Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – January 3, 2024 – 1 Dorado Caught 60' Bertram Blue Sea – Captain Alex – 6-Hour Private Charter – 1 Dorado January 3, 2024 – 1 Dorado Caught – Cabo Fishing Report A family fishing charter targeting yellowfin tuna produced one dorado aboard the 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours on Wednesday, January 3, 2024. Jim, Therese, Kathleen, Frankie, Bryan, Claus, Carter and Colton were the eight named guests, with the original reservation allowing for seven to nine passengers. The group was associated with Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos in San José del Cabo for this fishing report. Captain Alex was assigned to the Blue Sea for the six-hour private excursion, scheduled to depart F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM and return at noon. Although tuna fishing was the original objective, the confirmed catch was a dorado, also known as mahi-mahi. Cabo Fishing Report - FISHING DATA SNAPSHOT Date: January 3, 2024 | Day: Wednesday Vessel: 60' Bertram Blue Sea | Captain: Alex Charter Duration: 6 Hours | Charter Type: Private Named Guests: 8 | Expected Passengers: 7–9 Lead Guest: Jim | Minor Guest: Colton Hotel: Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos (selected) | Location: San José del Cabo Departure: 6:00 AM | Scheduled Return: 12:00 PM Target Species: Yellowfin Tuna | Recorded Catch: 1 Dorado Total Catch: 1 Fish | Tuna Recorded: 0 Fishing Licenses: Coordinated | Departure Dock: F Dock Marina: IGY Cabo San Lucas | Fishing Duration: 6 Hours Cabo Fishing Charter – Family Tuna Fishing Adventure The January 3 reservation brought together a larger family group for an early-morning offshore fishing experience. Carter, Bryan, Colton, Kathleen, Claus, Therese, Frankie and Jim were listed in the booking records. The original reservation estimated seven to nine passengers, while eight guests were identified by name. Fishing licenses were coordinated with the Blue Sky Cabo dock team before departure. Several guests had existing licenses, and additional arrangements were noted. Colton was identified as a minor in the reservation. The group selected a six-hour charter with tuna fishing as its primary objective. However, offshore fishing results can differ from the species originally targeted. The historical record confirmed one dorado, with no tuna included in the documented catch. Cabo Fishing Yacht – Captain Alex and the 60-Foot Blue Sea Captain Alex was assigned to the 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea, the largest sportfishing yacht in the Blue Sky Cabo fleet. The private charter was scheduled from 6:00 AM until noon, providing a dedicated morning fishing window. A larger yacht can be an appealing option for family groups seeking to enjoy offshore fishing together. The original booking did not identify the precise fishing grounds, trolling techniques, bait presentations or equipment used. It also did not specify which passenger caught the dorado. The catch is therefore credited to the family charter rather than to an individual guest. Cabo Fishing Report – Dorado During a Tuna-Focused Excursion Dorado are among the most recognizable offshore game fish encountered around Cabo San Lucas. Also known as mahi-mahi, these fish are celebrated for their brilliant coloration, speed and energetic fights. While yellowfin tuna were the intended target, the recorded result illustrates the variety of species anglers may encounter during offshore fishing trips. The historical booking did not document the dorado's size, weight or whether it was retained. Those details have not been estimated. For visitors considering a Cabo fishing charter, this excursion demonstrates that a successful offshore experience may produce a different species from the one originally pursued.

Cabo Fishing Report – October **hidden content** Dorado Released Blue Sky Cabo – 60' Bertram Blue Sea – Captain David – 1 Dorado Released Robert and his group of seven anglers headed offshore on October 17, 2026, aboard Blue Sky Cabo's luxurious 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea. Their eight-hour private fishing adventure began with a 5:45 AM boarding at IGY Marina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Captain David and his professional crew prepared the vessel for a day of offshore trolling, deploying tournament-style dredge equipment to attract predatory gamefish. The group finished with one dorado successfully caught and released, adding another documented fishing experience to Blue Sky Cabo's October records. October 17 Fishing Trip – Charter Statistics Date: October 17, 2026 | Duration: 8 Hours Vessel: 60' Bertram Blue Sea | Captain: David Guests: 7 | Boarding: 5:45 AM Catch: 1 Dorado | Released: 1 Equipment: Tournament-Style Dredge Historical Cabo Weather and Ocean Conditions Air Temperature: 79–91°F Water Temperature: Approximately 88°F Wind: Up to 13 mph Regional Offshore Seas: 6–8 ft Swell: Southeast, 16-second period Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent, 44% illuminated Historical Cabo-area weather and estimated water temperature. Sea conditions reflect a regional evening forecast, not onboard measurements. Tournament Dredge Creates an Offshore Baitfish Presentation One of the distinguishing features of Robert's trip was the use of Blue Sky Cabo's tournament-style dredge system. This specialized fishing equipment imitates a moving school of baitfish beneath the ocean surface, creating an underwater attraction designed to draw marlin, sailfish, dorado, and other offshore predators toward the trolling spread. Such techniques are commonly associated with competitive sportfishing and give visiting anglers access to professional fishing methods. The precise bait or lure responsible for the day's dorado catch was not recorded. One Dorado Provides the Day's Highlight Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, are among the most recognizable sportfish found in the warm Pacific waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. Their brilliant green, yellow, and blue coloration, powerful runs, and energetic fighting characteristics make them a favorite among recreational anglers. Robert's group successfully landed one dorado before releasing it. Although October is traditionally associated with productive offshore fishing, actual results depend on changing currents, bait concentrations, water temperatures, and fish movement. A single catch can represent the day's opportunity even aboard a well-equipped sportfishing yacht. Luxury Sportfishing Aboard the 60-Foot Bertram Blue Sea The Blue Sea offers generous deck space, comfortable surroundings, and professional offshore fishing equipment for private groups. With seven anglers aboard, Robert's party enjoyed the privacy of a dedicated yacht, attentive crew service, and lunch during their time on the water. Blue Sky Cabo combines serious fishing capabilities with the comfort expected from a premium private charter. The company also publishes individual catch reports reflecting actual results rather than promising that every outing will produce multiple fish. Robert's October 17 experience concluded with one dorado caught and released during eight hours of offshore fishing.

Their eight-hour offshore adventure produced five yellowfin tuna strikes, including one impressive 53-pound tuna landed and four additional fish that broke off during the fight. This was the first of two scheduled fishing days for Robert's group, with tournament-style dredge equipment and lunch included aboard their private yacht.

The crew trolled Cuchito lures featuring a distinctive blue upper section and pink underside. The presentation attracted five yellowfin tuna strikes during a productive stretch of offshore fishing. One powerful tuna was successfully brought aboard, weighing 53 pounds. Four additional hooked fish broke off before they could be landed. The sequence created repeated opportunities for Robert's group and demonstrated how quickly offshore fishing action can develop when tuna encounter an effective trolling presentation. A 53-Pound Yellowfin – Cabo Anglers Experience the Power of Tuna on a Luxury Bertram Fishing Charter Yellowfin tuna are renowned for their speed, muscular strength, and remarkable endurance. Landing a 53-pound specimen requires coordinated effort between angler and crew, particularly when multiple fish are striking within a relatively short period. The 60-foot Blue Sea provided a spacious fishing cockpit for managing trolling equipment and accommodating the seven anglers throughout their eight-hour trip. Tournament-style dredge equipment formed part of the charter's offshore fishing setup, while lunch service added comfort to the experience. For Robert's group, the first day of their two-day booking delivered an impressive yellowfin tuna and four additional hookups, setting the stage for another opportunity on the Pacific.
