Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – July 26, 2026 – Bull Dorado 1 Bull Dorado Caught Charter Date: July 26, 2026 | Charter Time: 8:00 AM Charter Length: 6 Hours | Boat: Blue Star – 32' Luhrs Captain: Chewy | Catch: 1 Bull Dorado Total Game Fish: 1 | Species Caught: Dorado Anglers: Westin, Madison and Brittany | Dredge: Used Charter Type: Private | Conditions: Changing Pressure, Slower Bite July 26 presented Captain Chewy and three anglers aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with a challenging offshore fishing window. Westin, Madison and Brittany headed out on a six-hour private charter just before changing conditions resulted in a port closure. Fish activity was slower, but the crew stayed persistent and eventually put the group on one impressive bull dorado. Adapting to Changing Conditions While Fishing Around Cabo Offshore fishing conditions can change quickly. Current, bait movement, water temperature, wind and atmospheric pressure can all influence where game fish are located and how aggressively they feed. That made flexibility particularly important on July 26. Captain Chewy continued searching productive water and adjusting the approach rather than remaining committed to an area that was not producing. The Blue Sky Cabo dredge was also incorporated into the trolling presentation. A dredge is an underwater attraction device designed to create the appearance of a concentrated school of baitfish. Its movement and visual profile can help attract larger predatory fish toward the trolling spread. Despite the slower activity, persistence eventually produced the opportunity the group needed.

Dorado are among the most recognizable offshore game fish because of their vivid coloration, aggressive strikes and energetic fighting style. A bull dorado can make powerful runs and rapid changes in direction, transforming a slow fishing period into fast action within seconds. This fish did exactly that. After spending the charter adapting to difficult conditions, the crew's persistence was rewarded with a substantial dorado and a memorable battle for the anglers. Six Hours of Offshore Fishing on Blue Star The July 26 charter is also a good example of why offshore fishing cannot be judged solely by the number of fish caught. Some days provide multiple hookups in quick succession. Others require the captain and crew to search, adjust and work through changing conditions to create a single quality opportunity. This was the second type of day. Captain Chewy and the crew stayed with the program despite reduced fish activity, and Westin, Madison and Brittany were ultimately rewarded with a bull dorado. One quality game fish became the defining moment of six hours aboard Blue Star and demonstrated how quickly persistence can change an offshore fishing day.

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.

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 – 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.

Three marlin provided three separate billfish battles, while the small dorado added another warm-water species to the experience. Most importantly, every fish was successfully released. 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 – 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.
