Cabo Fishing Report – Dorado – Six Dorado on the 32 Foot Luhrs
August 4, 2023
32 Foot Luhrs – Captain Jorge
Six dorado turned an August morning off Cabo San Lucas into a fast-moving day of color, bent rods and repeated opportunities for Memorie, Daniel, Erin and Devin. Visiting from the Houston, Texas area, the group boarded the 32 Foot Luhrs with Captain Jorge for a six-hour Cabo fishing charter on August 4, 2023. Instead of relying on one lucky encounter, the crew found enough productive water to put six dorado into the day’s catch, making this one of those summer trips where staying alert mattered from the first trolling pass to the final run toward the marina.
August had firmly established its warm-water pattern around southern Baja. Historical weather data for Los Cabos records a low of approximately 84°F and a daytime high near 95°F on August 4, with no measurable rainfall reported in that dataset. Historical sea-temperature records place the Cabo San Lucas water at approximately 30°C, or 86°F, on the same date.
Those warm conditions are particularly relevant when targeting dorado in Cabo San Lucas. Dorado thrive around productive offshore water where bait, current boundaries, floating structure and temperature changes can create temporary feeding zones. Finding one fish can be important; finding six requires the crew to recognize the opportunity and continue working it effectively.
Captain Jorge and the crew used the maneuverability of the 32 Foot Luhrs to search for those visual clues. Rather than treating offshore trolling as simply driving a predetermined route, successful Cabo fishing involves constantly studying the surface. Birds, baitfish, current seams, patches of floating debris and subtle differences in water color can all influence the decision to change direction, alter a presentation or remain in a productive area.
The August 4 trip produced:
- 6 dorado
- 6-hour private fishing charter
- 32 Foot Luhrs
- Captain Jorge
- Air temperature: approximately 84°F to 95°F
- Water temperature: approximately 86°F
- Main guest city: Houston, Texas
Dorado create a distinctive type of excitement aboard a fishing boat. Their initial strike can be explosive, and once hooked they are capable of accelerating rapidly across the surface before launching into the air. Their extraordinary coloration is another reason anglers remember them. Electric blue, green and brilliant yellow can appear across the body while the fish is actively fighting.
With several anglers aboard, multiple dorado also create an opportunity for the crew to demonstrate organization. Lines must remain separated, anglers need direction and the captain may have to maneuver the boat while another bait or lure remains in productive water. One fish can quickly become another opportunity when additional dorado are traveling nearby.
For Memorie, Daniel, Erin and Devin, six fish meant the action was shared throughout the group rather than being centered around a single hookup. That makes a family or friends Cabo fishing charter particularly memorable because different anglers can experience the strike, fight and anticipation that comes when another dorado appears behind the boat.
A six-hour trip also provides an effective balance between fishing time and range. Captain Jorge had enough time to evaluate conditions beyond the marina entrance while remaining focused on productive water once the dorado pattern developed. The goal is always to spend less time blindly searching and more time presenting bait and tackle where fish are showing signs of activity.
This adaptive approach is an important part of Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours. Crews can work with professional tackle, live and rigged bait, trolling lures and teaser presentations while continually adjusting to what the Pacific is showing that morning. No two Cabo fishing days unfold identically, which is why experienced captains remain willing to change speed, direction, lure position and fishing area as conditions evolve.
Warm August water can bring several pelagic species into the broader Cabo ecosystem, but on this particular morning the dorado clearly became the headline. Six fish provided a strong catch for a six-hour charter and demonstrated why summer is such an exciting period for anglers interested in fast-moving offshore action.
The 32 Foot Luhrs also offers an effective platform for smaller private groups who want to concentrate on fishing without moving to a much larger yacht. Captain Jorge could work the boat around developing opportunities while the crew remained close to the anglers and tackle throughout each hookup.
By the time the Luhrs headed back toward Cabo San Lucas Marina, the fishing story was straightforward but impressive: four guests from the Houston area, six hours on the Pacific and six dorado.
More importantly, every fish represented a separate moment—the strike, the call from the crew, the rod loading under pressure and another brilliantly colored dorado appearing beside the boat.
That combination of experienced decision-making, capable equipment and personalized service is what Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours works to bring to each private charter. Cabo may provide the warm water and migrating game fish, but recognizing the opportunity and turning it into hookups remains the job of the captain and crew.
On August 4, Captain Jorge and the 32 Foot Luhrs did exactly that, producing six dorado and giving Memorie, Daniel, Erin and Devin a productive summer Cabo San Lucas fishing experience to take home to Houston.
