September 14, 2023 was a high-production morning for Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters and Tours, with Forrest, Tricia, Cameron and Danielle landing 9 dorado and 3 skipjack during only five hours of fishing aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water. Captain Oscar put the Houston group on 12 game fish between the 6:00 AM departure and 11:00 AM return, making dorado the clear story of this Cabo fishing report.
Nine Dorado During Five Hours of Cabo Fishing
Nine dorado during a five-hour charter represents a strong concentration of fishing action. Rather than spending the morning waiting for one major opportunity, the group encountered enough activity to finish with double-digit game-fish numbers before returning to the Cabo Marina.
Dorado accounted for 75% of the total catch, with three skipjack adding to the action. Both species are aggressive fighters, and multiple hookups can quickly turn a trolling session into a busy cockpit.
September’s warm offshore water can create productive conditions for dorado around Cabo San Lucas as fish follow concentrations of bait, current edges and favorable water.
Captain Oscar’s job was straightforward but demanding: locate active fish, keep productive baits in the water and capitalize on the bite while it lasted.
September 14 Cabo Weather and Fishing Conditions
The charter began in warm early-morning conditions with air temperatures around 82°F, rising toward the upper 80s by late morning. Humidity was approximately 75–80%, typical of Cabo’s late-summer environment.
Winds were generally light during the morning, approximately 5–10 mph, while offshore seas were in the 3-to-4-foot range. The dominant swell approached from the south to southwest with an estimated 13-to-14-second period.
A longer-period swell generally creates more spacing between individual waves than short-period wind chop, an important distinction for anglers evaluating offshore conditions based solely on wave height.
The combination of warm temperatures, manageable morning wind and moderate swell gave Captain Oscar a useful five-hour fishing window, and the catch numbers show how effectively that time was used.
Blue Water Produces a Double-Digit Cabo Fishing Day
The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water provided the offshore platform for the September 14 trip. With 12 fish landed in five hours, the charter averaged more than two game fish per hour on the water.
That does not mean the bites arrived at perfectly spaced intervals. Cabo fishing rarely works that way. Offshore action can develop rapidly when a boat finds the correct combination of bait, water and feeding fish, making preparation particularly important.
When dorado are located, crews need to capitalize quickly. Fish can move, bait can scatter and a productive area can change within minutes. Maintaining the trolling spread, preparing baits and controlling the boat around multiple fish all become important when the bite accelerates.
Dorado Dominate the September Catch
The numbers from this trip are especially clear:
- 9 dorado
- 3 skipjack
- 12 total game fish
- 5-hour charter
- 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM
- Captain Oscar
- 35′ Riviera Blue Water
Forrest, Tricia, Cameron and Danielle were staying at the Hard Rock Hotel Los Cabos during their Cabo vacation, but their September 14 morning was dedicated to fishing.
By 11:00 AM, they had already accumulated a 12-fish total.
Five-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter Produces Strong Results
A five-hour charter provides less search time than a six-, eight- or ten-hour trip, which makes productive fishing periods particularly valuable. On this morning, Captain Oscar and the Blue Water crew found the action and converted the available opportunities into a substantial catch.
The final score of 9 dorado and 3 skipjack made September 14 a numbers-driven fishing day and another strong example of Cabo’s warm-season dorado fishery.
For anglers researching a Cabo San Lucas fishing charter, this report shows that the number of hours is only part of the equation. Location, timing, bait activity, ocean conditions, captain experience and the ability of the crew to capitalize when fish appear can all influence the final results.
For this Houston group, five hours aboard Blue Water produced exactly what matters in a fishing report: 12 game fish, 9 dorado and plenty of action before 11:00 AM.
