Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Three Species in Six Hours
The variety of fish encountered made this charter particularly interesting.
Dorado, also called mahi-mahi, are known for their striking colors, powerful runs and lively surface action. Four dorado formed the largest portion of the day’s catch.
The marlin added a different dimension to the fishing experience. Marlin are among Cabo San Lucas’s signature offshore game fish, prized for their strength and challenging fights.
In accordance with Blue Sky Cabo’s conservation practices, the marlin was released.
The sixth fish was a skipjack, a fast-moving member of the tuna family. The skipjack was also released.
Captain Oscar and the Blue Water crew completed the morning with six fish caught across three species.
Individual fish weights and the precise offshore fishing grounds were not provided in the charter record.

Cabo Fishing Charter – Tournament Dredge Equipment
The charter included the Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device, an offshore trolling system used to imitate a school of baitfish moving through the water.
The presentation is designed to attract the attention of predatory species, including marlin, dorado and tuna.
Dredge fishing is one of several techniques employed in offshore sportfishing, particularly when crews are searching for fish attracted to concentrated bait activity.
For Jared’s group, the equipment was included in their private charter package.
The booking confirms the dredge was included but does not identify which individual catches resulted from its presentation.
Cabo Fishing Charter – Six Guests From Des Moines
Jared organized the six-hour charter for a group of six adults from Des Moines, Iowa.
The party included Hillary, Jeremy, Risa, Stan and Leslee, creating an opportunity for the group to enjoy offshore fishing together aboard a private vessel.
Several details distinguished the January 29 outing:
- Four dorado caught during the morning charter
- One marlin caught and released
- One skipjack caught and released
- Six guests aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water
- Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device included
The private arrangement allowed the guests to participate in a shared fishing experience without unrelated passengers aboard.
Cabo Sportfishing Charter – Morning Fishing on Blue Water
A six-hour private charter offers anglers an early departure and several hours of offshore fishing before returning around midday.
For Jared’s group, the schedule began at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM.
Captain Oscar directed the fishing operation aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water, with the vessel scheduled to return at noon.
The combination of dorado, marlin and skipjack provided variety during the morning.
While the four dorado accounted for most of the catch, the released marlin was an additional highlight for the six guests.
