Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – 1 Dorado, 1 Skipjack 35 Foot Riviera – Blue Water – Captain Oscar – 5-Hour Charter – 2 Fish December **hidden content** Dorado, 1 Skipjack – Cabo Fishing Report Christmas Eve started on the Pacific Ocean for Ben, Olivia, Melisa and Benny, a family of four visiting Cabo San Lucas from the Salt Lake City, Utah, area. Staying at Playa Grande Resort, the family booked a private five-hour fishing charter with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water. With two adults and two children under 13, the group selected an early morning excursion that would leave plenty of time for holiday celebrations. Captain Oscar welcomed everyone aboard at F Dock, IGY Marina, for their 6:00 AM departure on Sunday, December 24, 2023. The fishing record documented one dorado and one skipjack, giving the family an opportunity to encounter two different offshore species. Cabo Fishing Report - FISHING DATA SNAPSHOT Date: December 24, 2023 | Day: Sunday Boat: 35' Riviera Blue Water | Captain: Oscar Charter Duration: 5 Hours | Passengers: 4 Adults: 2 | Children: 2, Under 13 Guests: Ben, Olivia, Melisa, Benny | Guest Home Town: Salt Lake City, Utah area Hotel: Playa Grande Resort | Departure: 6:00 AM Scheduled Return: 11:00 AM | Dorado Caught: 1 Skipjack Caught: 1 | Total Catch: 2 Fish Dorado: Retention Permitted | Skipjack: Release Species Dredge Option: Included | Departure Dock: F Dock Marina: IGY Cabo San Lucas | Charter Type: Private Family Fishing Cabo Fishing Charter – Christmas Eve Offshore Action Dorado and skipjack offer contrasting experiences for recreational anglers. Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, are recognized for their brilliant green, blue and yellow coloration. Their speed and energetic fights make them popular targets around Cabo San Lucas. Skipjack are fast-moving schooling fish that contribute to the region's diverse marine ecosystem. Encountering both species during a morning charter illustrates the variety of fishing opportunities available in southern Baja California. The original booking does not identify the exact fishing grounds, individual fish sizes or which family members caught the fish. Cabo Fishing Yacht – Captain Oscar and Family Fishing The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water provided a private setting for the four guests. Their reservation included a specialized dredge option, equipment designed to imitate schooling baitfish and attract offshore predators. The historical record does not confirm whether the dredge was deployed or contributed to either catch. For families traveling with younger children, a five-hour private charter offers an opportunity to experience offshore fishing without spending an entire day at sea. The scheduled 11:00 AM return allowed the family to enjoy the remainder of Christmas Eve ashore. Cabo Fishing Charter – Responsible Species Management Blue Sky Cabo follows a catch-and-release policy for skipjack, while dorado may be retained when permitted under applicable regulations. The December 24 booking confirms both catches but does not specify whether the dorado was kept or document the individual fish-handling procedures. These distinctions help maintain an accurate historical record of the charter.

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.

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.
