Mark and Kristy, the group from Houston, Texas, joined Captain Oscar for an extended offshore fishing adventure departing IGY Marina at 6:00 AM. The original reservation included four guests, with James and Kelly also booked, although only Mark and Kristy participated. The featured Cabo hotel for this report is Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Golf & Spa Resort, included as a local accommodation reference rather than a verified guest stay. Their private fishing charter included lunch, snacks, and Blue Sky Cabo's Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device, providing additional equipment for attracting offshore game fish. Cabo Fishing Charter – Sailfish Caught and Released The highlight of the October 6 charter was one sailfish successfully caught and released. Sailfish are among the most exciting billfish encountered around Cabo San Lucas. Their distinctive dorsal fins, powerful runs, and impressive fighting ability make them a favorite target for anglers visiting Mexico's Pacific coast. Captain Oscar directed the offshore fishing operation while the crew managed the trolling equipment and fishing presentations. The Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device was included in the offshore fishing setup, creating the appearance of schooling baitfish swimming behind the vessel. This specialized equipment can help attract sailfish and marlin into the trolling spread, increasing opportunities for billfish encounters. Although the exact lure responsible for the strike was not documented, the successful sailfish release provided the day's confirmed fishing result.

Cabo Fishing Report – October **hidden content**' Blue Water – 1 Yellowfin Tuna Large Yellowfin Tuna Landed During an Afternoon Cabo San Lucas Fishing Charter with Captain Oscar October 27, 2026, brought an exciting afternoon of yellowfin tuna fishing for Mauro aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera, operated by Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours. With Captain Oscar leading the private four-hour charter, the afternoon produced one large yellowfin tuna, adding another successful catch to the Cabo San Lucas fishing season. Unlike traditional early-morning fishing trips, Mauro's charter departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 1:30 PM and returned at 5:30 PM. The afternoon schedule provided an opportunity to enjoy offshore fishing later in the day, with the entire boat dedicated to one guest. Cabo Fishing Report – October 27, 2026 – Charter Details Charter Information Fishing Results Fishing Date October 27, 2026 Boat 35' Blue Water Riviera Captain Oscar Guest Mauro Passengers 1 Charter Duration 4 Hours Departure 1:30 PM Return 5:30 PM Species Caught Yellowfin Tuna Total Catch 1 Large Yellowfin Tuna Catch Status 1 Yellowfin Tuna Retained Afternoon Yellowfin Tuna Fishing in Cabo San Lucas Afternoon fishing offers a different experience from the early departures commonly associated with Cabo San Lucas sportfishing. As ocean conditions change throughout the day, baitfish movements and feeding activity can create opportunities to encounter yellowfin tuna. For Mauro, the October 27 afternoon charter proved productive when one large yellowfin tuna was successfully landed aboard Blue Water. Yellowfin tuna are powerful offshore predators, known for their speed, muscular bodies, and ability to maintain tremendous pressure during a fight. Unlike marlin, which frequently jump above the surface, yellowfin tuna often rely on deep runs and sustained resistance beneath the boat. Landing a large tuna is an exciting achievement, particularly during a four-hour fishing charter. Captain Oscar and the 35-Foot Blue Water Riviera Captain Oscar brings local fishing knowledge and experience to the Blue Water Riviera, one of the private sportfishing vessels operated by Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours. The 35-foot Riviera provides a comfortable fishing platform for guests interested in targeting Cabo's offshore species. With Mauro as the only guest aboard, the crew could provide individual attention throughout the afternoon. The October 27 charter demonstrated the value of professional guidance and a private fishing experience, producing a memorable yellowfin tuna catch. October Cabo Fishing Opportunities October is an exciting month for fishing in Cabo San Lucas, with yellowfin tuna, dorado, marlin, and wahoo among the offshore species anglers may encounter. The waters surrounding the southern tip of Baja California Sur are influenced by the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez, creating productive fishing environments. Yellowfin tuna frequently respond to baitfish concentrations, current changes, and feeding opportunities around offshore fishing grounds. Although daily results vary, Mauro's afternoon catch provides another example of the yellowfin tuna fishing opportunities available during October. For anglers considering a private fishing adventure, the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera offers an opportunity to experience Cabo sportfishing with Captain Oscar and a professional crew.

