Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – September **hidden content** Dorado, 2 Skipjack 35' Riviera – Blue Water – Captain Oscar – 8 Hours – 7 Fish Emily and Nicholas spent eight hours fishing the waters off Cabo San Lucas aboard Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours' 35' Riviera Blue Water, finishing their September 18, 2023 charter with five dorado and two skipjack. Captain Oscar departed F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM with two guests aboard and a full fishing day ahead. This charter also had a personal story behind it. Emily arranged the fishing trip as a surprise for Nicholas while the couple were staying at Marina Fiesta Resort. By their 2:00 PM return, the surprise had turned into a seven-fish Cabo fishing adventure. Cabo Fishing Report - FISHING DATA SNAPSHOT Date: September 18, 2023 | Guests: Emily & Nicholas Boat: 35' Riviera Blue Water | Captain: Oscar Charter: 8 Hours | Passengers: 2 Dorado: 5 | Skipjack: 2 Total Catch: 7 Fish | Primary Catch: Dorado Departure: 6:00 AM | Return: 2:00 PM Lunches: 2 | Departure Dock: F Dock Hotel: Marina Fiesta Resort | Occasion: Surprise for Nicholas Dorado Lead Cabo Fishing Charter Catch Dorado were responsible for five of the seven fish recorded during the charter. For two anglers, five dorado created a productive day aboard Blue Water and gave Emily and Nicholas plenty of exposure to one of the species most closely associated with warm-water Cabo sportfishing. Dorado are fast, aggressive predators known for their spectacular appearance. Their combinations of yellow, green and blue can become particularly vivid when the fish are excited near the boat. Their fighting style adds to their popularity. Dorado can accelerate quickly, change direction and produce exciting surface action. That combination makes them an excellent target for visiting anglers while remaining popular with experienced offshore fishermen. On September 18, they represented more than 70% of Emily and Nicholas's recorded catch. Skipjack Add Cabo Fishing Report Variety Two skipjack brought the final tally to seven fish. Skipjack are powerful for their size and can provide demanding fights, particularly when encountered on appropriately matched tackle. Blue Sky Cabo generally releases skipjack. The original historical charter notes, however, do not document what happened with each individual fish after it was caught. For that reason, this report preserves the original record as two skipjack without assigning an unsupported release count. The documented catch remains: 5 Dorado | 2 Skipjack | 7 Total Fish Boat Change Keeps Cabo Fishing Charter on Schedule Emily and Nicholas were originally scheduled aboard another Blue Sky Cabo vessel. An operational issue required a change before the charter, and the couple were moved to the 35' Riviera Blue Water. That adjustment was particularly important because Emily had planned the fishing trip as a surprise for Nicholas. Instead of allowing the vessel issue to interrupt their day, Blue Sky Cabo used another boat in the fleet to keep the charter moving. Captain Oscar took over aboard Blue Water, and the couple departed for their scheduled eight-hour fishing trip. Lunch was provided for both guests during the full-day charter. The original fishing notes do not identify the exact fishing grounds, lure selection, bait presentation or individual hookup sequence. Those details are therefore not being invented for this historical report. What is documented is a strong result for two anglers: seven fish during eight hours of Cabo fishing.

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. Cabo Fishing Charter Hooks Striped Marlin Near Lighthouse At approximately 3:00 PM, a striped marlin struck a trolling ballyhoo about three miles offshore from the Cabo Lighthouse. 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.
