Cabo Fishing Report – October **hidden content** Marlin Caught and Released 60' Bertram Blue Sea – Captain Alex – 8-Hour Charter – 7 Guests – 100% Marlin Release October **hidden content** Marlin Caught and Released – Cabo Fishing Report Five marlin caught and successfully released made October 10, 2023, an exceptional day aboard the 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours. Bailey, Chris, Logan, Misty, Kade, Cresson, and Rylee enjoyed an eight-hour private sportfishing charter with Captain Alex while vacationing at Hotel Riu Palace Baja California in Cabo San Lucas. The seven-person group departed F Dock at IGY Marina at 9:00 AM and returned at 5:00 PM. Their reservation included a specialized dredge system, lunch for the passengers, Michelob Light, and additional limes. All five marlin were released, producing a 100% catch-and-release rate. Cabo Fishing Report - FISHING DATA SNAPSHOT Date: October 10, 2023 | Day: Tuesday | Boat: 60' Bertram Blue Sea Captain: Alex | Duration: 8 Hours | Passengers: 7 Departure: 9:00 AM | Return: 5:00 PM | Dock: F Dock Species: Marlin | Total Caught: 5 | Released: 5 Retained: 0 | Release Rate: 100% | Charter: Private Lead Guest: Chris | Co-Lead: Misty | Hotel: Riu Palace Baja California Dredge: Included | Lunch: Included | Refreshments: Michelob Light, Extra Limes Marina: IGY Marina | Location: Cabo San Lucas | Region Association: Texas Marlin Species: Not Recorded | Fishing Ground: Not Recorded | Successful Bait: Not Recorded October Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Eight Hours Offshore An eight-hour private charter offers anglers additional time to pursue offshore game fish and adapt their fishing strategy as conditions change. For this group of seven, the 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea provided a spacious yacht for a full-day fishing experience. The guests were staying at Hotel Riu Palace Baja California and had arranged their fishing reservation with lunch and beverage preferences documented in advance. The eight-hour schedule allowed the group to enjoy the offshore experience before returning to IGY Marina during the late afternoon. The exact fishing grounds and individual strike times were not recorded. Marlin Cabo Fishing Report – Five Successful Releases Marlin are among the most sought-after offshore game fish around Cabo San Lucas. Their powerful runs, impressive size, and challenging fights make them a major attraction for visiting sportfishing enthusiasts. The southern Baja California peninsula offers opportunities to encounter different marlin species during the year. The original charter record identifies the catch as marlin but does not confirm whether they were striped, blue, or black marlin. Every recorded fish was released. This outstanding result highlights the importance of catch-and-release fishing for billfish conservation. Dredge Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Specialized Offshore Equipment The charter included a dredge system designed to imitate a concentrated school of baitfish beneath the surface. Dredges are used as part of offshore trolling spreads to attract predators and create visual activity around fishing presentations. Effective dredge fishing involves careful attention to trolling speed, teaser positioning, baitfish activity, and crew coordination. The reservation confirms that dredge equipment was included, but the successful bait or lure was not documented. Blue Sea Cabo Fishing Charter – Guests from Texas-Associated Regions Chris and Misty coordinated the reservation for their group, which also included Bailey, Logan, Kade, Cresson, and Rylee. The guests' telephone area codes are associated with western and north-central Texas, including Midland-Odessa and Fort Worth. These associations do not establish their verified residences. The group's accommodation at Hotel Riu Palace Baja California was separate from the charter departure location at F Dock, IGY Marina. The combination of a larger private yacht, an eight-hour schedule, included lunch, and specialized fishing equipment provided a well-organized setting for their offshore adventure.

Book the trip and trust the captain! ? Don’t worry if it’s your first time—they’ll make you feel like you’ve been fishing your whole life. Bring sunscreen, good energy, and be ready to get humbled by a fish stronger than you. ?? Cancun fishing was an absolute blast and definitely something I’d do again!

Start with a half day, easier with 2-3 people in your group. Prepare for the sun, pay attention to the deck hand, and tip the crew whether you catch fish or not.
