Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report

Cabo Fishing Report – 80-Pound Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado August 29, 2026 1 Yellowfin Tuna and 1 Dorado During a Six-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter A family from White Plains, New York enjoyed a productive late-August fishing trip aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Chewy. Edit, Julio, Isabella and Kennedy spent six hours fishing the warm waters around Cabo San Lucas and finished the charter with two quality pelagic fish. The standout catch was an approximately 80-pound yellowfin tuna. A 20-pound dorado added a second species and brought the estimated combined weight of the two fish to approximately 100 pounds.

At approximately 80 pounds, this was a substantial tuna requiring much more than a quick fight. Yellowfin are powerful swimmers built for sustained speed and endurance. Larger fish can make hard initial runs before settling into the deeper stages of the battle. Captain Chewy and the crew helped the anglers maintain pressure while keeping the boat positioned during the fight. Successfully bringing the tuna aboard turned one offshore opportunity into the biggest catch of the family's morning. August 29 Catch Results Species Approx. Weight Result Yellowfin Tuna 80 lbs Caught Dorado 20 lbs Caught Combined Catch 100 lbs 2 Game Fish The numbers show why the tuna became the centerpiece of the trip, but the dorado provided valuable species variety during a relatively compact six-hour fishing window. Dorado Adds Color and Speed to the Cabo Fishing Day The approximately 20-pound dorado created a very different offshore experience. Dorado are known for rapid acceleration, aggressive strikes and brilliant coloration. Once hooked, they can produce quick runs and aerial action that contrast sharply with the sustained strength of a large yellowfin tuna. Catching both species allowed the family to experience two distinct styles of Cabo fishing during the same morning. Warm August Conditions Around Cabo Water temperature was approximately 88°F, with air temperature beginning around 84°F and climbing into the upper 80s. Winds were approximately 9–12 mph under a mixture of clouds and sunshine. Captain Chewy could continually watch the surrounding water for signs that might reveal productive areas, including: Concentrations of baitfish Working birds Current seams Surface disturbances Floating structure or debris These observations are particularly valuable during a six-hour charter because making productive use of the available fishing time matters.

The 80-pound yellowfin delivered the strength and endurance associated with larger tuna, while the 20-pound dorado brought speed, color and a completely different fight. Approximately 100 pounds of combined fish during a six-hour charter made this a productive family outing aboard Blue Star and another example of the species variety available during late-summer fishing in Cabo San Lucas.
