Cabo Waters and Fishing Strategy at Los Arcos
With marlin established as the priority before departure, Captain Oscar could build the day around billfish rather than searching for a mixed-species catch.
Blue Water worked the Los Arcos area while the crew maintained a trolling presentation that included a complimentary dredge.
The dredge creates subsurface movement resembling a concentration of bait. It becomes one component of a larger trolling strategy designed to attract the attention of offshore predators.
The first marlin confirmed the group had found productive water.
What followed made the charter exceptional.
Captain Oscar continued working the area while the crew repeatedly reset the presentation and prepared for additional opportunities. Brian, Hans and Matthew eventually experienced five successful marlin encounters.
All five fish were released.

Cabo Marlin Fishing Rewards a Full-Day Commitment
An eight-hour charter was particularly useful because Brian wasn't simply hoping to catch anything available. He wanted to pursue marlin.
Longer charter time gives the captain greater flexibility to follow changing offshore conditions and continue working productive water.
September sea temperatures were approximately 88°F during this period, creating very warm offshore conditions. Captain Oscar also had to consider bait movement, currents, water clarity and visible activity throughout the trip.
By the 2:00 PM return, Blue Water had accomplished exactly what the anglers requested.
Five marlin had been caught.
Five marlin had been released.
For a returning customer who specifically came back wanting billfish, September 19 became a memorable Los Arcos marlin day.
