Trip Summary

Cabo Fishing Report – April **hidden content**' Blue Water – 1 Marlin Released A Father, Two Teenage Anglers, and an Exciting Cabo Marlin Encounter Cabo Marlin Fishing Delivers a Memorable Morning For two 17-year-old anglers, an early morning on the Pacific became an opportunity to experience one of sportfishing's most exciting challenges: catching a marlin. On April 2, 2024, Peter joined Colin and Julian for a private five-hour fishing charter aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters. The three anglers departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM, ready for a morning targeting offshore game fish. Their charter included a specialized dredge setup designed to attract the attention of predatory fish. By the time the group returned at 11:00 AM, they had recorded one marlin caught and released, giving the morning a successful conclusion. For Colin and Julian, both 17, the experience offered a memorable introduction to Cabo's big-game fishing opportunities.

A fishing dredge creates the underwater appearance of a school of baitfish, helping attract the attention of marlin and other offshore predators. Professional crews may incorporate dredges into their trolling presentations alongside lures, teasers, and natural baits. The objective is to create a convincing baitfish display that encourages game fish to investigate the fishing spread. Although no fishing technique guarantees a catch, dredges are widely used in offshore billfish fishing. For Peter, Colin, and Julian, the specialized equipment formed part of their five-hour Cabo fishing experience. Why Spring Attracts Cabo Marlin Anglers Cabo San Lucas is internationally recognized for its billfish opportunities, particularly striped marlin during the cooler months. Spring fishing can bring encounters with marlin as offshore conditions, baitfish movements, and ocean currents influence their activity. Marlin are respected for their speed, endurance, and powerful fighting ability. Encountering one aboard a private sportfishing vessel offers an exciting challenge, whether an angler is experienced or relatively new to offshore fishing. The marlin caught on April 2 was released, supporting the conservation-minded approach commonly practiced in recreational billfish fishing. The specific marlin species was not recorded for this charter. A Cabo Fishing Experience for Young Anglers Introducing teenagers to offshore fishing can create opportunities to learn about marine life, fishing equipment, and responsible catch-and-release practices. For Colin and Julian, sharing the experience with Peter added a personal dimension to the morning. The 35-foot Blue Water Riviera provided a private fishing setting, with the professional crew responsible for navigation and fishing operations. The group completed its excursion at 11:00 AM after five hours on the Pacific. Their April 2 charter demonstrated how a single marlin encounter can become the defining moment of a fishing trip. For families and groups considering Cabo marlin fishing, Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters offers private sportfishing experiences aboard professionally crewed vessels.

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.
