Cabo Marlin Fishing Charter – Two Billfish Released Marlin are among the most sought-after offshore game fish in Cabo San Lucas. Their powerful runs, impressive strength and exciting fighting ability attract anglers from around the world. For the six guests aboard the Riviera Blue Water, the marlin encounters added excitement to an already productive day of offshore fishing. Both billfish were released under Blue Sky Cabo's conservation policy, supporting responsible sportfishing practices. Cabo Dorado Fishing Charter – Eight Mahi-Mahi Caught Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, are famous for their brilliant gold, green and blue coloring. These fast-moving predators are popular with visiting anglers because of their aggressive strikes and energetic fights. The eight dorado caught during this January charter demonstrated the potential for productive winter fishing around Cabo San Lucas. The historical record does not specify how many dorado were retained or released. Cabo Fishing Yacht Charter – Captain Oscar and the Riviera Blue Water The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water is part of the privately owned and managed Blue Sky Cabo sportfishing fleet. Captain Oscar operates the vessel from F Dock at IGY Marina. For this charter, the six guests enjoyed exclusive use of the yacht, professional offshore fishing equipment and six included lunches. The complimentary tournament-style dredge package was another feature of their reservation. Dredges imitate schooling baitfish and are frequently used in offshore billfish fishing programs. The original record does not establish which specific fishing techniques produced the day's catches. Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Eight Hours of Offshore Action A full eight-hour charter provides more time to explore fishing areas and respond to changing offshore conditions than shorter morning trips. For this Edmonton-region group, the extended schedule produced an excellent combination of marlin and dorado fishing. The outing demonstrated the variety of offshore sportfishing opportunities available in Cabo San Lucas during January. With ten fish recorded and both marlin released, the six guests enjoyed a memorable private fishing experience aboard the Riviera Blue Water.

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. The crew successfully landed the tuna, completing a productive afternoon featuring three different offshore species.

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.
