September 19, 2023 – 8 Tuna, 1 Dorado, 1 Shark – Cabo Fishing Report
Eight tuna, one dorado and one shark created a ten-fish, three-species day for Morgan and Rayburn during an eight-hour charter with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours on September 19, 2023.
The two anglers departed F Dock at IGY Marina aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water at 6:00 AM with Captain Oscar. Their full-day charter continued until 2:00 PM and included lunch for both guests.
Tuna dominated the action, accounting for eight of the ten fish recorded. A dorado added another classic Cabo game fish before a shark completed a diverse September catch.

Tuna Dominate Cabo Fishing Charter Results
Eight tuna were the headline numbers from this charter.
For only two anglers aboard Blue Water, eight tuna represented substantial fishing action during the eight-hour trip. Tuna accounted for 80% of the total recorded catch.
Tuna are among the most popular offshore game fish encountered around Cabo San Lucas. Their combination of speed, endurance and raw pulling power creates a very different battle from surface-oriented species such as dorado or marlin.
Once hooked, tuna frequently use their strength beneath the surface, forcing anglers to work against sustained pressure.
The historical booking record identifies the catch simply as eight tuna. It does not specify the exact tuna species.
For that reason, this report preserves the original record rather than automatically identifying them as yellowfin tuna.
The important number remains impressive:
Eight tuna for two anglers.
Dorado Adds Color to Cabo Sportfishing Catch
The ninth fish recorded aboard Blue Water was a dorado.
Dorado are instantly recognizable because of the brilliant colors they can display when excited. Bright yellow, electric green and blue can transform these fish into one of the most visually impressive catches in Cabo sportfishing.
They are also aggressive predators.
Dorado can strike a trolling presentation with speed, change direction rapidly and produce spectacular surface action during a fight.
September’s warm offshore environment can provide opportunities for dorado alongside tuna and billfish, creating the possibility of mixed-species charters.
Morgan and Rayburn experienced exactly that kind of variety.
Eight tuna established the volume.
The dorado added a completely different game-fish encounter.
And there was still another species to come.
Shark Completes Cabo Fishing Report Catch
One shark completed the day’s ten-fish total.
The original charter record does not identify the shark species. Therefore, this historical fishing report does not attempt to classify it as a mako, hammerhead or another species without documentation.
What can be stated confidently is that the shark gave Morgan and Rayburn their third type of fish during the charter.
That diversity made the September 19 trip especially interesting.
8 Tuna | 1 Dorado | 1 Shark
10 Total Fish | 3 Types of Fish | 2 Anglers
A mixed catch like this demonstrates one of the attractions of offshore fishing around Cabo San Lucas: anglers may begin the morning targeting one opportunity and encounter several different predators during the same trip.
Eight-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter Provides More Time
Morgan and Rayburn selected an eight-hour charter aboard Blue Water.
The yacht departed at 6:00 AM and returned at 2:00 PM.
A longer fishing day can give the captain and crew additional flexibility compared with shorter trips. Offshore conditions evolve as the day progresses. Bait concentrations can shift, currents can change and fishing activity can develop in different areas.
Captain Oscar had a full eight-hour window to work with on this charter.
Lunch for two was included, helping Morgan and Rayburn enjoy the longer fishing day without needing to interrupt their offshore experience.
The result was ten recorded fish.
That works out to an average of five fish per guest, although offshore fishing is never about simply dividing catch totals by the number of anglers.
The more important story is the combination of volume and variety.
Accurate Cabo Sportfishing Report Preserves the Record
Historical fishing reports become increasingly valuable when the information remains tied to the original charter records.
For September 19, the documented information is strong.
The boat was the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water.
Captain Oscar operated the charter.
Morgan and Rayburn were the two guests.
The fishing day lasted eight hours.
Eight tuna, one dorado and one shark were recorded.
The original notes do not specify the exact fishing grounds, shark species, tuna species, lure selection or individual hookup sequence.
Those details aren’t necessary to make the report interesting.
The catch already tells a strong Cabo fishing story.
Blue Water Delivers Ten-Fish Cabo Fishing Day
By the time Blue Water returned to F Dock at 2:00 PM, Morgan and Rayburn had completed a productive full-day fishing adventure.
Eight tuna supplied most of the action.
One dorado added one of Cabo’s most colorful offshore game fish.
One shark completed a three-species result.
For two anglers aboard a private Riviera sportfishing yacht, it was an excellent September entry in the Blue Sky Cabo historical fishing archive.
