Cabo Fishing Report – Marlin and Dorado Action in Cabo San Lucas August 15, 2026 Charter Length: 8 Hours | Boat: Blue Star – 32' Luhrs 3 Marlin Released and 1 Small Dorado Released Three experienced anglers from Dallas, Texas enjoyed an active eight-hour offshore fishing charter aboard Blue Star with Captain Chewy. Chris, Logan and Dakota finished the day with four game fish encounters: three marlin and one small dorado, with all four fish successfully released. The trip demonstrated the quality of Cabo's warm-water billfish action during August. With approximately 89.6°F water offshore, Captain Chewy continually worked changing conditions rather than depending on one location or one opportunity.

This charter produced three separate marlin encounters. Each fish gave the anglers another opportunity to experience the combination of strength, speed and surface action that makes marlin such an important part of Cabo sportfishing. Captain Chewy continually evaluated the offshore environment while searching for productive water. Current direction, bait movement, water color and bird activity can all provide clues about where predators may be feeding. The strategy ultimately produced three marlin, and all three were successfully released. August 15 Fishing Results Species Number Charter Result Marlin 3 All Released Dorado 1 Released Total Game Fish 4 100% Released The small dorado added a second species to the day's action. Because of its size, it was also released, allowing the fish to continue growing in Cabo's offshore ecosystem. Dorado Adds Another Species to the Charter Dorado offer a very different fight from marlin. They are known for rapid acceleration, aggressive strikes, brilliant coloration and unpredictable movements near the surface. Finding one during a day already producing multiple marlin gave the anglers another example of the variety available in Cabo's warm August water. The decision to release the small dorado meant every game fish encountered during the charter returned to the water. Extremely Warm August Water Water temperature was approximately 89.6°F. Air temperatures were in the mid-to-upper 80s during the morning before becoming hotter later in the day. Conditions were hot and humid with periods of sunshine and tropical cloud cover. During an eight-hour charter, the crew has time to search for changing offshore indicators, including: Bait concentrations Working birds Current boundaries Water-color changes Surface activity Having additional fishing time can become particularly useful when marlin are scattered or when the crew needs to reposition as conditions develop.

With four game fish, two species and eight hours aboard the 32-foot Blue Star, the final result was a memorable late-summer fishing day in Cabo San Lucas: three marlin released and one dorado released.

Cabo Fishing Report – 80-Pound Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado August 29, 2026 1 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado During a Six-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter A family from White Plains, New York enjoyed a productive late-August fishing trip aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Chewy. Edit, Julio, Isabella and Kennedy spent six hours fishing the warm waters around Cabo San Lucas and finished the charter with two quality pelagic fish. The standout catch was an approximately 80-pound yellowfin tuna. A 20-pound dorado added a second species and brought the estimated combined weight of the two fish to approximately 100 pounds. Cabo Fishing Charter Statistics Charter Detail Recorded Information Charter Detail Recorded Information Catch 1 Tuna, 1 Dorado Total Game Fish 2 Boat Blue Star – 32' Luhrs Captain Chewy Guests 4 Anglers Home City White Plains, NY Charter Length 6 Hours Tuna Weight Approx. 80 lbs Water Temperature Approx. 88°F Dorado Weight Approx. 20 lbs Wind Approx. 9–12 mph Combined Weight Approx. 100 lbs Air Temperature Approx. 84°F → Upper 80s Weather Clouds and Sunshine An 80-Pound Yellowfin Tuna Becomes the Main Event The yellowfin tuna was the defining fish of this Cabo charter. At approximately 80 pounds, this was a substantial tuna requiring much more than a quick fight. Yellowfin are powerful swimmers built for sustained speed and endurance. Larger fish can make hard initial runs before settling into the deeper stages of the battle. Captain Chewy and the crew helped the anglers maintain pressure while keeping the boat positioned during the fight. Successfully bringing the tuna aboard turned one offshore opportunity into the biggest catch of the family's morning. August 29 Catch Results Species Approx. Weight Result Yellowfin Tuna 80 lbs Caught Dorado 20 lbs Caught Combined Catch 100 lbs 2 Game Fish The numbers show why the tuna became the centerpiece of the trip, but the dorado provided valuable species variety during a relatively compact six-hour fishing window. Dorado Adds Color and Speed to the Cabo Fishing Day The approximately 20-pound dorado created a very different offshore experience. Dorado are known for rapid acceleration, aggressive strikes and brilliant coloration. Once hooked, they can produce quick runs and aerial action that contrast sharply with the sustained strength of a large yellowfin tuna. Catching both species allowed the family to experience two distinct styles of Cabo fishing during the same morning. Warm August Conditions Around Cabo Water temperature was approximately 88°F, with air temperature beginning around 84°F and climbing into the upper 80s. Winds were approximately 9–12 mph under a mixture of clouds and sunshine. Captain Chewy could continually watch the surrounding water for signs that might reveal productive areas, including: Concentrations of baitfish Working birds Current seams Surface disturbances Floating structure or debris These observations are particularly valuable during a six-hour charter because making productive use of the available fishing time matters.

