A seven-hour charter aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star produced an outstanding multi-species day for returning Blue Sky Cabo guest Dave, with three marlin and two dorado accounting for five quality game fish.
Dave’s November return to Cabo provided enough fishing time to work beyond a short introductory trip while still keeping the day focused. The result was exactly the kind of mixed offshore action that makes November such an interesting time to fish the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
Three Marlin Made This Cabo Day of Fishing Memorable
Catching one marlin can define an entire charter.
Finding three during the same seven-hour trip changes the character of the day completely.
Marlin fishing requires much more than simply waiting for a rod to bend. The crew watches the spread, water conditions and surrounding activity while keeping the presentation working properly behind the boat. A marlin may strike aggressively, follow without committing or appear suddenly where nobody was looking seconds earlier.
Once a fish is hooked, the priorities change quickly.
Keeping pressure on the fish becomes critical. The captain manages the boat while the angler and mate work together to maintain a productive line angle. A jumping marlin can change direction quickly, and slack line can turn a solid hookup into a lost opportunity.
For a repeat guest such as Dave, three marlin provided several chances to experience that process throughout the charter rather than having the day depend on one encounter.
Healthy marlin are strongly encouraged for release by Blue Sky Cabo. The objective is to enjoy the fight, document the experience when practical and return the fish to the Pacific in good condition.
Dorado Added Variety to Fishing Around Cabo
The two dorado added another dimension to the trip.
Dorado are among the most recognizable offshore fish found around Cabo. Their speed, aggressive strikes and brilliant coloration make them exciting whether an angler has caught dozens or is seeing one beside the boat for the first time.
They are also a highly regarded food fish.
Unlike healthy marlin, which Blue Sky Cabo strongly encourages anglers to release, legal and appropriately sized dorado are commonly retained for the table within applicable Mexican sportfishing limits.
Having both species appear during the same charter created a useful contrast: marlin provided the classic Cabo billfish experience, while dorado brought fast action and another style of offshore fishing.
Seven Hours Provided More Fishing Time From Cabo
Charter length matters because time spent traveling is part of the overall trip.
A seven-hour charter gives the captain more flexibility than a short outing. There is additional time to evaluate conditions, work productive water and make adjustments if the first plan does not produce.
That does not mean a longer charter guarantees more fish.
Fishing never works that way.
What additional time provides is opportunity.
On this trip, that opportunity developed into five game fish across two of Cabo’s best-known offshore species.

Repeat Guests Bring Experience Back to Cabo Fishing
A returning customer approaches a fishing charter differently from someone experiencing Cabo for the first time.
They already understand that offshore fishing develops throughout the day.
There can be stretches of searching followed by a few minutes of intense activity. A quiet spread can suddenly become a marlin encounter. One dorado can turn into another opportunity almost immediately.
That rhythm is part of sportfishing.
Dave returned to Blue Sky Cabo knowing the day would unfold according to the conditions and the fish rather than a predetermined script.
Three marlin and two dorado made the return worthwhile.
Why Mixed-Species Fishing Can Change Quickly in Cabo
Cabo sits beside remarkably diverse Pacific waters.
Captains may encounter different species in the same general offshore environment, and the best target can change according to water temperature, bait concentrations, currents and other conditions.
That is why flexibility matters.
An angler can begin the morning hoping for marlin and still take advantage of quality dorado action when it develops.
Likewise, finding dorado does not mean the marlin program stops.
Experienced crews continually evaluate what is happening around the boat.
On Dave’s charter, the final result demonstrated the value of allowing the fishing day to develop naturally rather than forcing the entire trip around one species.
Five Game Fish Completed a Strong Cabo Day of Fishing
Three marlin and two dorado during a seven-hour charter is the kind of result that stands out even for a returning guest.
The numbers tell part of the story, but not all of it.
Each marlin requires its own fight. Each dorado brings another strike and another opportunity. Between those moments are the hours spent searching, watching the spread and positioning the boat to create the next chance.
For Dave, November 19 delivered repeated opportunities throughout the day.
It also demonstrated why repeat customers continue returning to Cabo.
No two trips are identical.
Different water, different fish and different conditions create a new offshore experience every time.
On this November charter, the Pacific delivered five game fish and another productive day aboard Blue Star.
