Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters Report

September 29, 2026 – Marlin & Sailfish – 2 Billfish Released A strong six-hour Cabo charter aboard the 35' Riviera Blue Water put Dennis and his group of three anglers into two different billfish species on September 29. Captain Oscar found the productive water approximately two miles off Whale’s Head, where the group caught and released one marlin and one sailfish.

With only six hours available, Captain Oscar did not need to spend a large portion of the morning running toward distant offshore banks. Productive water was approximately two miles off Whale’s Head, allowing Blue Water to put the trolling spread to work relatively quickly. Dredge Fishing Outside Whale’s Head The dredge was incorporated into the trolling program to create a larger subsurface bait presentation behind Blue Water. Warm water approaching 88°F provided classic late-September conditions around the tip of Baja California Sur. Oscar concentrated on the nearby zone instead of running past water that was already showing potential. The marlin provided the first major billfish encounter. Once the fish committed to the presentation, the group experienced the fight before the crew worked the marlin alongside the Riviera. It was successfully released. The sailfish brought a different style of action. Sailfish are capable of quick acceleration, rapid direction changes and aerial displays, making them a very different opponent despite belonging to the same broader billfish category. That fish was also successfully released. Six Hours of Cabo Fishing The charter ran from 7:30 AM until 1:30 PM with three anglers aboard. One of the advantages on this particular morning was efficiency. Finding suitable water approximately two miles offshore meant more of the available charter window could be devoted to trolling and working the productive zone. Environmental conditions were firmly on the warm side. Water was approximately 87.8°F, morning air temperatures were in the low 80s and temperatures increased toward approximately 90°F later in the trip. The moon remained bright at roughly 91% illumination in its waning-gibbous phase, while early winds were around 12 knots from the south-southwest. Captain Oscar's decision to concentrate on the Whale’s Head area resulted in two distinct billfish encounters during a six-hour trip, with both fish returning to the water.
