Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours hosted Joshua's four-person group aboard the 35' Riviera Blue Water for an eight-hour Cabo fishing charter with Captain Oscar that produced an outstanding 16 dorado, including 10 released back into the Pacific.
The charter departed F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:15 AM and returned at 2:15 PM. Lunch was included for the group, and Blue Sky Cabo's fish-attraction dredge was added to the day's fishing program.

Dredge Adds to Cabo Fishing Charter
Joshua's group selected the fish-attraction dredge for their full-day trip aboard Blue Water.
A dredge creates the appearance of a concentrated school of bait beneath and behind the yacht. The combination of movement and flash provides a larger underwater visual target designed to attract the attention of offshore predators.
The historical record confirms that the dredge was part of this charter but does not document which individual dorado responded to it.
Rather than reconstructing an undocumented hookup sequence, the verified fishing result tells the story:
16 dorado caught during eight hours of fishing.
For a four-person group, that represented an average of four recorded dorado per angler.
Dorado Drive Cabo Fishing Report
Dorado supplied 100% of the day's documented catch.
These fish are a favorite among Cabo anglers because they combine aggressive strikes with speed, surface action and spectacular coloration.
When dorado are active, the pace of a fishing charter can change quickly.
Joshua's group experienced that productivity on September 22.
Sixteen fish over an eight-hour charter represents an overall average of two fish per scheduled fishing hour.
The actual catch would not necessarily have occurred at evenly spaced intervals, but the statistic demonstrates the overall volume of the day.
Cabo Charter Records 62.5% Release Rate
The release numbers are another important part of this fishing report.
Of the 16 dorado caught, 10 were released.
Six were retained.
That produced a 62.5% dorado release rate for the charter.
Dorado are a species Blue Sky Cabo guests may retain, making the decision to release 10 of the 16 fish particularly notable in the historical record.
It turned a high-volume fishing day into a trip combining strong action with selective retention.
16 Dorado | 10 Released | 6 Retained | 62.5% Released
Full-Day Cabo Fishing With Captain Oscar
Captain Oscar operated the 35' Riviera Blue Water for the eight-hour charter.
Joshua's group left F Dock at 6:15 AM, giving the four anglers a full morning and early afternoon on the water before returning at 2:15 PM.
Lunch was included, making the trip well suited to the longer fishing schedule.
The original booking record does not identify the exact fishing grounds, individual bait choices, lure colors or the sequence of the 16 catches.
Those details are intentionally not being invented.
What is documented is a highly productive full-day result aboard Blue Water.
