Aaron Kettman and his fellow Team Illinois anglers had reserved a five-hour excursion, departing at 7:00 AM and returning at noon. Joining Aaron were Steve Gabrielse, Carlton Fay, Alex Papier, Tim O'Connor, Aaron Reynolds, Ryan Scott, and Kyle Sellett. The 43-foot Riviera provided the group with a spacious fishing platform, allowing all eight anglers to enjoy the same private charter. Unlike trips that incorporate specialized dredge equipment, this outing was conducted without a dredge. By the end of the morning, the group had recorded three fish from two species, including a dorado retained for the anglers and two skipjack returned to the water. Dorado Fishing Adds Variety to March in Cabo The featured catch of the March 16 charter was a dorado, commonly called mahi-mahi. Dorado are well known for their brilliant colors, quick movements, and fighting ability. Their distinctive appearance makes them a favorite among visiting sportfishing enthusiasts. Although Cabo's strongest dorado fishing typically occurs during warmer months, these game fish can occasionally be caught during March. For Team Illinois, the dorado provided a welcome addition to their fishing experience and was kept following the catch. March is more commonly associated with striped marlin activity around Cabo San Lucas, but the waters surrounding Baja California Sur can produce several other offshore species. This particular fishing trip demonstrated that variety, with dorado and skipjack making up the morning's catch. Two Skipjack Tuna Released During the Charter Alongside the dorado, Team Illinois caught two skipjack tuna. Both skipjack were released, completing the day's three-fish tally. Skipjack are familiar offshore fish around Cabo San Lucas and are recognized for their speed and determined resistance when hooked. They are also an important part of the marine food chain, serving as prey for larger offshore predators. For the anglers aboard the Blue Sky, the two skipjack provided additional fishing activity during their five-hour excursion. With one dorado retained and two skipjack released, the group completed their charter with catches from two different species. Five Hours Aboard the Riviera Blue Sky The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky is part of the Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours fleet operating from F Dock at the Cabo San Lucas Marina. The yacht accommodates private groups interested in enjoying sportfishing together rather than splitting across multiple smaller boats. For Team Illinois, the scheduled five-hour trip offered a morning on the Pacific waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. The charter concluded at noon, with all eight anglers returning to the marina after their fishing experience. The results from March 16, 2024, provide another documented example of the variety of game fish encountered during Cabo's spring fishing season. Each charter brings different conditions and opportunities, making individual fishing reports useful for visitors researching historical catches and planning their own Cabo San Lucas fishing adventures.

Cabo Fishing Report – October **hidden content**’ Blue Sky – 1 Wahoo Team Tailwater Lands a Wahoo During a Corporate Cabo Fishing Charter A six-hour corporate fishing charter aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky produced one wahoo on October 22, 2026, for Chris, Dustin, and Paul of Team Tailwater. The three colleagues joined Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters for a private offshore excursion departing Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM and returning at noon. Their catch was a wahoo, one of the most distinctive offshore predators found around the southern Baja California Peninsula. The fish was retained, completing the day's recorded fishing results. Cabo Fishing Charter Statistics – October 22, 2026 Charter Information Fishing Results Fishing Date October 22, 2026 Fishing Yacht 43’ Riviera Blue Sky Charter Type Private Corporate Fishing Group Team Tailwater Guests Chris, Dustin, Paul Total Guests 3 Charter Duration 6 Hours Departure Time 6:00 AM Return Time 12:00 PM Wahoo Caught 1 Wahoo Kept 1 Total Fish Caught 1 Fishing Equipment Dredge Teaser An October Morning Aboard the Riviera Blue Sky Team Tailwater's fishing excursion offered Chris, Dustin, and Paul an opportunity to spend time together away from their usual business environment. The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky provided a dedicated sportfishing yacht for the three guests, with the crew handling navigation and offshore fishing operations throughout the morning. Corporate fishing charters are a popular way to combine professional relationships with recreational experiences, particularly in a destination such as Cabo San Lucas, where offshore game fish are accessible throughout the year. For Team Tailwater, the day's fishing produced one wahoo, giving the group a memorable catch during their six-hour private excursion. One Wahoo Highlights the Cabo Fishing Results Wahoo are among the fastest predatory fish encountered in tropical and subtropical waters. Their long, streamlined bodies, distinctive vertical markings, and sharp teeth make them instantly recognizable. Anglers value wahoo for their explosive strikes and powerful runs, which can place considerable pressure on fishing equipment. October falls within a favorable seasonal period for wahoo fishing around Cabo San Lucas, although catches depend on changing offshore conditions and fish movements. The wahoo caught aboard the Blue Sky on October 22, 2026, was kept, representing the complete recorded catch from the corporate charter. Dredge Teaser Included in the Fishing Program The charter included a dredge teaser, equipment designed to imitate a concentrated school of baitfish moving behind a trolling vessel. Dredges are commonly used to attract offshore predators, including marlin and other pelagic game fish. Their visual presentation can encourage fish to investigate the area behind the boat. Although the dredge was part of Team Tailwater's fishing program, the specific technique responsible for the wahoo catch was not documented. The group completed its six-hour excursion at noon, returning to Cabo San Lucas Marina aboard the Riviera Blue Sky. October Cabo Fishing Offers Seasonal Variety October is an exciting month for offshore fishing around Cabo San Lucas because several desirable game fish may be present. Wahoo, dorado, yellowfin tuna, and marlin are among the species anglers may encounter during this period, depending on ocean conditions and baitfish availability. Team Tailwater's October 22 fishing results provide a specific example of wahoo activity during the fall season. Their private corporate charter concluded with one wahoo caught and kept, adding another documented fishing experience to the historical records of Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters.

