Cabo Fishing Report – March **hidden content**’ Blue Water – 1 Dorado and 6 Skipjack
Seven Fish Caught After a Cabo San Lucas Port Closure
JR, Courtney, Mesha, and Jack, a group from the Southern California area, enjoyed a successful five-hour Cabo fishing charter aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water on March 26, 2024. Their private offshore excursion with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters produced one dorado and six skipjack, bringing the morning's total to seven fish.
The group had originally planned to fish on Monday, March 25, but their charter was moved to Tuesday following a port closure. Once departures resumed, the four guests headed out from Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM and returned at 11:00 AM with catches from two offshore species.

A Dorado Provides the Morning's Featured Catch
The highlight of the charter was a dorado, also known as mahi-mahi. Dorado are among the most recognizable game fish around Cabo San Lucas, admired for their vivid colors, impressive speed, and determined fighting ability.
Although dorado fishing is usually strongest during the warmer summer and fall months, these fish can also appear in March when offshore conditions and baitfish activity are favorable.
JR, Courtney, Mesha, and Jack successfully landed one dorado, which was kept.
The catch added an exciting species to a March fishing trip during a season more commonly associated with striped marlin.
Six Skipjack Add More Fishing Action
The morning also produced six skipjack, fast-moving members of the tuna family that frequently travel in schools.
Skipjack are known for quick runs and energetic resistance, making them entertaining fish for visiting anglers. Their schooling behavior can also create opportunities for multiple catches during the same outing.
All six skipjack were released, completing the charter with seven fish caught across two species.
Five Hours Aboard the 35-Foot Riviera Blue Water
The Blue Water provided a dedicated fishing yacht for the four guests throughout their rescheduled excursion.
Their charter included a dredge teaser, equipment designed to imitate a concentrated school of baitfish behind a trolling vessel. Dredges are used to attract offshore predators, although the specific presentation responsible for these catches was not documented.
The change from Monday to Tuesday also illustrated the importance of following Cabo San Lucas port regulations. Maritime authorities may restrict departures when conditions are considered unsafe, and fishing excursions resume when permitted.
For JR, Courtney, Mesha, and Jack, the rescheduled departure resulted in a productive morning on the Pacific waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
March Cabo Fishing Offers a Variety of Species
March is an important month for striped marlin fishing, but Cabo's offshore waters can also produce dorado, skipjack, yellowfin tuna, and other species.
The March 26 excursion demonstrated that variety, with one dorado kept and six skipjack released during five hours of private sportfishing.
The group returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina at 11:00 AM after completing their seven-fish charter aboard the Riviera Blue Water.
