Austin, Bonita, and Mike departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 AM with two preferred target species in mind: marlin and mahi-mahi. Their private offshore charter produced one dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, which was released before the vessel returned to the marina at noon.
Although no marlin were recorded, the group encountered one of the species they had specifically hoped to catch.

Dorado Fishing Delivers the Morning's Action
Dorado are among the most recognizable offshore game fish encountered around Cabo San Lucas.
Their brilliant green, yellow, and blue coloration makes them visually distinctive, while their speed and energetic fighting style create exciting opportunities for visiting anglers.
Also known as mahi-mahi, dorado frequently feed around baitfish concentrations, floating objects, and productive current boundaries.
Although Cabo's strongest dorado fishing generally develops during warmer months, catches remain possible during spring when suitable offshore conditions occur.
For Austin, Bonita, and Mike, the dorado fulfilled part of their original fishing objective and provided the day's recorded catch.
The fish was successfully released.
Targeting Marlin During April in Cabo San Lucas
Marlin were also on the group's target list.
Cabo San Lucas is internationally recognized for its offshore billfish opportunities, particularly striped marlin during cooler months and blue and black marlin during warmer periods.
April brings changing water temperatures, currents, and baitfish movements that can influence where different offshore species are encountered.
While marlin fishing opportunities remain possible during spring, catches depend on daily ocean conditions and fish activity.
The April 10 charter did not produce a marlin, illustrating how actual fishing results can differ from the original target list.
Specialized Dredge Fishing Aboard Blue Water
The charter included specialized dredge equipment.
A dredge is an underwater trolling device designed to imitate schooling baitfish moving beneath the surface.
These presentations can attract the attention of marlin and other offshore predators by creating the appearance of a concentrated feeding opportunity.
Dredges are frequently incorporated into billfish fishing strategies alongside conventional trolling methods.
Although dredge equipment was included during this charter, the exact presentation responsible for the dorado catch was not documented.
Six Hours Aboard the 35-Foot Blue Water Riviera
The 35-foot Blue Water Riviera provided Austin, Bonita, and Mike with a private sportfishing experience on the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
Their six-hour charter began at 6:00 AM and concluded at noon.
With marlin and mahi-mahi as their preferred targets, the group experienced a successful dorado encounter and release.
The April 10, 2024, fishing results demonstrate that even when every target species is not encountered, a private offshore charter can still provide memorable fishing action.
