2 Dorado Caught and Kept
Sunday, October 29, 2023 brought Linda, Sam, Lena, Wilson, and Sam aboard the 35′ Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar for an early morning on the Pacific. Departing F Dock at 6:00 AM, the group had five hours available before returning to the Cabo San Lucas Marina at 11:00 AM.
The morning produced two dorado, with both fish caught and kept. It was a straightforward late-October result involving one of the most colorful and exciting offshore species found around southern Baja.

Early Fishing Gives This Cabo Charter a Full Morning on the Pacific
Leaving the marina at 6:00 AM allows a five-hour trip to use virtually the entire morning. For Captain Oscar, the shorter schedule places additional importance on efficiently searching offshore water because there is less time available for major changes in location than on an eight- or ten-hour trip.
For guests, the schedule offers a different advantage. A morning charter can provide a genuine offshore fishing experience while leaving much of the afternoon open for other activities around Cabo.
On October 29, that window was sufficient to put two dorado aboard.
Dorado Bring Speed and Color to a Fishing Charter off Cabo
Few offshore species make a stronger first impression than dorado.
Their vivid green, gold, yellow and blue coloration is unmistakable beside the boat, while their speed makes the fight equally memorable. Hooked dorado can accelerate rapidly, change direction and launch from the surface in an attempt to throw the hook.
That combination makes them enjoyable for experienced fishermen without requiring guests to be seasoned offshore anglers.
Once a dorado enters the action, the crew also watches carefully for additional fish. Dorado can sometimes travel near bait, floating structure or other productive features, meaning one hookup can quickly create another opportunity.
Late October Expands the Cabo Charter Possibilities for Fishing
October occupies an interesting place on the Cabo calendar because warm offshore conditions can support several sought-after pelagic species.
Depending on daily water conditions, bait and fish movement, anglers during this period may encounter:
- Dorado
- Yellowfin tuna
- Wahoo
- Striped marlin
- Blue marlin
- Sailfish
Those species represent seasonal possibilities, not the recorded catch from this particular trip. Blue Water’s October 29 result consisted specifically of two dorado.
Separating actual results from seasonal potential keeps each fishing report useful as a historical reference rather than turning general information into a prediction.
Reading Cabo Water Helps a Fishing Charter Find Opportunity
Offshore water may appear featureless from a distance, but experienced crews continually search for small clues.
Birds working above the surface can indicate bait. Floating debris and weed lines may attract marine life. Current boundaries can concentrate food, while visible surface activity may reveal predators already feeding.
Dorado are particularly interesting because they frequently associate with bait and floating offshore structure.
Captain Oscar’s role therefore involves much more than navigating away from the marina. Reading the surrounding environment and deciding where to spend limited charter time are fundamental parts of the fishing process.

Five Guests Share a Private Fishing Experience on a Cabo Charter
The 35′ Riviera gives a group of five room to enjoy the trip while maintaining a functional cockpit when fishing becomes active.
A private boat also keeps the experience within one group. Linda, Sam, Lena, Wilson, and Sam could enjoy their morning together without sharing the vessel with unrelated anglers.
When a fish is hooked, the advantages become apparent. The angler needs working space, the crew may need to clear tackle, and Captain Oscar must position the boat while monitoring the fight.
Charter Highlights
- Five-hour morning trip
- Five anglers aboard
- Captain Oscar at the helm
- 35′ Riviera Blue Water
- Two dorado landed
- Both dorado retained
- 6:00 AM departure
- 11:00 AM return
Fresh Dorado Extends a Cabo Charter Beyond the Fishing
Dorado provides an additional benefit for anglers interested in bringing home edible fish.
Unlike Blue Sky Cabo’s billfish release approach, dorado can be retained when appropriate and permitted. Its firm, mild flesh works particularly well grilled, seared or prepared as Baja-style fish tacos.
That gives guests an opportunity to connect the offshore experience with a meal later in their Cabo vacation.
For this group, the story remained refreshingly simple: an early start aboard Blue Water, five hours on the Pacific, and two dorado brought back to the marina.
