Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – 1 Marlin Released Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours 32' Luhrs Blue Star – Cabo Fishing Report July 8, 2023 Christian and Kristal left Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 AM on July 8, 2023 for a six-hour private charter aboard the 32' Luhrs Blue Star. The two guests were visiting from the Anaheim, California area and staying at Grand Solmar. Captain Jorge led the morning charter. Before their scheduled noon return, the search produced one marlin, which was successfully released. Cabo Fishing Charter Statistics Date: July 8, 2023 | Boat: 32' Luhrs Blue Star | Captain: Jorge Main City: Anaheim, California | Guests: 2 | Charter Length: 6 Hours Departure: 6:00 AM | Return: 12:00 PM | Trip Type: Private Morning Charter Catch: 1 Marlin | Released: 1 Marlin | Release Rate: 100% Hotel: Grand Solmar | Location: Cabo San Lucas | Season: Summer Cabo Report Historical Fishing Conditions Air Temp: ~79°F → 86°F | Water Temp: ~79°F | Wind: ~8–12 mph Moon: Waning Gibbous | Moon Illumination: ~69% | Season: Summer Fishing Window: 6:00 AM–12:00 PM | Primary Species: Marlin | Guests: 2 Fishing Report Starts Early With Captain Jorge Christian and Kristal had six hours available for their private Cabo fishing trip. Captain Jorge departed with the couple aboard Blue Star at 6:00 AM. The early start meant the boat could begin searching during the cooler morning period while still having enough charter time to adjust if the first areas did not produce. That flexibility matters offshore. Fish move with bait, current and changing water conditions. Captains may need to leave one area and search another rather than continuing to fish unproductive water. On this morning, the search eventually paid off. Cabo Fishing Produces a Marlin Encounter One marlin changed the character of the trip. The moment a billfish enters the action, the crew's focus shifts immediately toward managing the tackle, positioning the boat and helping the angler through the fight. For a two-person private charter, there is no unrelated group waiting for a turn. The experience belongs to the two guests. Christian and Kristal could enjoy the encounter together as Captain Jorge and the crew worked through the fight. The marlin was ultimately released. Fishing Report Records a Responsible Release Blue Sky Cabo is a marlin and billfish release company. Releasing the fish does not mean losing the memory of the catch. Modern fiberglass reproductions can be created from photographs and measurements, allowing an angler to display a representation of the fish without requiring the actual marlin to be killed. That approach gives guests both sides of the experience. They can fight one of Cabo's signature gamefish and watch it return to the ocean afterward. Christian and Kristal's July 8 marlin was successfully released. Cabo Report Documents July Conditions The charter took place during a warm Cabo summer morning. Historical conditions indicate air temperatures near 79°F around the early departure before warming toward approximately 86°F later in the morning. Water temperature was around 79°F. Morning winds were approximately 8–12 mph. The moon was in a waning gibbous phase with approximately 69% illumination. These conditions provide context for the historical record, while Captain Jorge's job remained finding fish within the available six-hour window. Fishing Report Shows the Six-Hour Advantage Blue Sky Cabo offers private charter durations designed for different types of guests and fishing goals. A five-hour trip provides a shorter introduction. Six hours adds another hour of searching and fishing without requiring guests to spend the entire day offshore. Eight- and ten-hour charters provide still more range when anglers want to pursue fish farther from Cabo. Christian and Kristal selected the middle ground. Their 6:00 AM departure and noon return provided a substantial morning on the water while leaving the afternoon open. For vacationers staying at Grand Solmar, that schedule can make it easier to combine fishing with other Cabo activities on the same day. Cabo Fishing Connects Anaheim With Blue Star Historical fishing reports are most useful when they preserve the details behind the catch. This July 8 trip records two guests from the Anaheim, California area aboard the 32' Luhrs Blue Star. Captain Jorge led the six-hour morning. One marlin was encountered. One marlin was released. Christian and Kristal returned at noon with a Cabo fishing story that could be described in only a few numbers: Two guests. Six hours. One marlin. One successful release. Christian and Kristal completed their six-hour private charter aboard the 32' Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Jorge and successfully released one marlin.

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. Cabo Fishing Charter Statistics Charter Detail Recorded Information Charter Detail Recorded Information Catch 1 Tuna, 1 Dorado Total Game Fish 2 Boat Blue Star – 32' Luhrs Captain Chewy Guests 4 Anglers Home City White Plains, NY Charter Length 6 Hours Tuna Weight Approx. 80 lbs Water Temperature Approx. 88°F Dorado Weight Approx. 20 lbs Wind Approx. 9–12 mph Combined Weight Approx. 100 lbs Air Temperature Approx. 84°F → Upper 80s Weather Clouds and Sunshine An 80-Pound Yellowfin Tuna Becomes the Main Event The yellowfin tuna was the defining fish of this Cabo charter. 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.
