November 15, 2023 produced an exceptional billfish result for Doug and one fishing companion aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star. During an eight-hour private charter, the two anglers caught and released an impressive 10 marlin.
The trip ran from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM, providing a full offshore fishing day. Doug also added a dredge to the program, while lunch was included for both guests.
Ten marlin encounters during a single charter created the kind of sustained billfish action that stands apart even among productive Cabo fishing reports. Most importantly, every marlin was released.

Ten Marlin Create Exceptional Fishing Action in Cabo
A single marlin can become the defining moment of an offshore charter. Ten separate marlin catches create an entirely different experience.
For Doug and his companion, the day required repeated transitions between searching, hooking fish, fighting them, completing releases and putting the fishing presentation back together.
With only two anglers aboard, there was little downtime once the action developed. Each new opportunity placed one of them back into the fight while the crew managed the cockpit and prepared for what might happen next.
The result is especially notable because the recorded catch consisted entirely of marlin. Rather than a mixed-species day producing a large overall total, November 15 became a concentrated billfish experience.
By the end of eight hours, Doug’s group had reached double digits.
Dredge Fishing Supports the Cabo Billfish Program
A dredge was added to the Blue Star fishing setup for this charter.
The purpose of a dredge is to create the visual impression of a concentrated group of baitfish moving beneath and behind the boat. It provides another layer of underwater movement within the overall trolling presentation and can help attract the attention of approaching predators.
Marlin may investigate that activity before moving closer to other offerings in the spread. This makes watching what happens behind the boat an important part of the fishing process.
A dredge itself cannot guarantee a catch. Finding productive water and putting the boat around active fish remain essential.
On November 15, the complete fishing program resulted in an extraordinary number of billfish opportunities.
Catch-and-Release Fishing Returns 10 Cabo Marlin
Blue Sky Cabo practices catch and release for marlin, and all 10 billfish caught during this charter were returned to the ocean.
| Marlin Fishing Result | Total |
|---|---|
| Marlin Caught | 10 |
| Marlin Released | 10 |
| Marlin Retained | 0 |
That 100% release result is an important part of the historical record.
The anglers were able to experience repeated marlin fights without bringing billfish back to the dock. Each completed release allowed the crew to reset and continue fishing for another opportunity.
Ten catches and ten releases also demonstrate why actual daily fishing reports can be valuable when evaluating Cabo’s offshore fishery. Individual days vary dramatically, but documented charter results create a historical picture of what occurred aboard a particular boat on a particular date.
Two Anglers Experience Eight Hours of Cabo Fishing
The numbers become even more interesting when viewed alongside the group size.
Only two anglers were aboard Blue Star for the charter.
An eight-hour trip gave Doug and his companion considerably more fishing time than a short excursion, but catching 10 marlin still represents a remarkable amount of billfish activity within one day.
The 6:00 AM departure provided the entire morning and early afternoon for the crew to work. Lunch for both guests was included, allowing the charter to continue through the day while the fishing program remained the primary focus.
For two anglers, repeated encounters can also make a trip physically demanding. Marlin are powerful game fish, and fighting multiple billfish over the course of eight hours creates a very different experience from waiting all day for one opportunity.
Ten Releases Define an Outstanding Cabo Fishing Day
Doug’s November 15 charter can be summarized with a handful of numbers: two anglers, eight hours, one 32-foot Luhrs and 10 marlin released.
Those numbers make this report particularly valuable as part of Blue Sky Cabo’s historical fishing record.
There is no need to add unverified weather, water temperatures or locations to make the day sound more impressive. The documented catch stands on its own.
Doug and his fishing companion boarded Blue Star for an eight-hour private charter and returned after experiencing 10 separate marlin catches.
Every fish was released.
For two anglers sharing one day offshore, that made November 15, 2023 an exceptional example of the billfish action that can develop during fishing in Cabo San Lucas.
