Also known as mahi-mahi, dorado are celebrated for their striking green, blue, and yellow coloration, along with their speed and energetic fighting ability. These offshore predators frequently follow schools of baitfish and can be encountered around floating debris, current boundaries, and productive offshore waters. Although dorado fishing is commonly strongest during warmer periods of the year, catches can occur during spring when suitable conditions develop. For the guests aboard Blue Water, the dorado provided an exciting addition to the morning's fishing results and demonstrated the variety of species available around Cabo San Lucas. Needlefish Provides a Different Cabo Fishing Encounter The needlefish added an interesting element to the day's catch. Recognized by their elongated bodies and narrow, tooth-filled jaws, needlefish have a distinctive appearance compared with more familiar offshore game fish. Their streamlined shape allows them to move quickly through the water while pursuing smaller prey. Although needlefish are not usually the primary target of Cabo sportfishing charters, encountering one can make a fishing trip more memorable. For Sonya, Tim, Vernon, and Brianna, the needlefish represented the second species recorded during their five-hour adventure. Two Skipjack Caught and Released During Cabo Fishing Two skipjack completed the four-fish catch aboard Blue Water. Skipjack are fast-moving members of the tuna family, recognized for their schooling behavior, rapid swimming, and energetic fights. These fish play an important role in the offshore food chain, providing prey for larger predators, including marlin and other pelagic game fish. Both skipjack caught during the April 8, 2024, charter were released, consistent with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters' catch-and-release policy for skipjack. Releasing these fish supports the company's responsible fishing practices while allowing guests to experience the excitement of catching them. With the two skipjack releases, the group completed a productive morning featuring four fish across three species. Shared Cabo Fishing Aboard the 35-Foot Blue Water Riviera The April 8 charter brought four guests together aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera for a shared sportfishing experience. Shared fishing charters offer individual travelers and smaller groups an opportunity to enjoy professional offshore fishing while sharing the vessel with other guests. Sonya, Tim, Vernon, and Brianna participated in the five-hour morning charter, departing at 6:00 AM and returning to the marina at 11:00 AM. The charter preparations also included attention to individual dietary requirements, with gluten-free breakfast arrangements made for Sonya. The Blue Water Riviera provided a comfortable sportfishing platform for the group to enjoy the morning and experience three different species in Cabo's productive waters. April Fishing Opportunities in Cabo San Lucas April is a transitional period in the Cabo fishing calendar, when changing ocean temperatures, currents, and baitfish movements influence the species encountered offshore. While marlin remain a major attraction for visiting anglers, other species such as dorado, skipjack, and needlefish contribute to the diversity of fishing opportunities. The April 8, 2024, results demonstrate how a five-hour charter can produce an interesting combination of offshore catches. For Sonya, Tim, Vernon, and Brianna, the morning aboard Blue Water delivered four fish, three species, and two successful skipjack releases. Blue Sk