Cabo Fishing Report - October 18, 2026 - Sailfish and Marlin Kevin, Matt, Dave, and Eric experienced their first Cabo San Lucas fishing adventure aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky on October 18, 2026. Their ten-hour Pacific fishing charter produced two marlin and one sailfish on live bait approximately two miles north of the Lighthouse. Cabo Pacific Billfish Action During This Fishing Charter Charter Details Catch Results Charter Date October 18, 2026 Fishing Vessel 43' Riviera Blue Sky Charter Duration 10 Hours Guests Kevin, Matt, Dave, Eric Fishing Grounds Golden Gate, Lighthouse Successful Bait Live Bait Marlin 2 Sailfish 1 Total Billfish 3 Three Billfish Reward This Cabo Offshore Fishing Charter For Kevin, Matt, Dave, and Eric, their first visit to Cabo San Lucas included a full day exploring the Pacific fishing grounds aboard Blue Sky Cabo's 43-foot Riviera. The charter covered the Golden Gate area and the waters surrounding the Lighthouse, two familiar locations for offshore anglers pursuing billfish along Cabo's Pacific coastline. The day's reported catches occurred approximately two miles north of the Lighthouse, where live bait accounted for two marlin and one sailfish. Encountering both species during a single fishing trip added variety to the group's experience. Marlin and sailfish are among the most recognizable offshore game fish found around Cabo San Lucas, particularly during periods when baitfish activity attracts predators into productive fishing areas. The record confirms the catch totals and fishing location but does not specify the marlin species, individual hookup times, or fish measurements. Exploring Cabo Fishing Grounds on a Private Riviera Charter The ten-hour outing allowed the four friends to experience different sections of Cabo's Pacific fishing territory. Golden Gate is recognized as an offshore fishing destination, while the Lighthouse provides access to productive waters closer to Cabo San Lucas. Live bait is frequently used when targeting billfish, offering a natural presentation that can appeal to feeding marlin and sailfish. For this group, the successful catches came near the Lighthouse, adding three billfish to their first Cabo fishing experience. A Memorable Cabo Team Fishing Charter Experience Kevin, Matt, Dave, and Eric shared their first Cabo fishing adventure aboard a private 43-foot Riviera sportfishing yacht. Their October 18 trip demonstrated the variety of billfish opportunities available along Cabo's Pacific coastline, with two marlin and one sailfish recorded during the same charter. For anglers considering a Cabo fishing trip, documented catch reports provide useful insight into the species encountered, techniques used, and fishing grounds visited.

Cabo Fishing Report - October 17, 2026 - Dorado Released Two small dorado caught and released highlighted Robert and Helen's October 17, 2026, fishing adventure aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky. Returning for their second scheduled fishing day with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters, the anglers departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM for an eight-hour private charter. Cabo Dorado Fishing Results from a Private Riviera Charter Charter Details Fishing Results Date October 17, 2026 Vessel 43' Riviera Blue Sky Captain Luis Guests Robert and Helen Charter Duration 8 Hours Departure 6:00 AM Scheduled Return 2:00 PM Dorado Caught 2 Dorado Released 2 Fish Retained 0 Fishing Equipment Dredge Cabo Autumn Fishing Adventure Aboard a Private Riviera Charter Robert and Helen returned to the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky for another day exploring the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. October offers seasonal opportunities for dorado, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and billfish, although fishing results can change considerably from one outing to the next. Their confirmed catch consisted of two small dorado, also known as mahi-mahi. Both fish were released. The exact fishing location and hookup times were not recorded, so no additional catch details have been assumed. Cabo Responsible Fishing Practices During an Offshore Charter Dorado are recognized for their brilliant colours, energetic fights, and rapid growth. Releasing smaller fish carefully can contribute to responsible recreational fishing by giving them an opportunity to survive and continue growing. For Robert and Helen, both dorado were returned to the ocean rather than retained. Their experience demonstrates that a fishing trip can provide memorable encounters even when the catch is modest. Cabo Sportfishing Equipment Aboard the Riviera Charter The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky is part of the Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters fleet operating from F Dock at Cabo San Lucas Marina. Captain Luis is associated with this private sportfishing vessel. The October 17 outing included dredge equipment, designed to imitate schooling baitfish and attract offshore predators. However, the charter record does not establish whether the dredge contributed directly to either dorado encounter. Blue Sky Cabo documents fishing results across its fleet, including smaller catches and released fish, providing guests with a realistic perspective on Cabo sportfishing. Cabo Two-Day Fishing Experience Concludes with a Private Charter The October 17 trip was the second scheduled fishing day for Robert and Helen. Their eight-hour outing began at 6:00 AM, with a planned return at 2:00 PM. The final documented catch was two small dorado, both released. For anglers researching Cabo San Lucas fishing opportunities, this report illustrates the changing nature of offshore fishing and the value of responsible catch-and-release practices.