The 80-pound yellowfin delivered the strength and endurance associated with larger tuna, while the 20-pound dorado brought speed, color and a completely different fight. Approximately 100 pounds of combined fish during a six-hour charter made this a productive family outing aboard Blue Star and another example of the species variety available during late-summer fishing in Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo Fishing Report – August 7, 2026 – Tuna and Dorado 1 Large Tuna and 1 Dorado Caught Charter Date: August 7, 2026 Charter Length: 6 Hours Boat: 32' Luhrs Blue Star Captain: Chewy Catch: 1 Large Tuna and 1 Dorado August 7 produced a quality two-species fishing day for Payam, Daniel, Gavin and Grace aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star. The family headed out with Captain Chewy for a six-hour private charter and returned with two very different offshore game fish — one large tuna and one dorado. Rather than being a numbers-driven day, this charter was highlighted by variety. The tuna provided the heavier, more powerful battle, while the dorado added the speed and brilliant coloration associated with one of Cabo's most recognizable offshore species. Searching Productive Water While Fishing Offshore From Cabo A six-hour charter provides a useful balance between fishing time and offshore range. Captain Chewy was able to search beyond the immediate marina area while still keeping the trip comfortable for a family that included 10-year-old Daniel. Conditions were warm during the August charter. The original fishing record reported water temperatures around 83–85°F, air temperatures around 90–92°F and relatively light winds. Finding productive water remained the objective. When the large tuna entered the action, the family experienced the strength that makes tuna such a popular offshore target. These fish can remain deep during a fight, using their power and endurance against the angler. The dorado offered a completely different encounter. Dorado are fast, energetic game fish recognized immediately by their bright coloration. Catching one on the same charter as a quality tuna gave the group two contrasting examples of Cabo's summer fishery.

For Daniel, at 10 years old, the charter offered an opportunity to see firsthand how an offshore fishing trip develops. There can be periods of searching followed by sudden action when a game fish finds the presentation. That unpredictability is part of offshore fishing. Once a fish is hooked, the atmosphere aboard the boat changes immediately. The crew manages the equipment and fishing area while the angler concentrates on the fight and everyone else gets to watch the encounter develop. On August 7, the family experienced that process with two different species. Tuna and Dorado Complete a Six-Hour Cabo Charter By the end of the six-hour trip, Payam, Daniel, Gavin and Grace had put together a simple but memorable fishing result. One large tuna provided the heavyweight encounter. One dorado added another quality game fish to the day. The result demonstrated that a productive Cabo charter does not necessarily require a large number of fish. Two quality catches from different species can provide plenty of action and give visiting anglers a better appreciation for the variety available in the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. For this family, August 7 became a day built around warm summer conditions, six hours together on the Pacific and two distinctly different offshore catches.

Cabo Fishing Report – July 30, 2026 – Large Tuna 1 Large Tuna Caught Charter Date: July 30, 2026 | Charter Time: 8:00 AM Charter Length: 6 Hours | Boat: Blue Star – 32' Luhrs Captain: Chewy | Catch: 1 Large Tuna Anglers: Jose, Holly, Alfred, Curtis and Lucas | Home City: Sacramento Water Temperature: Approximately 78°F | Air Temperature: Approximately 90°F July 30 produced a quality tuna encounter for Jose, Holly, Alfred, Curtis and 14-year-old Lucas aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Chewy. The Sacramento group spent six hours offshore, with one large tuna becoming the defining catch of their family fishing experience. Searching for Tuna While Fishing Around Cabo The crew worked productive offshore water throughout the charter, maintaining the trolling presentation while looking for additional opportunities. Water temperature was reported around 78°F. Afternoon air temperatures reached approximately 90°F, with moderate winds creating active Pacific conditions. Finding offshore tuna requires attention to what is happening across the water rather than simply following a predetermined route. Crews may watch for concentrations of bait, birds, surface activity, current boundaries and other signs capable of revealing where feeding fish are moving. The search ultimately produced the opportunity the family wanted. A large tuna entered the action.

Approx. 78°F Air Temp. Approx. 90°F Anglers 5 Home City Sacramento Catch Snapshot Species Caught Tuna 1 Total Game Fish 1 A Large Tuna Creates the Cabo Fishing Highlight Once hooked, tuna provide a very different battle from many surface-oriented game fish. Their strength is often directed downward, producing sustained runs and periods of heavy pressure below the boat. Maintaining consistent pressure becomes important as the fight develops. For a mixed family group, a quality tuna encounter also creates a team experience. While one angler handles the rod, everyone aboard can follow the fight as the captain and crew position the boat and manage the surrounding fishing equipment. For 14-year-old Lucas, the trip offered the opportunity to experience offshore fishing alongside his family. The large tuna ultimately became the fish everyone aboard would remember. One Quality Fish Defines a Six-Hour Charter Fishing success is not always best measured by the number of fish brought alongside. On July 30, the Blue Star charter produced one game fish, but it was a substantial tuna capable of turning a single hookup into the centerpiece of the entire six-hour experience. Jose, Holly, Alfred, Curtis and Lucas shared the offshore search, the anticipation of the strike and the battle that followed. Their day demonstrated how one quality tuna can transform a family charter into a memorable Pacific fishing experience.
