Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – 1 Dorado, 1 Wahoo and 2 Skipjack Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours 35 Foot Riviera – Cabo Fishing Report December 15, 2023 A family group from the Edmonton, Alberta area headed onto the Pacific aboard the 35' Blue Water Riviera for a four-hour afternoon charter. The group included five adults and one 10-year-old child, although Rory and Rylan were the guests focused on fishing. There was also a specific request before departure: the young guest wanted to catch a mahi-mahi. By the end of the afternoon, Blue Water had delivered exactly that opportunity with one dorado, along with one wahoo and two skipjack. Cabo Charter Details and Fishing Conditions Date: December 15, 2023 | Boat: 35' Blue Water Riviera | Captain: Blue Water Crew Guests: 6 | Guest Home Area: Edmonton, Alberta | Charter Length: 4 Hours Departure: 12:00 PM | Return: 4:00 PM | Catch: 1 Dorado, 1 Wahoo, 2 Skipjack Skipjack Released: 2 | Primary Target: Mahi-Mahi / Dorado | Technique: Offshore Trolling Departure Dock: F Dock | Marina: IGY Marina | Location: Cabo San Lucas Air Temperature: ~82°F → 81°F | Water Temperature: ~73°F | Wind: ~9 mph Swell: ~2–4 ft | Moon: Waxing Crescent | Moon Illumination: ~11% Dorado Delivers the Highlight of This Cabo Report For this family, the dorado carried more meaning than simply adding another fish to the day's total. The 10-year-old guest had specifically wanted a mahi-mahi, another name for dorado. That gave the crew aboard Blue Water a clear objective as the 35' Riviera left Cabo San Lucas Marina. With only four hours available, fishing time mattered. The crew needed to get the presentation working efficiently and capitalize on opportunities as they developed. Finding the requested dorado turned the child's goal into part of the day's story. Dorado are especially memorable for younger anglers because of their brilliant colors, aggressive strikes and energetic fights near the boat. Wahoo Brings Speed to the Offshore Fishing Report The charter also produced one wahoo, giving the family another quality Cabo game fish. Wahoo provide a noticeably different experience from dorado. They are built for speed and are known for explosive strikes and powerful initial runs. Catching both species during the same four-hour afternoon trip gave the group two very different offshore encounters. Two skipjack added further action and were released. The catch included: 1 dorado 1 wahoo 2 skipjack released Four fish representing three species created excellent variety during a relatively short afternoon charter. Four Hours Creates Focused Cabo Fishing Action A shorter charter requires a different strategy from an eight- or ten-hour offshore trip. There is less time available for extended searches, making efficient decisions particularly important. The captain and crew must evaluate conditions, recent activity and signs on the water while protecting enough time for guests to actually fish. Once Blue Water reached productive water, the group began getting opportunities. The dorado fulfilled the young guest's original request, the wahoo provided another prized offshore species, and the two skipjack kept the action moving. For a family charter, variety can be every bit as memorable as the final number of fish. Edmonton Family Experience Shapes This Cabo Report The afternoon was about more than simply accumulating catches. Five adults and one child shared the 35' Riviera, while Rory and Rylan concentrated on the fishing. Having a 10-year-old aboard gave the charter an additional family dimension. The request for mahi-mahi provided the crew with a simple objective, and catching one created a natural highlight. The wahoo added another exciting encounter, while both skipjack were returned to the water. For visitors from the Edmonton area, it became a compact introduction to the variety available in the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. Three Species Complete This Fishing Report By 4:00 PM, Blue Water was returning to Cabo San Lucas after four productive hours. The family had encountered four fish representing three species. One dorado delivered the requested mahi-mahi. One wahoo added speed and another prized game fish. Two skipjack provided additional action before being released. For a four-hour afternoon charter, the trip demonstrated how quickly a fishing day can develop when several species are active. One dorado. One wahoo. Two skipjack released. Six guests from the Edmonton area aboard the 35' Blue Water Riviera.

Originally scheduled for eight hours, the family extended their fishing trip to ten hours, allowing Captain Oscar and the crew to continue working the productive Pacific fishing grounds near the Cabo Lighthouse and Los Arcos. Their afternoon featured four gamefish strikes, including an exciting sailfish doubleheader.

The fish was successfully hooked and brought alongside Blue Water, where it was released following the crew's billfish conservation practices. The trolling spread featured natural ballyhoo, artificial squid lures, and Blue Sky Cabo's tournament dredge system, designed to attract offshore predators by creating the appearance of schooling baitfish. Cabo Fishing Charter Encounters Sailfish Doubleheader At approximately 4:30 PM, the crew encountered two sailfish approximately four miles offshore from Los Arcos. 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.
