October 6, 2023 – 4 Dorado Caught and 2 Skipjack Released – Cabo Fishing Report

Thomas, Roy, and Jamin, a three-person fishing group associated with Houston, Texas, boarded the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar on Friday, October 6, 2023, for a five-hour private fishing charter with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours.

Departing F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM, the group headed onto the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas for an early-morning offshore fishing experience. By the scheduled 11:00 AM return, the charter had recorded four dorado caught and two skipjack, with the skipjack released under Blue Sky Cabo’s species-handling policy.

This outing illustrates the appeal of a shorter morning charter during October, when warm offshore waters can support encounters with several species without requiring an entire day at sea.

Early Morning Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Five Hours on Blue Water

A 6:00 AM departure is particularly attractive for anglers who want to make the most of their morning in Cabo San Lucas.

For Thomas, Roy, and Jamin, the schedule provided five hours aboard a dedicated offshore sportfishing vessel while leaving the remainder of the day available for other activities.

Captain Oscar operates the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water, a vessel suited to private fishing parties seeking an engaging experience with a professional Cabo crew.

The Riviera’s fishing cockpit gives guests room to participate in the action, observe the crew’s preparations, and enjoy the experience of offshore sportfishing.

With only three passengers aboard, the group had a relatively spacious setting for a private morning excursion.

Dorado Cabo Fishing Report – Why October Produces Exciting Action

Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, are among the most popular game fish pursued around Cabo San Lucas during October.

These colorful predators are known for their rapid acceleration, acrobatic behavior, and willingness to feed aggressively when baitfish are concentrated.

They often patrol floating debris, drifting vegetation, and offshore current boundaries where smaller fish gather.

Several factors can influence dorado activity:

• Warm ocean water: Supports the seasonal presence of tropical and subtropical game fish.

• Floating objects: Can attract baitfish and create temporary feeding opportunities.

• Current boundaries: May concentrate food sources and influence predator movement.

• Surface activity: Feeding birds and baitfish disturbances can provide clues to nearby fish.

The precise fishing grounds and techniques used during this particular charter were not recorded.

Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Understanding Skipjack Encounters

Skipjack are another species frequently encountered in the waters surrounding southern Baja California.

These powerful schooling fish can produce fast strikes and energetic battles, making them an interesting addition to an offshore fishing trip.

They are commonly associated with baitfish activity and can appear in areas where other pelagic species are feeding.

For this charter, the two skipjack were recorded separately from the dorado and treated as release fish.

This distinction is important when reviewing historical fishing reports because different species may have different handling practices.

Blue Sky Cabo’s policy is to release skipjack while allowing guests to retain eligible food fish such as dorado, subject to applicable regulations.

Five-Hour Cabo Fishing Yacht Charter – Is a Morning Trip Worth Booking?

A five-hour fishing charter offers several advantages for visitors who want a focused offshore experience without committing an entire day.

Cabo San Lucas is unusual because deep water can be reached relatively quickly from the marina, creating opportunities to target pelagic species on shorter excursions.

The advantages of a morning departure include an earlier start, a convenient return time, and the possibility of fishing before afternoon conditions become more demanding.

Longer charters remain useful when fish are holding farther offshore, but a shorter reservation can be appealing when productive fishing areas are accessible within the available time.

This October 6 outing provides a useful historical example of a small group enjoying encounters with two offshore species during a five-hour booking.

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Report – The 35-Foot Riviera Blue Water

The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water is part of Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours’ private sportfishing fleet operating from IGY Marina.

Under Captain Oscar, the vessel accommodates guests interested in dorado, tuna, marlin, wahoo, and other seasonal Cabo fishing opportunities.

Blue Sky Cabo also offers larger yachts for groups seeking additional space and extended offshore excursions.

Selecting the appropriate vessel and charter duration depends on the group’s size, fishing priorities, and preferred onboard experience.

For smaller parties, the Blue Water provides a practical combination of private charter comfort and traditional offshore fishing.
