Cabo Fishing Yacht Charter – Twelve Hours With Captain Oscar
An extended fishing day offers a different experience from a standard morning charter.
For this Salt Lake City group, the additional four hours created a full-day offshore adventure aboard the Blue Water.
Captain Oscar operated the 35-foot Riviera, with tournament-style dredge equipment included in the fishing package.
Dredges create the appearance of schooling baitfish and are commonly used in offshore trolling programs targeting billfish and other predatory species.
The reservation also included four lunches, an important consideration for anglers spending twelve hours on the Pacific.
With only four guests aboard, the private charter allowed the group to enjoy the experience together without sharing the yacht with unrelated passengers.
Cabo Marlin Fishing Charter – Two Successful Billfish Releases
Marlin remain one of the signature offshore game fish associated with Cabo San Lucas.
Their strength and powerful runs make them a memorable challenge for visiting anglers.
The January 13 fishing record included two marlin, both successfully released.
Blue Sky Cabo follows a marlin release policy as part of its commitment to responsible sportfishing.
Both billfish were returned to the ocean.
Cabo Dorado Fishing Report – Fifteen Caught, Eight Released
Dorado contributed most of the day's fishing activity.
These colorful offshore fish are prized for their aggressive strikes and energetic fights.
The charter produced fifteen dorado, with eight released because of applicable retention limits.
Seven dorado were retained.
This is an important distinction in fishing reports: the number of fish caught is not necessarily the number kept.
The group finished its second day with ten total fish released, including both marlin.
Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Two Days of Private Sportfishing
Anthony, Jacob, Wes and Luke booked consecutive fishing days aboard the same vessel.
Their January 13 outing concluded the two-day experience with Captain Oscar and the Blue Water crew.
The twelve-hour schedule provided a substantial amount of offshore fishing time, while the private yacht offered a comfortable setting for the four anglers.
The combination of marlin encounters, dorado action and responsible releases made this an outstanding second-day result.
