September 18, 2023 became a memorable Cabo fishing charter for Emily and Nicholas, with Emily arranging the eight-hour trip as a surprise for her husband. Staying at Marina Fiesta Resort, the Oregon couple headed out aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar and finished with 5 dorado landed and 2 skipjack released.
The charter departed at 6:00 AM and continued until 2:00 PM, giving Captain Oscar eight hours to search the productive waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. By the end of the trip, seven fish had been caught across two species, with dorado providing the primary game-fish action.
Cabo Dorado Fishing Produces Five Quality Fish
The headline result was 5 dorado.
Dorado are among the most popular species targeted on a Cabo fishing charter because of their aggressive strikes, speed, brilliant coloration and tendency to become airborne during the fight. When productive concentrations of dorado are located, multiple hookups can quickly transform an offshore trip into a highly active fishing day.
For Emily and Nicholas, five dorado provided exactly the kind of action that can make an eight-hour Cabo sport fishing charter memorable.
The final catch included:
- 5 dorado landed
- 2 skipjack caught and released
- 7 total fish
- 2 anglers
- 8 hours of Cabo fishing
- 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM charter
Surprise Cabo Fishing Charter for Nicholas
This trip carried an additional personal element because Emily arranged the Cabo fishing charter as a surprise for her husband.
Rather than simply booking a short excursion, the couple committed to a full eight-hour fishing day aboard Blue Water. That gave Captain Oscar enough time to search beyond the immediate marina area and remain with productive activity once fish were located.
For couples visiting Cabo San Lucas, a private fishing charter can provide a very different experience from a conventional resort activity. The boat, captain and crew are dedicated to the anglers, allowing the fishing program to focus on the species and conditions developing that day.
In this case, the surprise produced five dorado.
Two Skipjack Add More Cabo Fishing Action
In addition to the dorado, Emily and Nicholas caught 2 skipjack, with both fish released.
Skipjack are smaller than many of Cabo’s headline offshore species, but their speed and aggressive feeding behavior can create excellent light-tackle action. They are powerful for their size and frequently attack presentations with little hesitation.
The two skipjack increased the total catch to seven fish while adding another species to the day’s fishing report.
Both were successfully returned to the water.
Eight Hours Gives Blue Water More Fishing Time
An eight-hour Cabo fishing charter provides considerably more flexibility than a short half-day trip.
Captain Oscar had from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM to monitor conditions, search for signs of bait and game fish, change fishing areas when necessary and stay with productive activity.
That additional time can be particularly useful for dorado fishing because these fish are often associated with moving bait, current lines, floating debris and changes in offshore water conditions.
Instead of facing an early return to the marina, Blue Water could continue fishing through the late morning and into the early afternoon.
The result was seven total fish.
September 18 Cabo Fishing Weather Conditions
September continued to deliver warm late-summer conditions around Cabo San Lucas. Temperatures were approximately 80–82°F during the early portion of the morning before climbing toward 90–92°F later in the charter.
Conditions were mostly clear to partly cloudy, with relatively light early winds that increased as the day progressed. Humidity remained elevated at approximately 70–75%, while barometric pressure was around 1011–1013 mb.
Visibility was approximately six miles, and sunrise occurred around 6:07 AM, meaning Blue Water’s 6:00 AM departure positioned Emily and Nicholas to begin their fishing day almost exactly at first light.
Blue Water and Captain Oscar Produce a Seven-Fish Day
The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar provided the platform for a successful combination of dorado fishing and skipjack action.
The numbers were strong without becoming repetitive: five primary game fish, two additional fish released and seven total catches during eight hours.
More importantly, the trip delivered on the reason Emily booked it in the first place — creating a memorable surprise fishing experience for Nicholas during their Cabo vacation.
Cabo Fishing Surprise Ends With Five Dorado
By the time Blue Water returned to the Cabo Marina at 2:00 PM, Emily and Nicholas had completed a full eight-hour day and experienced two different offshore species.
The 5 dorado were the standout result, while the 2 released skipjack provided additional action and brought the day’s total to seven fish.
For travelers staying near the Cabo Marina, including Marina Fiesta Resort, a private Cabo San Lucas fishing charter provides the opportunity to move quickly from the resort environment to a full offshore sport-fishing experience.
For Emily and Nicholas, the surprise worked.
Final Result: 5 Dorado Landed + 2 Skipjack Released = 7 Fish During an 8-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter.
