James and Margaux from the Frederick, Maryland area spent five hours aboard the 32′ Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Jorge on November 4, 2023. Originally scheduled as a four-hour trip, the charter was extended by one hour and ultimately ran from 6:30 AM until 11:30 AM.
The additional time contributed to a four-fish morning featuring two species. Three dorado were caught and kept, while one skipjack was released.

Three Dorado Lead the Action for This Cabo Fishing Charter
Dorado accounted for most of the morning’s catch and gave James and Margaux repeated opportunities during a relatively compact trip. Three dorado between two anglers created a productive result without requiring a full-day charter, while all three fish were retained as quality table fish.
Dorado are a distinctive part of the Cabo offshore fishery, combining powerful runs and energetic fights with the vivid coloration that makes the species instantly recognizable. Their presence in early November also adds another useful entry to the historical record as fall fishing continued around southern Baja.
The fourth fish of the morning provided a different encounter. A skipjack was caught and released, adding a second species to the day’s result and giving the charter more variety than the final dorado count alone would suggest.
An Extra Hour Expands the Cabo Charter and Its Fishing Opportunity
The original calendar record is especially useful because it documents a change during the trip. James and Margaux were initially booked for four hours, but the charter was extended by an additional hour, producing an actual fishing window of five hours.
That distinction is worth preserving. Historical reports are most valuable when they reflect what actually occurred rather than relying only on the original reservation. In this case, the 6:30 AM departure and 11:30 AM return establish the five-hour duration clearly.
An extra hour on the water does not guarantee another fish, but it does create additional opportunity. Fishing develops on its own schedule, and remaining out longer can give anglers more time to encounter changing activity.
November 4 Catch Record

| Total | 4 | 3 | 1 |
Charter Highlights
- Three dorado caught and kept
- One skipjack caught and released
- Four total fish across two species
- Two anglers from the Frederick, Maryland area
- Original four-hour charter extended by one hour
- Five actual hours on the water
- Another early-November mixed-species result
Two Species Give This Cabo Fishing Charter More Variety
The combination of dorado and skipjack created two different fishing experiences during the same morning. Dorado provided the primary action and the fish retained for the table, while the released skipjack added another species to the historical record.
For a two-person charter, four fish over five hours also meant the catch was concentrated among only two anglers. Rather than presenting the numbers without context, recording group size and actual charter duration gives a clearer picture of the experience.
Five Hours Add Another Cabo Charter to the November Fishing Record
James and Margaux’s November 4 trip is a useful example of why original charter records matter. What began as a scheduled four-hour outing became five hours on the water, eventually producing three dorado and one skipjack.
The result was neither exaggerated nor complicated: two anglers, four fish, two species and an extra hour added to the morning.
For the Blue Sky Cabo archive, the trip contributes another verified snapshot of early-November fishing and preserves the details that make each charter different: three dorado kept, one skipjack released and five hours spent on the water.
