Cabo Dorado Fishing Brings Color to the Morning
The first species on the catch report was a dorado, also known as mahi-mahi.
Dorado are among Cabo San Lucas's most recognizable offshore game fish, famous for their brilliant gold, green, and electric blue colors.
These fish are also known for aggressive strikes, energetic fights, and excellent table quality.
Although warmer months often produce more consistent dorado fishing around Cabo, spring can still offer opportunities when favorable ocean conditions and baitfish activity bring these fish into the area.
For Scott, Jake, and Angie, the dorado added a colorful highlight to their offshore adventure.
One dorado was caught and retained, contributing to the group's successful mixed-species fishing morning.
Mako Shark Fishing Adds a Powerful Encounter
The second species caught during the April 16 charter was a mako shark.
Makos are powerful offshore predators, recognized for their remarkable speed, streamlined bodies, and impressive strength.
These sharks are capable of energetic runs and can provide challenging encounters for sportfishing crews and anglers.
Cabo San Lucas offers access to deep Pacific waters where different shark species may be encountered.
For Scott's group, the mako shark added a very different type of game fish to their morning.
The mako shark was successfully released, returning this remarkable predator to the ocean.
Skipjack Tuna Completes the Three-Species Catch
The third species recorded was a skipjack tuna.
Skipjack are fast-moving members of the tuna family, often associated with baitfish concentrations and active offshore feeding activity.
Although generally smaller than yellowfin tuna, skipjack are energetic fighters and can provide plenty of action during a fishing charter.
Their presence may also indicate productive fishing conditions where baitfish and larger predators are feeding.
For Scott, Jake, and Angie, the skipjack completed an interesting combination of offshore species.
One skipjack was caught and released, bringing the final tally to three fish across three species.
Cabo Fishing Charter Upgrade to the 43-Foot Blue Sky Riviera
Another enjoyable feature of the April 16 adventure was the group's upgrade from the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera to the larger 43-foot Blue Sky Riviera.
The Blue Sky offers a spacious private sportfishing environment, combining a practical fishing cockpit with room to enjoy the ocean.
With only three anglers aboard, Scott, Jake, and Angie enjoyed the advantages of having an entire fishing yacht reserved exclusively for their group.
Private Cabo fishing charters provide dedicated crew attention and a personalized offshore experience.
The upgraded Riviera added another memorable element to a morning already filled with three different game fish encounters.
April Cabo Fishing – Three Species in Five Hours
One of the most exciting aspects of Cabo San Lucas sportfishing is the variety of species that can be encountered during a single outing.
The region's offshore waters are influenced by both the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez, creating a diverse environment for game fish.
Changing currents, water temperatures, and baitfish movements can influence which species anglers encounter during spring.
Scott's April 16 charter demonstrated this variety with a dorado, mako shark, and skipjack tuna all caught during five hours offshore.
Each species brought something different to the fishing experience.
Responsible Cabo Fishing – Two Successful Releases
The final catch included one dorado retained, while both the mako shark and skipjack were released.
