September 23, 2023 produced a productive mixed-species Cabo fishing charter for Kim, Michael, Cynthia and Matthew from the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area. Fishing aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Jorge, the four anglers completed their five-hour morning with 1 marlin released, 2 dorado landed and kept, and 1 skipjack released.
The 6:00 AM departure put Blue Star on the water around first light and gave Captain Jorge five hours to work the offshore fishing grounds before returning at 11:00 AM. The result combined billfish action with dorado and skipjack, producing four total fish across three species.
Cabo Marlin Fishing Produces a Successful Release
The marlin was the headline fish of the morning.
Few experiences define Cabo San Lucas fishing more clearly than hooking a marlin, and this September charter delivered that opportunity during a relatively compact five-hour fishing window.
After the fight, the marlin was successfully released.
That catch-and-release result gave the group a signature Cabo billfish encounter while allowing the fish to return to the water.
Two Dorado Add Productive Cabo Fishing Action
The charter was not limited to a single marlin opportunity.
Captain Jorge and the Blue Star crew also put the anglers on 2 dorado, both of which were landed and kept. Dorado added another major offshore game-fish species to the report and created additional action for the four-person group.
The final results included:
- 1 marlin released
- 2 dorado landed and kept
- 1 skipjack released
- 4 total fish
- 3 primary game fish
- 3 different species encountered
- 5 hours of Cabo fishing
For a five-hour morning charter, that combination provided both variety and quality.
Skipjack Creates a Third Cabo Fishing Species
A skipjack added another hookup and became the third species encountered during the charter.
Although the marlin and dorado represented the primary game-fish highlights, the skipjack contributed another fast-moving pelagic fish to the morning’s activity. It was released after being landed.
Mixed-species days can be especially interesting because anglers never know exactly which fish will attack the spread next. On September 23, the group experienced billfish, dorado and skipjack during the same five-hour trip.
Dredge Added to the Cabo Trolling Program
Blue Star incorporated the Dredge into the offshore trolling presentation.
The purpose of a dredge is to create the visual appearance of a concentrated bait school beneath the surface. It adds underwater attraction behind the boat while Captain Jorge and the crew troll productive water looking for active pelagic predators.
A dredge does not guarantee a catch, but it can add another important element to a professionally managed trolling spread.
On this morning, the overall program resulted in encounters with three different species and four completed catches.
Five-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter Delivers Variety
One of the strongest aspects of this report is the amount of variety produced within a five-hour Cabo fishing charter.
Longer trips naturally provide more time to search offshore waters, but not every successful fishing day requires eight or ten hours. When productive water and active fish are accessible, a five-hour morning can still generate quality opportunities.
Kim, Michael, Cynthia and Matthew departed at 6:00 AM and were scheduled back at 11:00 AM.
Within that window, Blue Star produced a marlin, two dorado and a skipjack.
For vacationing anglers balancing fishing with other activities in Cabo San Lucas, this trip demonstrates the potential of a well-executed five-hour charter.
September 23 Cabo Fishing Weather Conditions
The September 23 morning around Cabo San Lucas began warm, with early temperatures approximately 80–82°F before climbing toward the upper 80s by late morning.
Conditions were mostly clear to partly cloudy, with lighter winds early in the morning and increasing wind later. Humidity remained approximately 70–75%, while barometric pressure was near 1011–1013 mb and visibility was approximately six miles.
Sunrise occurred close to 6:09 AM, placing Blue Star’s 6:00 AM departure almost directly at first light.
This early departure maximized the available morning fishing window and allowed Captain Jorge to begin searching for offshore activity before the daytime temperatures increased.
Blue Star Produces a Balanced Cabo Fishing Report
This charter did not depend on an unusually large number of one species to create a strong result.
Instead, it delivered balance.
The marlin provided the premier billfish encounter. Two dorado added quality fish for the group to keep, while the skipjack supplied another hookup and a third species.
That combination made September 23 a useful example of the variety possible during Cabo San Lucas sport fishing, even on a five-hour trip.
Captain Jorge and the Blue Star crew converted the available opportunities into four completed catches while releasing both the marlin and skipjack.
Final Cabo Fishing Report Summary
September 23, 2023 produced a productive mixed-species morning aboard Blue Star for Kim, Michael, Cynthia and Matthew.
1 Marlin Released + 2 Dorado Kept + 1 Skipjack Released = 4 Fish and 3 Species During a 5-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter.
