsurface movement designed to imitate a concentration of bait. That offshore search eventually connected Cody with multiple dorado. Cabo Fishing Results at a Glance Fishing Statistic Result Charter Statistic Result Primary Catch Dorado Charter Time 8 Hours Catch Result Multiple Boat Length 35' Anglers 1 Captain Oscar Fishing Style Trolling Dredge Included Departure 6:00 AM Return 2:00 PM Lunch Included Departure Dock F Dock Dorado are particularly exciting trolling targets because the strike can quickly turn into an active fight. Strong runs, sudden changes of direction and surface jumps are all characteristic of the species. For a solo angler, multiple dorado meant Cody had plenty of direct fishing involvement throughout the charter. Cabo Offshore Fishing Benefits From Eight Hours Additional time doesn't guarantee fish, but it gives a captain more options. Dorado and marlin grounds can sometimes be 30–45 minutes from Cabo San Lucas Marina, and travel time must also be reserved for the trip back to the dock. An eight-hour schedule therefore creates a larger window for Captain Oscar to search different water, respond to changing conditions and remain with productive activity when fish are found. That flexibility was valuable on September 22. Cody's day combined a capable 35-foot Riviera, Captain Oscar's offshore search strategy, a dredge trolling presentation and sufficient charter time to continue looking until the crew connected with dorado. The result was multiple dorado aboard Blue Water. Ready to fish Cabo San Lucas? Check availability and book your Blue Sky Cabo fishing charter directly through FishingBooker.

Cabo Marlin Fishing Report – Five Marlin Released at Los Arcos September **hidden content** Marlin Released A return customer with one specific target, eight hours aboard a 35-foot Riviera and productive water around Los Arcos combined for an excellent Cabo billfish charter on September 19. Brian returned to Blue Sky Cabo and was joined by Hans and Matthew aboard Blue Water with Captain Oscar. Their request was straightforward: target marlin. Charter Date: September 19, 2026 | Charter Length: 8 Hours Departure: 6:00 AM | Return: 2:00 PM Boat: Blue Water – 35' Riviera | Captain: Oscar Anglers: Brian, Hans & Matthew | Fishing Area: Los Arcos Species Caught: Marlin | Marlin Released: 5 Dredge: Complimentary | Departure: F Dock, IGY Marina Water Temperature: Approx. 88°F | Moon: Waxing, approx. 61% Cabo Waters and Fishing Strategy at Los Arcos With marlin established as the priority before departure, Captain Oscar could build the day around billfish rather than searching for a mixed-species catch. Blue Water worked the Los Arcos area while the crew maintained a trolling presentation that included a complimentary dredge. The dredge creates subsurface movement resembling a concentration of bait. It becomes one component of a larger trolling strategy designed to attract the attention of offshore predators. The first marlin confirmed the group had found productive water. What followed made the charter exceptional. Captain Oscar continued working the area while the crew repeatedly reset the presentation and prepared for additional opportunities. Brian, Hans and Matthew eventually experienced five successful marlin encounters. All five fish were released. Charter Snapshot Fishing Result September 19 Target Species Marlin Marlin Caught 5 Marlin Released 5 Anglers 3 Fishing Area Los Arcos Charter Time 8 Hours Boat 35' Riviera Release Result 100% Cabo Marlin Fishing Rewards a Full-Day Commitment An eight-hour charter was particularly useful because Brian wasn't simply hoping to catch anything available. He wanted to pursue marlin. Longer charter time gives the captain greater flexibility to follow changing offshore conditions and continue working productive water. September sea temperatures were approximately 88°F during this period, creating very warm offshore conditions. Captain Oscar also had to consider bait movement, currents, water clarity and visible activity throughout the trip. By the 2:00 PM return, Blue Water had accomplished exactly what the anglers requested. Five marlin had been caught. Five marlin had been released. For a returning customer who specifically came back wanting billfish, September 19 became a memorable Los Arcos marlin day.

