Five marlin releases turned a return trip for Bob and Alison into an exceptional morning aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky. Fishing with Captain Luis, the returning guests worked the waters near San Cristóbal during a six-hour outing that began as a five-hour charter and included a complimentary bonus hour. By noon, five marlin had been caught and successfully released.

Cabo Charter Statistics and Fishing Results

Cabo Returning Anglers Find Fishing Action Near San Cristóbal

Bob and Alison weren’t stepping aboard a Blue Sky Cabo boat for the first time. They had already fished with the company earlier in the week and returned for another offshore morning. Repeat anglers bring a different perspective to a charter because they already understand the routine at the marina, how the crew operates and how quickly offshore conditions can change from one fishing day to another. This time they boarded the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky at F Dock.

The original booking was for five hours, but an additional complimentary hour extended the trip through noon. That extra time gave Captain Luis a full six-hour operating window. The destination was the San Cristóbal area.

Cabo Marlin Fishing Builds Into a Five-Fish Morning

• The remarkable part of this charter wasn’t simply finding a marlin.
• It was doing it repeatedly.
• The first successful encounter established that marlin were present in the area. From there, Captain Luis and the crew needed to keep working rather than assume the opportunity would automatically repeat itself.
• A dredge was incorporated into the fishing program, creating additional subsurface movement behind Blue Sky. The crew continued managing the spread while watching for signs that another fish was investigating the presentation.
• One release became two.
• Two became three.
• By the end of the morning, Bob and Alison had participated in five marlin catches, with every fish returned to the water.
• For two anglers on a six-hour charter, that meant a morning with repeated opportunities rather than a single brief burst of activity.

Cabo Fishing Conditions Feature Very Warm September Water

• September 16 was characterized by exceptionally warm water around Cabo San Lucas.
• Recorded sea-surface temperature was approximately 88.5°F. Historical weather observations indicate air temperature around 79°F during the early morning period, rising toward approximately 90°F around noon.
• The moon was a waxing crescent at approximately 32.6% illumination.
• Those numbers provide context, but Captain Luis still had to interpret what was happening near San Cristóbal during the actual charter.
• Marlin don’t remain stationary because a particular location produced fish yesterday. Bait moves. Currents shift. Water changes. Productive zones can expand, disappear or relocate.
• That makes observation and adjustment essential.

Cabo Fishing Data Shows an Exceptional Release Result

Rather than using a bar graph, the numbers from this charter can be viewed as a simple performance snapshot:

The statistic that matters most is straightforward: five marlin encountered and five marlin released.

Cabo Marlin Releases Keep Fishing Conservation Central

• Every marlin caught aboard Blue Sky that morning went back into the Pacific.
• Blue Sky Cabo operates with a standing marlin-release policy. Guests can experience the strike, the fight and the excitement surrounding a billfish encounter while the fish itself is returned to the water.
• On a day producing five marlin, that policy becomes particularly meaningful.
• It also changes the measure of success. The goal isn’t to return to F Dock carrying marlin. The goal is to find them, successfully connect anglers with them, document the experience and complete healthy releases.
• Bob and Alison accomplished that five times.

Cabo Fishing Rewards a Second Trip During the Same Vacation

• Perhaps the most interesting part of September 16 is that this was a repeat charter during the same visit.
• Bob and Alison chose to go again, and the second outing developed into a five-marlin morning near San Cristóbal.
• Their scheduled five-hour charter became six hours with the complimentary hour. Transportation and the dredge were included, and Captain Luis used the available fishing window to continue working an area producing billfish activity.
• At noon, Blue Sky headed back toward Cabo San Lucas Marina.
• The final tally needed very little embellishment:

Two returning anglers. Six hours. Five marlin. Five releases

For Bob and Alison, going fishing again during the same Cabo trip produced a completely new day on the Pacific.
