Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

Cabo Fishing Report – 1 Marlin Released Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours 32 Foot Luhrs – Cabo Fishing Report December 13, 2023 Glen and Dan traveled from the Edmonton, Alberta area and boarded the 32' Blue Star Luhrs for a six-hour morning charter from Cabo San Lucas. Their trip produced the encounter many visiting anglers come to Cabo hoping to experience: one marlin caught and successfully released. With only two guests aboard, this was a focused fishing day. The charter departed at 6:00 AM, providing an early start and six hours for the Blue Star crew to search offshore water, work the trolling presentation and capitalize when a billfish opportunity finally developed.

Blue Star carried a dredge presentation, adding another element to the trolling spread as the crew searched for marlin. A dredge is designed to create the appearance of concentrated bait moving behind the boat. Instead of relying on a single lure or bait to attract attention, the presentation adds movement and visual activity beneath the surface. For Glen and Dan, patience eventually paid off. A marlin entered the picture and transformed a morning of searching into a full billfish encounter. One Strike Defines the Fishing Report Marlin fishing doesn't always require multiple bites to create a memorable day. One committed fish can do it. Once the marlin became involved with the presentation, the crew moved from searching to managing the encounter. The angler concentrated on maintaining pressure while the captain controlled Blue Star's position and the deck crew managed the remaining tackle. Every successful marlin fight involves coordination. The fish determines the direction. The captain responds with the boat. The angler works through the runs, changes in pressure and moments when the fish comes closer. Eventually, the marlin was brought under control alongside Blue Star. It was then successfully released back into the Pacific. Two Edmonton Anglers Experience Cabo Fishing With Glen and Dan as the only two guests aboard, the 32' Luhrs offered a very different dynamic from a charter carrying a larger group. There was no need for a complicated angler rotation. Both guests could remain directly involved with the search, watch the trolling spread and follow the crew's movements as conditions developed. When the marlin arrived, the entire charter immediately centered on that fish. The morning's result was simple: 1 marlin caught 1 marlin released 100% of the billfish catch returned to the Pacific The numbers were modest, but the quality of the encounter was significant. Six Hours Provides More Cabo Charter Report Time The six-hour format sits between Blue Sky Cabo's shorter introductory trips and its longer offshore days. Those additional minutes matter when the boat must travel, locate productive water, deploy the trolling presentation and wait for the right fish to respond. Blue Star left at 6:00 AM and had until noon. That gave the crew enough time to work through the morning rather than having the charter defined by the first hour or two of activity. The payoff was the marlin encounter. Once the fish had been successfully released, the result of the trip was established regardless of whether another fish entered the spread. Successful Release Completes the Fishing Report By noon, Glen and Dan were returning toward Cabo San Lucas Marina with a straightforward fishing story to take back to Alberta. Two anglers had left F Dock before much of Cabo's morning activity had begun. They spent six hours aboard the 32' Blue Star Luhrs, fished a dredge-assisted offshore trolling presentation and encountered one of the species most closely associated with Cabo San Lucas. Most importantly, the fish swam away. For this December charter, success wasn't measured by the number of fish brought to the dock. It was one quality encounter followed by the outcome Blue Sky Cabo seeks with marlin: a successful release. Two guests from the Edmonton area. Six hours aboard the 32' Blue Star Luhrs. One marlin caught and successfully released.
