Cabo Fishing Report - 1 Marlin, 3 Dorado, 2 Wahoo, 2 Tuna - December 27, 2023 35 Foot Riviera – Blue Water – Captain Oscar – 6-Hour Private Charter December **hidden content** Marlin Released, 3 Dorado, 2 Wahoo, 2 Tuna – Cabo Fishing Report An eight-fish morning aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water gave six guests an impressive variety of offshore catches during a private charter with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours. Patrick, Carter, McCarley, Martin, Hope and Micah, visiting from the Albuquerque, New Mexico area, booked a six-hour fishing trip with Captain Oscar on Wednesday, December 27, 2023. The group was staying at Riu Santa Fe in Cabo San Lucas. Their fishing record included four species: marlin, dorado, wahoo and tuna. Cabo Fishing Report - FISHING DATA SNAPSHOT Date: December 27, 2023 | Day: Wednesday Boat: 35' Riviera Blue Water | Captain: Oscar Charter Duration: 6 Hours | Passengers: 6 Departure: 6:00 AM | Scheduled Return: 12:00 PM Guests: Patrick, Carter, McCarley, Martin, Hope, Micah | Hotel: Riu Santa Fe Guest Origin: Albuquerque, New Mexico Area | Charter Type: Private Marlin: 1 Released | Dorado: 3 Wahoo: 2 | Tuna: 2 Total Catch: 8 Fish | Species Recorded: 4 Dredge Option: Included | Departure Dock: F Dock Marina: IGY Cabo San Lucas | Destination: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Cabo Fishing Charter – Four Species in Six Hours Catching four different offshore species during one six-hour reservation demonstrates the diversity of fishing opportunities around Cabo San Lucas. The group's catch included a marlin, one of the region's signature billfish. The marlin is recorded as released in accordance with Blue Sky Cabo's catch-and-release policy. Three dorado added another species to the day's results. Also known as mahi-mahi, dorado are recognized for their brilliant colors, aggressive strikes and energetic fights. Two wahoo brought a different challenge. Their streamlined bodies and exceptional speed make them a popular offshore target. Two tuna completed the catch. Tuna are valued for their strength and endurance, often requiring sustained effort from anglers. The original record does not identify the individual anglers responsible for each fish. Cabo Fishing Yacht – Captain Oscar and the Blue Water Captain Oscar was assigned to the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water for the morning excursion. The private charter was scheduled to depart F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM, with a noon return. The booking included a specialized fish-attraction dredge option, commonly used in offshore trolling programs to imitate schooling baitfish. Actual dredge deployment was not documented, so no individual catch is attributed to that equipment. The fishing record also does not specify the exact offshore grounds, lure selection, bait presentations or individual fish weights. Cabo Fishing Report – December Offshore Variety December fishing around Cabo San Lucas can offer opportunities for several species when ocean conditions and baitfish concentrations are favorable. For Martin's six-person group, the combination of billfish and other offshore game fish created a varied fishing record. The booking identifies the marlin only as marlin and the tuna only as tuna. Their exact species were not specified. Dorado, wahoo and tuna retention details were also not recorded. The confirmed charter result remains eight fish representing four species during the scheduled six-hour trip.

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.
