Returning anglers Bob and Alison headed offshore for another Blue Sky Cabo charter on September 16, and their decision to fish a second time during the same vacation produced an exceptional result.

Cabo Marlin Fishing Develops Near San Cristóbal
Bob and Alison weren't first-time guests. They had already been fishing with Blue Sky Cabo earlier in their vacation and chose to head offshore again.
Their original booking was for five hours, but a complimentary additional hour extended the charter until noon.
That extra time gave Captain Luis a six-hour window to search and continue working productive water.
The crew concentrated its efforts near San Cristóbal. A dredge was incorporated into the trolling presentation, adding subsurface movement designed to imitate concentrated bait behind the boat.
The first marlin established that billfish were present.
The important part was what happened afterward.
Instead of treating one successful encounter as the defining moment of the morning, Captain Luis continued working the area while the crew rebuilt the trolling presentation after each fish.
More opportunities followed.
By noon, Bob and Alison had experienced five successful marlin catches.
Every marlin was released.

Five marlin for two anglers created repeated billfish opportunities during a relatively compact six-hour charter.
The release result was equally important: five caught and five returned to the Pacific.
Cabo September Fishing Features Warm Water
Conditions around Cabo during mid-September included very warm water, with sea-surface temperature around 88.5°F.
Morning air temperature was approximately 79°F and increased toward 90°F by noon. The moon was a waxing crescent at roughly 32.6% illumination.
Those numbers provide useful context, but conditions alone don't locate marlin.
Captain Luis still had to evaluate current direction, bait movement, water clarity and visible activity while deciding where to position Blue Sky.
Productive offshore water can change quickly, which is one reason two charters during the same vacation can deliver completely different experiences.
Cabo Marlin Fishing Ends With Five Releases
Blue Sky Cabo releases marlin, and every fish caught during this charter was returned to the water.
For Bob and Alison, their decision to book another fishing day resulted in considerably more than simply repeating their first experience.
This was a new morning, a different set of offshore conditions and a five-marlin result near San Cristóbal.
At noon, Blue Sky headed back toward Cabo San Lucas Marina.
The final statistics summarize the charter clearly: two returning anglers, six hours aboard a 43-foot Riviera, five marlin caught and five marlin released.
