Cabo Fishing Report – April **hidden content**' Blue Water – 1 Dorado and 5 Skipjack
Six Fish for Five Anglers on a Cabo Fishing Charter
April 5, 2024, brought a different kind of fishing adventure to Cabo San Lucas Marina. Rather than booking one yacht for everyone, Michael organized a two-boat outing with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters, dividing 12 guests between two Riviera sportfishing vessels.
Five anglers boarded the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera for an eight-hour offshore charter, while seven guests joined the 43-foot Blue Sky Riviera.
The Blue Water departed at 6:00 AM, equipped with a specialized dredge for the day's fishing.
When the yacht returned at 2:00 PM, its recorded catch included one dorado kept and five skipjack released.
That meant six fish across two species for the five guests aboard Blue Water.

Dorado Fishing Adds Color to the Pacific
One dorado was caught and retained during the April 5 charter.
Known internationally as mahi-mahi, dorado are celebrated for their remarkable coloration and energetic fighting ability.
Their vivid yellow, green, and blue appearance makes them especially recognizable among offshore game fish.
Although dorado are often associated with warmer fishing seasons, catches can occur during other months when conditions bring these fish into the area.
For the Blue Water anglers, the dorado was the day's retained fish and one of two species encountered.
Five Skipjack Keep the Cabo Fishing Action Going
The additional five catches were skipjack, all released.
Skipjack are fast, powerful schooling fish belonging to the tuna family. They can provide lively action when encountered during offshore trolling.
The Blue Water's five skipjack contributed most of the day's fish count, while the dorado added variety to the catch.
Together, the two species produced six documented catches during the eight-hour excursion.
The crew also used a dredge, an offshore attractor designed to imitate a concentration of swimming baitfish beneath the surface.
Dredges can help draw the attention of predatory fish toward a trolling spread, although the specific circumstances of each catch were not recorded.
Two Cabo Fishing Boats, Two Separate Experiences
What distinguished this April 5 trip was the larger group arrangement.
Michael's party of 12 occupied two private Riviera yachts rather than sharing a single vessel.
Blue Water carried five guests, allowing that portion of the group to enjoy its own fishing experience.
The remaining seven guests boarded Blue Sky.
Although both charters belonged to the same organized outing, their catches were recorded separately.
Blue Water's six fish should therefore be understood as the result of its own five-angler charter, not a combined total for both boats.
That distinction provides a more accurate picture of what happened offshore.
For Michael's group, the day offered the opportunity to share a Cabo fishing occasion while experiencing it from two different vessels.
And for the five anglers aboard Blue Water, April 5, 2024, delivered one retained dorado, five released skipjack, and eight hours on the Pacific.
