November 16, 2023 delivered a productive mixed-species morning for Chris, Kade and Mitchell aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water. The three anglers booked a five-hour private charter, fishing from 7:30 AM until 12:30 PM.
Their morning produced one marlin and two dorado, giving the group three game fish across two of the best-known offshore species found around Cabo San Lucas.
The marlin was released in keeping with Blue Sky Cabo’s billfish policy, while the dorado added a completely different style of action to the morning.

Two Species Add Variety to Cabo Fishing
A mixed catch can change the character of a fishing trip because different species create different experiences for the anglers.
The billfish encounter provided the largest individual event of the charter. Once the fish was hooked, the focus shifted toward completing the fight and bringing it close enough to the boat for a successful release.
The two dorado added another dimension.
Dorado, also widely known as mahi-mahi, are famous for their bright coloration and energetic fighting style. They can accelerate quickly after being hooked and frequently produce exciting surface action.
For three anglers sharing a five-hour private trip, catching three game fish across two species created a balanced morning rather than having the entire charter depend on one encounter.
Five-Hour Cabo Fishing Produces Three Game Fish
Kade’s group did not book an eight- or ten-hour offshore day. Their scheduled charter covered five hours, beginning at 7:30 AM and concluding at 12:30 PM.
That makes the final result particularly useful as a historical fishing record.
Shorter trips naturally provide fewer hours to search for productive water and locate active fish. Success is never guaranteed regardless of charter length, but this particular morning came together with three catches during the available window.
The group experienced both billfish and dorado action without spending the entire day offshore.
For visitors balancing fishing with other Cabo activities, a five-hour trip can offer a practical option. The tradeoff is less total fishing time, but November 16 demonstrates that a shorter charter can still produce a memorable result when opportunities develop.
Marlin Release Highlights Responsible Cabo Fishing
The marlin caught aboard Blue Water was released.
Blue Sky Cabo practices catch and release for marlin, making the successful return of the fish an important part of the charter record.
| Cabo Fishing Result | Total |
|---|---|
| Marlin Caught | 1 |
| Marlin Released | 1 |
| Dorado Caught | 2 |
| Total Game Fish | 3 |
The release completed the billfish encounter while the two dorado gave the group additional action during their five-hour morning.
Recording the catch this way also provides a clear historical account without exaggerating the day. Three anglers went fishing aboard Blue Water and finished with three game fish representing two offshore species.
Blue Water Provides a Private Cabo Fishing Platform
The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water sits between the smaller Blue Star and the larger boats in the Blue Sky Cabo fleet, providing another option for private groups.
For Chris, Kade and Mitchell, the boat accommodated three anglers for a compact morning charter.
A smaller group can create a very personal fishing experience because there are fewer guests sharing the available opportunities. With three anglers and three game fish recorded during this trip, there was plenty of activity to keep the group engaged.
The 7:30 AM departure was also later than the traditional early-morning start used on many offshore charters. Even with that schedule and a five-hour window, the group was able to experience two distinctly different types of game fish.
The result adds useful historical context for anglers researching both the 35-foot Blue Water and shorter Cabo charter options.
Marlin and Dorado Complete a Memorable Cabo Fishing Morning
November 16 ended with a straightforward but strong result for Chris, Kade and Mitchell:
Three anglers. Five hours. One marlin released. Two dorado caught. Three total game fish.
Those numbers tell only part of the story.
The value of the trip came from variety. Instead of encountering only one species, the group experienced the power and excitement of a billfish fight along with the faster-paced action associated with dorado.
For a five-hour morning aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water, that combination created a well-rounded offshore experience.
Historical fishing reports are valuable because they show what actually occurred on individual charter dates. They cannot predict what the next trip will produce, but they provide anglers with real examples of past results across different boats, trip lengths and times of year.
On November 16, 2023, Blue Water’s record was a memorable one: one marlin released and two dorado caught during five hours of Cabo fishing.