Cabo Fishing Report – Large Tuna and Marlin Release August 28, 2026 1 Large Tuna Caught and 1 Marlin Successfully Released A full eight-hour fishing charter in Cabo San Lucas produced two premier offshore species for Bill, Candace, Graham and Audrey from Bellevue, Washington. Fishing aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar, the group finished the day with one large tuna caught and one marlin successfully released. The charter ran from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM, providing Captain Oscar and the crew with a substantial offshore fishing window. By the end of the trip, the anglers had experienced two completely different battles—one defined by the deep strength of a tuna and the other by the speed and athleticism of a marlin. Cabo Fishing Charter Statistics Charter Detail Recorded Information Charter Detail Recorded Information Catch 1 Large Tuna, 1 Marlin Total Game Fish 2 Boat Blue Water – 35' Riviera Captain Oscar Guests 4 Anglers Home City Bellevue, Washington Charter Length 8 Hours Fishing Time 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM Tuna Caught Marlin Successfully Released Departure Cabo San Lucas Marina Trip Type Offshore Fishing Species Caught 2 Species Variety Tuna and Marlin Large Tuna Delivers the Power The large tuna became one of the defining moments of the charter. Tuna fishing provides a very different challenge from fighting a billfish. Once hooked, a strong tuna can use speed, body weight and deep water to its advantage. The fight can become a sustained contest requiring steady pressure and patience from the angler. Boat positioning and communication also become increasingly important as the battle develops. Captain Oscar and the Blue Water crew converted the opportunity and successfully brought the tuna aboard. August 28 Cabo Fishing Results Species Number Charter Result Tuna 1 Caught Marlin 1 Successfully Released Total 2 Two Game Fish The numbers are simple, but the combination is significant because tuna and marlin provide such different offshore experiences. Marlin Adds a Completely Different Fight After experiencing the strength of the tuna, the group also connected with a marlin. Marlin can bring speed, rapid directional changes and dramatic surface activity into the fight. That creates a sharp contrast with the deep pulling power commonly associated with tuna. Successfully fighting and releasing the marlin added an important conservation element to the charter while allowing the anglers to experience one of the species most closely associated with Cabo San Lucas sportfishing. Why Eight Hours Can Matter Offshore A longer charter provides the captain with additional time to search for productive water and respond to changing conditions. During an offshore fishing day, the crew may be watching for: Working birds and concentrated bait Surface activity from game fish Changes in currents or water appearance Productive trolling areas Signs of feeding pelagic species An eight-hour window gives the boat more flexibility to investigate these signs rather than depending on one fishing area or a short period of activity. Cabo Charter Results Grid Fishing Detail Result Fishing Detail Result Fishing Duration 8 Hours Anglers 4 Tuna 1 Caught Marlin 1 Released Species Total 2 Game Fish Total 2 Start Time 6:00 AM Return Time 2:00 PM Tuna and Marlin Complete a Diverse Cabo Fishing Day For Bill, Candace, Graham and Audrey, the August 28 charter offered considerably more variety than simply catching two fish. The tuna delivered the strength and endurance that make these fish respected by offshore anglers. The marlin supplied a faster and more visual billfish encounter before being successfully released. Experiencing both during one eight-hour trip aboard Blue Water gave the group two distinctly different examples of offshore fishing in Cabo San Lucas. By the 2:00 PM return, the final result was one large tuna caught, one marlin released and two memorable game-fish battles during a single Cabo fishing charter.

Cabo Fishing Report – Yellowfin Tuna and Huge Blue Marlin August 12, 2026 Charter Length: 8 Hours | Boat: Blue Water – 35' Riviera 6 Yellowfin Tuna Caught and 1 Huge Blue Marlin Caught Six yellowfin tuna and a huge blue marlin made August 12 an exceptional offshore fishing day for Abbi and Hunter from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Fishing aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar, the two anglers experienced repeated tuna action before a large blue marlin added the biggest battle of the charter. By the end of eight hours, the pair had fought seven game fish representing two of Cabo's most exciting offshore species. Cabo Fishing Charter Statistics Charter Detail Recorded Information Charter Detail Recorded Information Catch 6 Tuna, 1 Blue Marlin Total Game Fish 7 Boat Blue Water – 35' Riviera Captain Oscar Anglers Abbi and Hunter Home City Eau Claire, Wisconsin Charter Length 8 Hours Species Tuna and Blue Marlin Water Temperature Approx. 87.8°F Air Temperature Approx. 90°F Morning Wind Approx. 5–7 Knots Offshore Swell Approx. 1.3 Meters Wave Period Approx. 16 Seconds Game Fish Total 7 Six Yellowfin Tuna Keep the Anglers Busy Catching one yellowfin tuna can provide a demanding fight. Catching six during the same charter created a completely different level of activity for two anglers. Yellowfin tuna combine speed with sustained pulling strength. Once hooked, these fish can make powerful runs and force an angler to maintain pressure throughout the fight. For Abbi and Hunter, the repeated tuna encounters meant teamwork became increasingly important as the day progressed. August 12 Fishing Results Species Number Fishing Result Yellowfin Tuna 6 Caught Blue Marlin 1 Caught Total Game Fish 7 Two Species Six tuna would have made this a successful Cabo fishing day on their own. The arrival of a huge blue marlin changed the character of the charter completely. Huge Blue Marlin Becomes the Defining Battle After already fighting multiple tuna, Abbi and Hunter faced their biggest challenge when a large blue marlin entered the action. Blue marlin bring a different combination of size, power and athleticism to offshore fishing. A hookup can produce rapid acceleration, long runs and dramatic surface action. The timing made the encounter even more demanding. The anglers had already spent considerable energy fighting yellowfin tuna before having to find another level for the marlin. That contrast—repeated tuna battles followed by a huge blue marlin—became the defining story of the eight-hour trip. Warm August Fishing Conditions in Cabo The offshore water was approximately 87.8°F, with air temperatures around 90°F. Morning winds were approximately 5–7 knots before increasing later in the day. Captain Oscar and the crew could continually watch for productive offshore indicators such as: Concentrations of baitfish Working or diving birds Surface activity Current boundaries Changes in water appearance The offshore swell was approximately 1.3 meters with a long wave period of about 16 seconds.

The six yellowfin tuna supplied repeated action and plenty of hard fights. Then the huge blue marlin delivered a completely different challenge and became the highlight of an already productive charter. By the end of eight hours aboard Blue Water, Abbi and Hunter were tired but had experienced the kind of species combination that makes August fishing in Cabo San Lucas memorable: six yellowfin tuna, one huge blue marlin and seven game fish during a single offshore charter.
