September 17, 2023 delivered a high-action second day of Cabo fishing for Bob and Todd aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar. Their seven-hour charter produced 25 total fish, led by one tuna and two dorado, while an additional 22 skipjack kept the anglers busy throughout the trip.
The charter departed at 6:00 AM and continued until 1:00 PM, giving Captain Oscar seven hours to locate active offshore fish. For Bob and Todd, who were returning for their second consecutive fishing day, the result provided both quality game fish and substantial numbers.
Tuna and Dorado Lead a 25-Fish Cabo Catch
The most important catches of the day were the 1 tuna and 2 dorado, giving the anglers three quality offshore game fish.
The 22 skipjack added a completely different element to the charter. Skipjack are aggressive, fast and capable of producing repeated hookups when schools become active around the boat. Finding them in numbers can transform a slower trolling period into continuous rod-bending action.
The September 17 totals were impressive:
- 1 tuna
- 2 dorado
- 22 skipjack
- 25 total fish
- 7 hours of fishing
- 2 anglers
- Second consecutive fishing day
For Bob and Todd, the combination of tuna, dorado and skipjack created a diverse day rather than a charter dependent on a single bite.
Second Day Fishing Cabo With Captain Oscar
Fishing Cabo on consecutive days provides an advantage that is sometimes overlooked. Conditions can change significantly from one morning to another as bait moves, currents shift and offshore species follow productive water.
Bob and Todd returned to the water on September 17 for their second day, this time aboard Blue Water with Captain Oscar.
A second fishing day also allows anglers to experience a different catch pattern. One day may be dominated by marlin, another by dorado, and another by schools of tuna or skipjack. September is especially capable of producing these mixed pelagic catches around Cabo San Lucas.
On this trip, Captain Oscar found enough activity to generate 25 fish during seven hours.
Cabo Tuna Fishing Adds Quality to the Numbers
While the 22 skipjack created much of the numerical action, the tuna added an important game-fish component to the report.
Tuna are prized for their strength and speed, and even a single tuna can provide a demanding fight. Locating tuna frequently requires searching for signs such as working birds, bait concentrations, porpoise activity or surface disturbances.
The tuna joined two dorado to give Bob and Todd three primary game fish for the day.
That combination made this more than simply a high-volume skipjack trip.
Two Dorado Add More Cabo Offshore Action
The 2 dorado further diversified the catch. September is an important warm-water period for dorado fishing around Cabo, and these fish can appear around current lines, floating debris, concentrated bait or other offshore structure.
Dorado are particularly popular because they combine aggressive strikes with fast runs and frequent aerial action.
Landing two dorado alongside the tuna meant Bob and Todd encountered multiple offshore species during the same seven-hour charter.
September 17 Cabo Fishing Conditions
The September morning started warm, with temperatures approximately 82–84°F around departure and conditions becoming hotter as the charter progressed toward midday.
Air temperatures approached approximately 90–92°F later in the trip. Conditions were generally mostly clear to partly cloudy, with lighter wind early and increasing wind toward midday.
These warm September conditions are characteristic of Cabo’s late-summer offshore fishing season, when pelagic species including tuna, dorado, marlin and other game fish can all be present.
For Captain Oscar, the objective was not simply to troll one area throughout the entire charter but to stay with productive activity as conditions and fish movement changed.
Blue Water Produces Consistent Fishing Action
The 35-foot Riviera Blue Water gave Bob and Todd a capable sport-fishing platform for their seven-hour trip. With Captain Oscar running the charter, the morning developed into a numbers-driven fishing day with enough variety to keep the catch interesting.
The standout statistic was 25 total fish in seven hours.
However, the more meaningful result was the combination: tuna for power, dorado for quality offshore game fishing and skipjack for repeated action.
Another Productive Cabo Fishing Day
September 17 demonstrated exactly why anglers sometimes reserve multiple days of Cabo San Lucas fishing during the same vacation. Offshore fishing changes constantly, and an additional day provides another opportunity to encounter different species and different conditions.
For Bob and Todd, their second day produced plenty of action.
They left the marina at 6:00 AM aboard Blue Water with Captain Oscar and returned at 1:00 PM after landing 1 tuna, 2 dorado and 22 skipjack.
That is 25 fish during seven hours of Cabo fishing and another productive day on the Pacific.
Final Result: 1 Tuna + 2 Dorado + 22 Skipjack = 25 Total Fish.
