April 16, 2024, delivered a satisfying offshore fishing adventure for Josh and his group of four anglers aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters. The group had one particular fish in mind before departure: dorado, also known as mahi-mahi.

An upgrade to the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera added another enjoyable element to their spring fishing adventure.

Others have a particular game fish on their wish list. For Josh's group, there was no question about their preference. They wanted dorado! Dorado are among the most colorful fish found in Cabo's offshore waters, displaying brilliant shades of gold, green, and electric blue. Known for their aggressive strikes and energetic fighting style, these fish provide exciting opportunities for both experienced anglers and first-time visitors. The April 16 charter finished with one dorado landed and retained, giving the group the exact species they had hoped to catch. A Yacht Upgrade to the 35-Foot Blue Water Riviera Josh and his group also enjoyed an upgrade to the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera. This private sportfishing yacht provides a comfortable setting for offshore trolling, fighting game fish, and enjoying the beautiful waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. With four anglers aboard, the group had the opportunity to share the fishing experience while receiving dedicated attention from their crew. A private charter allows guests to enjoy their own vessel rather than sharing fishing stations with unrelated passengers. For this particular outing, the upgraded Riviera provided the setting for a successful six-hour dorado fishing adventure. Cabo Dorado Fishing Without a Dredge One interesting detail about Josh's charter was that no dredge was used. Dredges are specialized fishing tools designed to imitate schools of baitfish beneath the surface, but they are not necessary for every offshore fishing situation. Dorado can be targeted using conventional trolling presentations, artificial lures, and natural bait. These fish frequently associate with baitfish concentrations, current boundaries, and floating objects that provide feeding opportunities. The exact lure or bait responsible for the April 16 catch was not documented. What is confirmed is that the group successfully landed their dorado without using a dredge. Spring Dorado Fishing Opportunities in Cabo San Lucas Although Cabo's warmer months often produce more consistent dorado activity, spring can still deliver exciting opportunities. Ocean temperatures, currents, and baitfish movements influence where dorado may appear throughout the year. The waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas benefit from the meeting of Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez influences, creating a diverse environment for offshore sportfishing. For Josh and his group, April 16 demonstrated that dorado fishing opportunities can develop even outside the traditionally stronger summer and fall periods. One Dorado Retained – A Successful Cabo Fishing Morning By noon, the four anglers had completed their six-hour charter aboard Blue Water. Their final catch was one dorado, which they elected to retain. Unlike marlin, which are released during Blue Sky Cabo charters, dorado may be kept when guests choose to retain their catch. The result was straightforward: the group requested dorado, the crew delivered a dorado fishing opportunity, and the anglers returned with their target species. Sometimes a successful fishing adventure is measured not by the number of fish caught, but by catching the exact fish you came to pursue. Four anglers. Six hours. One dorado caught and retained. Mission accomplished!
