October 30, 2023 – 1 Marlin Caught and Released
Monday, October 30 brought Lori, John, Tracy, Clint, Glenn, Jeanine, Janine, and Scott aboard the 60′ Bertram Blue Sea for a five-hour morning with Captain Alex. The group departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:15 AM and returned at 11:15 AM after successfully catching and releasing one marlin.
For eight anglers sharing a private boat, a marlin encounter can become the defining moment of the morning. The strike, fight, teamwork around the cockpit, and successful release combine into an experience that represents one of the primary reasons anglers travel to Cabo.

A Marlin Release Defines This Cabo Charter During a Morning of Fishing
Marlin fishing is built around opportunity. Hours of searching can suddenly turn into concentrated action when a billfish approaches the trolling presentation.
Once hooked, the challenge changes immediately. The angler must maintain controlled pressure while Captain Alex manages the boat and the crew handles the surrounding equipment. A strong marlin can make powerful runs, change direction and use its size against the tackle.
The October 30 encounter ended exactly as intended: with the fish successfully released.

Eight Anglers Experience Cabo Fishing from a 60′ Bertram Charter
Blue Sea provides a substantially different platform from the smaller boats in the Blue Sky Cabo fleet. At 60 feet, the Bertram offers space particularly useful for larger private groups spending several hours offshore.
With eight guests aboard, that room becomes valuable when fishing activity develops. The angler fighting the fish needs working space, while the captain and crew need to maneuver without unnecessary congestion.
The larger platform also gives guests room to enjoy the offshore experience when they are not actively on the rod.
For Lori, John, Tracy, Clint, Glenn, Jeanine, Janine, and Scott, the private format meant the entire vessel and fishing experience could be shared among their own group.
Late October Gives a Cabo Charter Diverse Fishing Possibilities
Late October is an exciting period in Cabo because anglers can potentially encounter several offshore game fish as seasonal conditions evolve around southern Baja.
Possible species during this portion of the calendar include:
- Striped marlin
- Blue marlin
- Dorado
- Yellowfin tuna
- Wahoo
- Sailfish
Those are seasonal possibilities rather than a description of this particular catch. On October 30, the recorded game fish was one marlin.
Keeping the actual result separate from general seasonal opportunities provides future anglers with a more accurate historical picture.
Reading Offshore Water Makes Every Fishing Charter Around Cabo Different
Successful offshore fishing requires observation throughout the trip.
Crews watch for birds, bait activity, surface disturbances, floating material, current boundaries and other signs that can justify concentrating effort in a particular area. Recent fishing information provides useful background, but conditions encountered after leaving the marina ultimately determine how a captain responds.
Marlin add another challenge because they can travel enormous areas of open water while following favorable conditions and available food.
There is no fixed offshore route that produces the same result every morning. Adapting to the Pacific is part of the process.

Responsible Marlin Fishing Completes This Cabo Charter with a Release
Catching a marlin is only part of the experience aboard Blue Sky Cabo. Releasing the fish allows the encounter to conclude with the billfish returning to the ocean.
That approach also creates a different kind of memory from bringing an edible species such as dorado or tuna back to the marina. The reward is the fight itself—the strike, the pressure on the rod, the first sight of the fish and the moment it is released.
For this October morning, one marlin was enough to give eight anglers aboard Blue Sea a shared offshore experience worth recording.
