Two dorado rewarded Eric and Vanessa from Conroe, Texas, during an eight-hour Cabo fishing charter aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Jorge on September 8, 2023. The full-day charter combined exceptionally warm September water, an active dredge presentation and enough fishing time for Captain Jorge to explore productive offshore zones around Cabo San Lucas while responding to changing bait, current and surface conditions.
Two Dorado Highlighted This September Cabo Fishing Charter Aboard Blue Star
Dorado were the primary catch of the day, with two fish providing Eric and Vanessa with the combination of aggressive strikes, powerful runs and spectacular coloration that makes mahi-mahi one of the most recognizable species in Cabo fishing.
September is particularly important for dorado because warm Pacific water can push productive current lines and concentrations of bait toward the southern Baja Peninsula. Dorado frequently associate with floating debris, weed lines, current boundaries and concentrated baitfish, making visual observation an important part of the search.
Captain Jorge could therefore combine trolling with constant evaluation of birds, floating structure, water color, temperature changes and signs of feeding activity.
Dredge Fishing Strengthened the Cabo Charter Trolling Presentation
Blue Star fished with the dredge, providing Captain Jorge with another important tool for attracting offshore predators.
A properly presented dredge creates the appearance of a concentrated school of bait moving behind the boat. Instead of relying exclusively on individual lures or baits to attract fish, the larger underwater profile can pull curious dorado and other pelagic predators toward the trolling spread.
Once a fish approaches, carefully positioned baits and lures provide the final targets.
Dredge fishing is particularly valuable when fish are scattered across large areas of warm offshore water because increasing the visual presence behind the boat can help transform a passing predator into an interested fish.
Warm September Cabo Water Reached Approximately 86 Degrees
Historical water-temperature records indicate approximately 86°F water around Cabo San Lucas on September 8, 2023, placing this trip firmly within the warm-water portion of the annual Cabo fishing calendar.
Those temperatures can support an impressive mixture of pelagic species, including dorado, yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, striped marlin, sailfish, wahoo and skipjack.
Warm water alone, however, never guarantees productive fishing. Successful captains still need to locate favorable current, bait concentrations, temperature boundaries, clean water and other indicators capable of concentrating game fish.
For this charter, the final result of two dorado confirmed that Captain Jorge located fish within the productive September offshore environment.
Historical Cabo Fishing Weather Provided Light Morning Winds
Weather conditions began relatively comfortable for an early September morning, with temperatures near 81°F around 6:00 AM before climbing to approximately 85°F by 9:00 AM and 88°F around noon.
Morning wind was also relatively light, running near 6 mph around departure time and approximately 7 mph by 9:00 AM before strengthening toward 11 mph around midday.
Humidity remained high at approximately 82%, which is characteristic of Cabo’s late-summer tropical environment. Historical records indicate approximately 53% cloud cover and limited precipitation around 0.9 mm during the day.
For an eight-hour charter, changing wind throughout the day is important because Captain Jorge can adjust trolling direction, boat position and fishing location as conditions evolve.
Waning Crescent Moon Accompanied the September Cabo Fishing Trip
The moon was in a Waning Crescent phase, with approximately 34–35% illumination on September 8.
Lunar phase is only one component of the larger offshore picture, yet experienced captains consider it alongside tides, current, bait movement, water temperature, wind and recent catch information.
The most important factor remains finding active fish, which is where an eight-hour charter can provide a meaningful advantage.
Eight Hours Expanded the Cabo Fishing Range for Captain Jorge
An eight-hour Cabo fishing charter gives the captain substantially more flexibility than a shorter excursion because travel time does not consume such a large percentage of the day.
Captain Jorge could investigate different offshore zones, remain with promising signs longer and change strategies when conditions warranted rather than being forced to return shortly after locating productive water.
For Eric and Vanessa, that extended fishing window ultimately produced two dorado aboard Blue Star.
Blue Sky Cabo Delivers Another Productive Cabo Fishing Experience
This September 8 trip demonstrates that a successful day of Cabo San Lucas fishing is built from multiple elements working together: experienced local decision-making, adequate fishing time, productive warm water, quality tackle and an effective offshore presentation.
Captain Jorge combined the maneuverability of the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with an eight-hour fishing window and dredge system to search for active pelagic fish throughout the day.
The final result was two dorado for Eric and Vanessa from Conroe, Texas, adding another successful warm-water trip to the Blue Star fishing record.
For anglers considering September Cabo fishing, this report illustrates why the month offers such compelling possibilities. Warm Pacific water, multiple offshore species and the ability to encounter dorado, tuna, wahoo and billfish make September an exciting period to book a private Cabo fishing charter with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours.
