Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

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.

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.

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.
