A large dorado became the highlight of a five-hour afternoon charter for Richard, Shelly, April, Anthony and Kevin aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar.
The group headed offshore into warm July water looking for active summer game fish. Their afternoon ultimately produced one quality dorado and the fast, energetic fight that makes this species such a popular target around Cabo San Lucas.
Searching Productive Water While Fishing Around Cabo
Summer conditions can create opportunities for several offshore species, but locating the right combination of water, bait and current remains important.
Captain Oscar monitored the conditions while working through offshore water, looking for signs capable of identifying a productive area.
Dorado frequently associate with floating debris, weed lines, bait concentrations and current edges. Once located, they can turn a quiet trolling session into immediate action.
The group's large dorado provided exactly that change in pace.
Once hooked, the fish delivered the quick runs and energetic fight characteristic of the species before eventually being brought to the boat.

Large Dorado Highlights the Cabo Fishing Charter
Dorado are one of the most recognizable offshore game fish found around Cabo.
Their brilliant green, yellow and blue coloration can be spectacular when a fish first reaches the boat, but their popularity among anglers is equally connected to the way they fight.
A hooked dorado can make fast runs, change direction quickly and sometimes take to the air.
That combination made the large fish caught on July 24 the clear centerpiece of this afternoon charter.
A five-hour trip also requires efficient use of fishing time. Unlike an eight- or ten-hour charter, the captain has less opportunity to make a major long-range move if productive water is located farther offshore.
Captain Oscar therefore had to work with the available conditions and concentrate the group's fishing effort where the signs were strongest.
An Afternoon Dorado Encounter
For Richard, Shelly, April, Anthony and Kevin, the result was a straightforward but memorable summer fishing experience: five hours aboard Blue Water and one large dorado.
Not every successful offshore charter needs a long list of species.
Sometimes one quality fish provides the battle everyone remembers.
On July 24, that fish was a large dorado that rewarded the group's afternoon effort and became the defining catch of their private charter with Captain Oscar.
