Tiffany, Alyssa, Josephine, Avery, Harper, Elizabeth, and Hunter, the family group from Phoenix, Arizona, enjoyed a successful five-hour fishing charter aboard the 50-foot Viking Blue Ocean with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters on October 13, 2026. Captain YoYo welcomed three adults and four children for a morning of Cabo San Lucas sportfishing that produced two dorado approximately half a mile offshore in front of the Lighthouse.
The family had previous fishing experience in Cabo and wanted another enjoyable day on the water, with special consideration given to comfortable ocean conditions for the younger passengers. Their morning delivered two dorado using different fishing techniques, beginning with a trolling strike and followed by a successful live-bait presentation.

Cabo Fishing Catch – Two Dorado Near the Lighthouse
- One of the most interesting aspects of this charter was how close the fishing action occurred to Cabo San Lucas.
- The Lighthouse area, situated along the Pacific coastline near Cabo Falso, offers opportunities to target dorado without necessarily making a lengthy offshore run.
- At approximately 10:15 AM, the family’s first dorado struck a Blue Hoochie trolling lure. The sudden bite brought immediate excitement aboard Blue Ocean as the crew helped guide the fish toward the boat.
- After successfully landing the first dorado, the fishing approach changed.
- Rather than continuing exclusively with trolling presentations, the crew cast a live Caballito into the surrounding water. That decision produced another dorado, giving the family two fish during their morning charter.
- The combination of artificial trolling lures and live bait demonstrated how different fishing methods can produce results in the same general area.

Cabo Fishing Charter – Family Comfort and Ocean Conditions
- Before departure, Tiffany requested consideration of the Sea of Cortez because the family preferred less choppy water.
- The captain’s responsibility was to evaluate conditions while selecting fishing grounds offering reasonable opportunities for success. Although the Sea of Cortez can sometimes provide more protected fishing areas, actual comfort depends on the day’s wind, swell, and sea conditions.
- For this particular outing, the productive fishing area was approximately half a mile in front of the Lighthouse.
- Blue Ocean’s 50-foot Viking design provided a spacious setting for the seven passengers, including the four younger anglers.
- The family also discussed the possibility of swimming toward the end of the charter. However, the confirmed fishing record does not establish whether swimming took place.
Cabo Fishing Catch – Trolling and Live Bait Techniques
The two dorado were caught using separate presentations, making this an especially useful example of adaptable Cabo fishing. The first fish responded to a Blue Hoochie trolling lure, an artificial presentation designed to attract predatory game fish moving through the water. The second dorado took a live Caballito after the first fish had been landed.
This sequence highlights several practical advantages of fishing with an experienced Cabo San Lucas crew:
- Switching techniques when fishing conditions change.
- Using live bait when dorado are located nearby.
- Working productive water close to the coastline.
- Maintaining fishing opportunities for families with children.
The charter also included a request for the tournament dredge, a Fish Attraction Device used to create additional underwater attraction while trolling.
Cabo Fishing Report – Family Dorado Catch Summary
For Tiffany, Alyssa, Josephine, Avery, Harper, Elizabeth, and Hunter, the October 13 outing offered another opportunity to experience Cabo San Lucas fishing together. Two dorado were successfully caught during the five-hour morning charter, with both fish coming from waters approximately half a mile offshore near the Lighthouse.
The outing demonstrated that productive fishing does not always require traveling far offshore. Sometimes the best opportunity is found close to Cabo’s familiar coastline, where an experienced captain can combine local knowledge with effective trolling and live-bait techniques.
