Oliver, Andrew and Hugh headed offshore aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water for a five-hour private charter on November 20, 2023. Their morning produced one dorado and one skipjack, giving the three anglers two different species during a relatively compact fishing window and continuing the dorado activity recorded by Blue Sky Cabo boats during the preceding day.

Key points from the charter:
- Five hours created a focused morning fishing window.
- Dorado provided the primary game-fish result.
- One skipjack added a second species to the catch.
- Recent Blue Sky Cabo reports also showed dorado activity.
Dorado Continued to Appear During Fishing Around Cabo
The dorado was particularly interesting when viewed alongside the immediately preceding Blue Sky Cabo reports.
On November 19, a seven-hour Blue Star charter produced three marlin and two dorado. A separate six-hour charter aboard Blue Water that same day produced one marlin and two dorado.
Earlier on November 20, another Blue Star charter recorded one dorado.
Oliver, Andrew and Hugh then added another dorado aboard Blue Water.
These individual reports do not establish that dorado will be available on any future charter, but together they provide a useful historical snapshot of what Blue Sky Cabo boats were encountering during this particular period.
That is one of the benefits of maintaining detailed fishing reports over time.
Rather than describing Cabo fishing in broad seasonal terms alone, actual charter records show what individual boats encountered on specific dates.
Skipjack Added Another Species to This Cabo Day of Fishing
The skipjack added variety to the morning.
Skipjack are strong, fast-moving fish that can provide surprisingly energetic fights for their size. They can also be an important part of the offshore food chain and are sometimes used as live bait when circumstances make that appropriate.
Blue Sky Cabo generally releases skipjack and bonito when they are not being used as bait.
For an angler, however, the strike and fight still count as part of the day’s experience.
A mixed catch also shows why offshore crews remain attentive even when a particular target species is preferred. Different predators can occupy the same productive water, and the next strike does not necessarily come from the species an angler expects.
Five Hours Required an Efficient Cabo Fishing Strategy
A five-hour charter differs significantly from an eight- or ten-hour trip.
The shorter duration means travel time becomes an even larger consideration.
If productive water is relatively close to Cabo San Lucas, five hours can still provide meaningful fishing time. If the desired species is much farther offshore, the same trip length naturally limits how much time can be spent actively fishing before the boat needs to return.
This is why Blue Sky Cabo generally views a five-hour trip as an excellent option for visitors who want a shorter offshore experience, while longer charters provide more flexibility for anglers focused heavily on fishing.
Oliver, Andrew and Hugh still produced two species during their five-hour window.
Recent Reports Put This Cabo Fishing Result Into Context
Looking at nearby charter records helps illustrate how much can change from boat to boat.
| Date | Boat | Charter | Recorded Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nov. 19 | Blue Star | 7 Hours | 3 Marlin, 2 Dorado |
| Nov. 19 | Blue Water | 6 Hours | 1 Marlin, 2 Dorado |
| Nov. 20 | Blue Star | 8 Hours | 1 Dorado |
| Nov. 20 | Blue Water | 5 Hours | 1 Dorado, 1 Skipjack |
This is not a prediction chart.
It is simply a record of four Blue Sky Cabo charters around the same period.
The comparison demonstrates why one day’s catch should never be used as a guarantee for the next day’s fishing.
Different charter lengths, guest preferences, fishing areas and changing offshore conditions all influence the final result.
A Shorter Charter Still Produced Variety While Fishing in Cabo
Five hours does not provide the same geographic range or search time as a full eight- or ten-hour charter, but not every group needs a long-range fishing day.
Some visitors want to experience Cabo sportfishing while leaving part of the day available for other activities. Others are fishing offshore for the first time and prefer a shorter introduction.
The important consideration is matching expectations to the available time.
A five-hour charter may produce outstanding action when fish are close. On another day, additional travel or search time might make a longer charter advantageous.
Fishing remains fishing.
More hours create more opportunity, not guaranteed results.
Two Species Completed the Morning of Fishing in Cabo
Oliver, Andrew and Hugh returned from their November 20 charter with a straightforward catch record: one dorado and one skipjack.
The dorado continued a run of dorado appearing in recent Blue Sky Cabo charter records, while the skipjack gave the group a second species during their five-hour trip.
That historical context is useful because it shows the progression of actual fishing rather than presenting one isolated result.
November 19 had produced several marlin along with dorado. November 20 continued to produce dorado on multiple boats, although with different overall catch totals.
For Oliver, Andrew and Hugh, the morning aboard Blue Water delivered two fish, two species and another documented chapter in Blue Sky Cabo’s daily fishing record.
