September 19, 2023 delivered a strong mixed-species Cabo fishing charter for Morgan and Rayburn from East Texas aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar. Their eight-hour trip produced 8 tuna, 2 sharks and 1 dorado, giving the two anglers 11 total fish across three offshore species.
The tuna dominated the catch, accounting for eight of the 11 fish. Two sharks added a completely different style of fight before both were successfully released, while one dorado completed a productive September day on the Pacific.
Cabo Tuna Fishing Produces Eight Fish on Blue Water
The primary target and dominant catch was tuna, with Morgan and Rayburn landing eight during their full-day charter.
Tuna fishing around Cabo San Lucas can change rapidly once feeding fish are located. Crews search for birds, bait concentrations, surface disturbances and other signs that indicate pelagic activity. When tuna are actively feeding, multiple hookups can turn an offshore search into sustained action.
Captain Oscar converted those opportunities into eight tuna.
For two anglers, that represented a substantial amount of fighting time during an eight-hour charter and established tuna as the clear headline species in this September 19 Cabo fishing report.
Two Sharks Caught and Released During Cabo Fishing Charter
The day’s two sharks created a very different challenge from the tuna.
Sharks can deliver powerful, sustained fights that require patience from the angler and careful boat handling from the captain. Both sharks were brought under control before being released, adding two major encounters without adding fish to the kept catch.
The releases also gave the charter a distinctive three-species result.
By this stage of the trip, Morgan and Rayburn had experienced both the speed of tuna and the heavier pulling power associated with sharks.
Dorado Completes an 11-Fish Cabo Catch
One dorado added another important offshore game fish to the September 19 result.
Dorado are one of Cabo’s most recognizable warm-water species because of their vivid coloration, aggressive feeding behavior, fast runs and tendency to jump during the fight.
Although only one dorado was landed, it increased the species count to three and completed a diverse offshore catch:
- 8 tuna
- 2 sharks released
- 1 dorado
- 11 total fish
- 3 species
- 8 hours of fishing
For Morgan and Rayburn, the day provided both numbers and variety.
Eight-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter Provides More Opportunity
Blue Water departed at 6:00 AM and returned at 2:00 PM, giving Captain Oscar eight hours to work the offshore fishery.
That additional time is particularly useful on mixed-species trips because the captain can adjust as fishing conditions develop. A tuna bite may emerge in one area, while dorado can be associated with another concentration of bait or offshore structure. Sharks can introduce an entirely different opportunity.
An eight-hour Cabo fishing charter provides considerably more flexibility to search, change techniques and remain with productive activity than a shorter half-day trip.
On September 19, that flexibility contributed to 11 total catches.
September 19 Cabo Fishing Weather Conditions
Warm September conditions continued around Cabo San Lucas, with early morning temperatures approximately 80–82°F and afternoon readings approaching 90–92°F.
Conditions were mostly clear to partly cloudy, with lighter winds early in the fishing day before increasing later. Humidity remained approximately 70–75%, while barometric pressure was around 1011–1013 mb and visibility was approximately six miles.
Sunrise occurred at approximately 6:08 AM, placing Blue Water’s 6:00 AM departure immediately before first light and allowing Morgan and Rayburn to take advantage of the early fishing period.
Blue Water and Captain Oscar Deliver Mixed-Species Action
The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water and Captain Oscar produced a day that was not dependent on a single fish.
Eight tuna provided the volume and repeated game-fish action. Two sharks delivered heavier battles and were successfully released. The dorado added another classic Cabo sport fishing species to the final count.
This variety is one reason September can produce interesting fishing around Cabo. Warm offshore waters support multiple pelagic species, and the catch can change considerably as the boat moves through different areas and encounters new concentrations of marine life.
Cabo Fishing Report Finishes With 11 Total Fish
By the time Blue Water returned to the Cabo Marina at 2:00 PM, Morgan and Rayburn had completed a productive eight-hour fishing day.
The final count reached 11 fish across three species, highlighted by an excellent eight-tuna result.
For anglers researching Cabo tuna fishing, this charter demonstrates how a full fishing day can produce both a strong target-species catch and unexpected variety along the way.
Morgan and Rayburn didn’t just catch tuna. They experienced three distinctly different offshore encounters during one Cabo San Lucas fishing charter.
Final Result: 8 Tuna + 2 Sharks Released + 1 Dorado = 11 Fish During 8 Hours of Cabo Fishing.
