July 21, 2023 – Cabo Fishing Report – 1 Dorado, 1 Skipjack Released – 35' Riviera Blue Water – Captain Oscar – 5 Hours – 2 Fish
Evan and two additional guests from the Boise, Idaho area stepped aboard the 35' Riviera Blue Water for a five-hour morning charter on July 21. Captain Oscar departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 AM with a relatively tight fishing window ahead of him.
By the 11:00 AM return, the group had encountered two different species: one dorado and one skipjack, with the skipjack released.

Two Species Build This Cabo Fishing Morning Into a Useful Report
Historical fishing reports become more valuable when they document ordinary charter days alongside exceptional ones.
Evan's July 21 trip is a good example.
There were no inflated numbers and no attempt to turn two fish into something they were not. Three guests fished for five hours and caught two species.
One was a dorado. The other was a skipjack.
That simple record gives future anglers a realistic look at an actual July morning in Cabo San Lucas.
Dorado Creates the Highlight of This Cabo Yacht Charter
The dorado was the primary gamefish recorded during the trip.
Dorado are an important component of Cabo's warm-water fishing season. Their speed, vivid coloration and tendency to fight near the surface make them an exciting target, particularly for visitors experiencing offshore fishing for the first time.
Even one dorado can become the fish everyone aboard remembers.
For Evan's group, it also added variety to a morning that would eventually produce a second species.
Skipjack Adds Another Cabo Charter Dimension to the Fishing
The skipjack provided a different type of fight.
Skipjack are aggressive pelagic fish capable of producing fast strikes and strong runs. They can be particularly entertaining when encountered on appropriately balanced tackle.
Blue Sky Cabo releases skipjack.
After the encounter, the fish was returned to the water, leaving the historical record at one skipjack caught and released.
Captain Oscar Works This Cabo Yacht Into Productive Fishing
Five hours can pass quickly on the water.
Captain Oscar had to account for the run from Cabo San Lucas, time spent searching, actual fishing time and the return trip to the marina.
This is where familiarity with both the vessel and the local fishing environment becomes important.
Captain Oscar operates the 35' Riviera Blue Water, giving him a consistent platform from which to make those decisions.
On July 21, the available window produced two fish before the 11:00 AM return.
A Shorter Cabo Charter Still Creates a Meaningful Fishing Report
A five-hour charter serves a different purpose than an eight- or 10-hour trip.
Longer trips generally provide greater range and more time to adapt if the bite changes. Five hours, however, can be attractive to visitors who want to experience Cabo fishing without dedicating an entire vacation day to the ocean.
Evan's group was underway at 6:00 AM and back around 11:00 AM.
That still provided a complete morning on a private Riviera while leaving much of the afternoon available.
July Warm Water Frames This Cabo Fishing Yacht Record
July sits within Cabo's established warm-water fishing season.
Historical conditions around July 21 indicate water temperatures near 80°F. Morning air temperatures were around the low 80s, with warmer conditions developing as the day progressed.
The moon was in a waxing crescent phase.
Those environmental details help place the trip in context, but the actual fishing result remains the most useful part of the record.
Three guests spent five hours aboard Blue Water with Captain Oscar and encountered two pelagic species.

Evan's July 21 charter demonstrates why a historical fishing archive should contain more than the biggest days.
This was a five-hour trip with three guests, two fish and two species. Captain Oscar worked within a relatively compact morning window, the group encountered a dorado and a skipjack, and the skipjack was released.
That gives future Cabo anglers a genuine data point rather than a generalized promise about what July fishing might produce.
