Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

Cabo Fishing Report – 120-Inch Blue Marlin Released Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours 35' Riviera Blue Water – Cabo Fishing Report July **hidden content** Blue Marlin Released, 120 Inches – Cabo Fishing Report Jonathan and one additional guest boarded the 35' Riviera Blue Water on July 15, 2023 for a six-hour private afternoon charter with Captain Oscar. The itinerary was designed to combine offshore fishing with a sunset cruise celebrating the birthday of Jonathan's companion. Blue Water departed at 1:30 PM and returned at 7:30 PM. During the fishing portion of the trip, the guests encountered a blue marlin measuring approximately 120 inches. The fish was successfully released in keeping with Blue Sky Cabo's established billfish-release policy.

Jonathan and his companion wanted to spend part of the afternoon fishing while also preserving the evening portion of the charter for a birthday sunset cruise. That required Captain Oscar to make effective use of the fishing window available before the focus of the experience shifted toward sunset. The result exceeded the expectations of an ordinary combination trip when Blue Water encountered a substantial blue marlin. Captain Oscar Uses the Yacht to Create a Productive Afternoon Fishing Window Afternoon charters require different planning from trips that depart around sunrise. Conditions may have changed considerably by early afternoon, and the captain must account for wind, currents, bait movement, daylight and the amount of time allocated to other parts of the itinerary. Captain Oscar had six total hours aboard Blue Water, but the charter was not intended to devote the entire period exclusively to fishing. Despite that limitation, the afternoon search produced a significant blue marlin encounter. For two guests aboard a private 35' Riviera, the experience demonstrated one of the advantages of a customized charter. The day could include serious offshore fishing without eliminating the birthday and sunset portion that made the trip personally important to the guests. A 120-Inch Blue Marlin Gives This Cabo Charter a Memorable Yacht Encounter The blue marlin became the defining event of the afternoon. At approximately 120 inches in length, the fish represented a substantial offshore encounter and provided Jonathan's group with the opportunity to experience the power of one of Cabo San Lucas's premier billfish species. Blue marlin are capable of strong runs, demanding fights and dramatic surface behavior, making each encounter memorable regardless of whether the charter is focused exclusively on fishing or forms part of a broader day on the water. The fish was successfully released. Blue Sky Cabo operates as a marlin and billfish release company, allowing guests to enjoy the experience of fighting these fish while returning them to the ocean. A Birthday Evening Turns the Yacht Experience Into More Than a Fishing Report Once the offshore fishing portion was complete, the charter could transition toward the second purpose of the day. The six-hour schedule continued into the evening, giving Jonathan and his companion time aboard Blue Water as the afternoon moved toward sunset. For a birthday celebration, the combination created two distinctly different experiences during one private charter. The excitement of encountering and releasing a 120-inch blue marlin could be followed by a more relaxed evening on the water. That flexibility is particularly valuable for couples and small groups who want to combine fishing with another Cabo experience rather than booking separate outings.
