Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – July 24, 2026 – Large Dorado 1 Large Dorado Caught Charter Date: July 24, 2026 | Charter Time: Afternoon Charter Length: 5 Hours | Boat: Blue Water – 35' Riviera Captain: Oscar | Catch: 1 Large Dorado Total Game Fish: 1 | Species Caught: Dorado Anglers: Richard, Shelly, April, Anthony and Kevin | Charter Type: Private Water Temperature: Approximately 79–86°F | Wind: Approximately 10 Knots 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.

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.

Their afternoon featured four gamefish strikes, including an exciting sailfish doubleheader.

One sailfish attacked a natural ballyhoo, while the second struck a 5.5-inch green-and-yellow squid lure. The first sailfish was successfully landed and released. The second escaped before reaching the vessel. Two simultaneous strikes required coordinated line management and careful boat positioning, creating an exciting moment for Kyle and his children. Cabo Fishing Charter Lands Yellowfin Tuna Near Los Arcos The family's final landed fish arrived at approximately 5:30 PM. A yellowfin tuna struck a Petrolero squid lure while trolling approximately five miles offshore from Los Arcos.

Cabo Fishing Report – October **hidden content** Dorado Caught Blue Sky Cabo – 35' Riviera Blue Water – Captain Oscar – 1 Dorado Caught October **hidden content** Dorado Caught – Cabo Fishing Report Bobby, a solo angler from Clarksville, Tennessee, enjoyed an eight-hour private fishing charter aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar on October 10, 2026. Staying at Solmar Resort in Cabo San Lucas, Bobby upgraded from the 32-foot Blue Star to the larger Riviera Blue Water for a dedicated offshore fishing experience. His charter produced one dorado caught using deck bait near San Cristobal. Marlin were also observed in the same area, although no strikes occurred. Cabo Fishing Charter – A Private Trip for One Angler Bobby originally booked the 32-foot Blue Star before upgrading to the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water. The charter departed F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM, with a scheduled return at 2:00 PM. His primary fishing objective was blue marlin, making the eight-hour charter an opportunity to concentrate on offshore billfish. With only one passenger aboard, Captain Oscar and the crew could dedicate their attention to Bobby's fishing experience. Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Dorado at San Cristobal The confirmed catch occurred near San Cristobal along Cabo's Pacific coastline. Bobby successfully caught one dorado using deck bait. Dorado, also called mahi-mahi, are recognized for their colorful appearance and energetic fighting ability. Although marlin were observed nearby, they did not strike the fishing presentations. The booking did not identify the observed marlin species, so the sightings cannot be confirmed as blue marlin. The day's official catch remained one dorado.