Cabo Fishing Report – October **hidden content**' Blue Water – 1 Sailfish A sailfish strike just three miles offshore from the Cabo San Lucas Lighthouse turned October 26, 2026, into an exciting day of sportfishing for Josh and his group aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters. The five guests had originally planned their fishing adventure for September 26, but weather conditions required the charter to be rescheduled. Their new departure date brought a change of vessel and an opportunity to experience six hours of private offshore fishing along Cabo's Pacific coastline. By 10:00 AM, the group had encountered one of the area's most recognizable billfish. Cabo Fishing Charter Details – October 26, 2026 Charter Information Fishing Results Fishing Date October 26, 2026 Fishing Boat 35' Blue Water Riviera Guest Josh Passengers 5 Charter Duration 6 Hours Departure 6:00 AM Return 12:00 PM Fishing Location Cabo San Lucas Lighthouse Distance Offshore Approximately 3 Miles Strike Time 10:00 AM Bait Caballito Fishing Method Trolling Equipment Dredge Total Catch 1 Sailfish Sailfish Fishing Near the Cabo San Lucas Lighthouse The Blue Water departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM, heading toward the Pacific fishing grounds near the Lighthouse. This stretch of coastline is familiar to local sportfishing crews. Its proximity to deeper water makes it an appealing area to explore when searching for billfish and other offshore species. At approximately 10:00 AM, a sailfish struck a Caballito bait being trolled behind the Riviera. The fish was hooked around three miles offshore, giving Josh and his companions the morning's standout fishing encounter. Caballito is a natural baitfish commonly used in Mexican offshore fishing. Its profile and movement make it a practical choice when presenting bait to predators such as sailfish and marlin. Cabo Sportfishing with Dredge Equipment The October 26 charter also included a dredge fish-attraction system. A dredge is designed to resemble a moving group of baitfish beneath the surface, creating visual activity that can draw the attention of offshore predators. This technique is often incorporated into trolling spreads targeting billfish. It allows crews to present an additional underwater attraction while fishing natural baits. Although the sailfish struck the Caballito bait, the dredge was part of the equipment deployed during the charter. The successful hookup gave the five guests a memorable experience following their postponed September fishing plans. October Fishing Opportunities in Cabo San Lucas October is an active period for offshore fishing around Cabo San Lucas, with opportunities to encounter sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, and wahoo. Fishing conditions can change considerably from one day to another, making each charter a different experience. For Josh's group, the decision to return on October 26 resulted in a successful sailfish encounter aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera. Their six-hour charter concluded at noon, completing a morning of Pacific sportfishing near one of Cabo's best-known coastal landmarks.

Cabo Fishing Report – October **hidden content**' Blue Water – 1 Sailfish A sailfish strike at 10:00 AM provided the highlight of an October 26, 2026 fishing adventure aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters. Josh and his group of five guests departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM for a six-hour private offshore charter. Their original September 26 fishing date had been postponed because of weather, making this October outing a welcome opportunity to experience the Pacific fishing grounds. The morning produced one sailfish approximately three miles offshore from the Cabo San Lucas Lighthouse, with the fish striking a natural Caballito bait being trolled behind the boat. Cabo Fishing Results – October 26, 2026 Charter Information Fishing Details Fishing Date October 26, 2026 Boat 35' Blue Water Riviera Guests 5 Charter Duration 6 Hours Departure 6:00 AM Return 12:00 PM Fishing Location Cabo Falso Lighthouse Distance Offshore Approximately 3 Miles Strike Time 10:00 AM Bait Caballito Fishing Technique Trolling Equipment Dredge Catch 1 Sailfish Released Sailfish Fishing Near Cabo Falso Lighthouse The Cabo San Lucas Lighthouse marks a familiar stretch of Pacific coastline where local fishing crews search for billfish and other offshore species. For Josh's group, the fishing action developed relatively close to shore. At approximately 10:00 AM, four hours after departure, a sailfish struck the Caballito bait behind Blue Water. Caballito is a natural baitfish commonly used in Mexican sportfishing. Its swimming movement and profile make it a useful presentation when targeting sailfish and marlin. The encounter resulted in one sailfish caught and released, giving the five guests an exciting fishing experience following their postponed September reservation. Cabo Offshore Trolling with Dredge Equipment The charter included a dredge fish-attraction system, designed to imitate schooling baitfish beneath the surface. Dredges create underwater movement that may encourage billfish to approach a trolling spread. They are frequently incorporated into offshore fishing techniques alongside natural bait presentations. On October 26, the sailfish struck the Caballito bait. Although the dredge was included in the fishing setup, its exact influence on the encounter cannot be confirmed. The successful strike demonstrated the importance of natural bait presentations when targeting offshore game fish around Cabo San Lucas. October Fishing Opportunities in Cabo San Lucas October offers opportunities to encounter sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, and wahoo around southern Baja California. Fishing conditions vary with water temperatures, currents, and baitfish concentrations, making every charter a different experience. The Lighthouse area can provide productive fishing opportunities, as demonstrated by this sailfish encounter approximately three miles offshore. Josh and his companions returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina at noon after completing their six-hour charter aboard the Blue Water Riviera. Their rescheduled fishing adventure concluded with a memorable sailfish release along Cabo's Pacific coastline.
