Cabo San Lucas is internationally recognized for its marlin fishing, with seasonal ocean conditions influencing the movement of billfish and the baitfish they pursue. Marlin are prized for their impressive strength, speed and endurance. Their ability to make powerful runs and sudden changes in direction has made them a favorite target among offshore anglers. Skipjack bring a different dimension to recreational fishing. These fast-moving schooling fish are known for their energetic fights and are an important part of the offshore marine food chain. Encountering both types of fish during a single charter highlights the variety available in Cabo's Pacific waters. The original charter record does not specify the marlin species, individual fish measurements or exact fishing grounds. Cabo Fishing Yacht – Captain Oscar and the Riviera Blue Water Captain Oscar welcomed the group aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water, one of the private sportfishing vessels operated by Blue Sky Cabo. The six-hour morning schedule offered a substantial fishing window while allowing the guests to return to Cabo San Lucas around midday. Private charters provide a dedicated fishing experience for families and groups of friends who want to enjoy the ocean together. With five passengers aboard, the group had the opportunity to share the excitement of offshore fishing without joining a larger public excursion. The charter record does not identify the specific lures, bait or trolling techniques used. Cabo Fishing Charter – Texas Visitors Experience Los Cabos Traveling from the Tyler area of East Texas, John, Tatum, Shanna, Cody and Nate selected Cabo San Lucas as part of their December getaway. For visitors from Texas, Los Cabos offers a distinctive combination of desert landscapes, beautiful coastline and offshore sportfishing opportunities. The reservation referenced Hotel Corazón and Riu Palace, although the group's exact accommodation was not confirmed. A morning fishing charter is a convenient choice for vacationers who want to experience Cabo's marine environment while leaving the afternoon available for other activities. The group's six-hour excursion provided that balance, combining a private fishing experience with a practical vacation schedule. Cabo Fishing Report – Responsible Catch-and-Release Fishing Conservation remains an important part of recreational sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas. Marlin are valued for the challenge they provide anglers and their role within the marine ecosystem. Blue Sky Cabo follows an established catch-and-release policy for marlin and skipjack. Releasing these fish supports responsible fishing practices and helps preserve future opportunities for visiting anglers. The December 22 charter achieved a complete release of its documented catch.

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.
