Bev, Tim, Steven, Heather, Doug and Pam spent eight hours aboard the 43-foot Blue Sky Riviera on November 28, 2023, for a full-day fishing charter in Cabo San Lucas.
The charter departed at 6:00 AM and ran until 2:00 PM. Lunch was included, and the crew fished with the dredge as part of the day’s offshore presentation. The final catch was two dorado.
For a group of six, an eight-hour charter provides plenty of time to settle into the day, enjoy the boat and allow the fishing strategy to develop rather than relying on a short window of opportunity.
Two Dorado During a Full Day of Fishing in Cabo
Dorado supplied the fishing action on this November charter.
Few offshore species are as visually distinctive. Dorado can show intense shades of green, yellow and blue, particularly when they first reach the boat. Their appearance is only part of their appeal. They are also fast, aggressive fish capable of explosive strikes and exciting surface fights.
The group’s two dorado represented the complete recorded catch for the day.
A fishing report does not need an oversized catch total to tell a useful story. Offshore fishing involves searching, adapting and putting anglers in position when an opportunity develops. On this trip, those opportunities produced two dorado during eight hours on the water.

Using the Dredge While Fishing Cabo Waters
The dredge was part of the fishing setup for this charter.
Rather than representing a single bait or lure, a dredge creates the visual impression of a concentrated group of baitfish moving beneath the surface. That larger underwater profile can help attract the attention of predatory game fish.
It is an attraction tool rather than a guarantee of success.
The crew still needs to locate productive water, observe activity and continually manage the spread. The value of the dredge is that it adds another layer to the presentation once the boat is actively fishing.
For dorado, which are visual and aggressive predators, creating the appearance of bait activity can complement the other presentations being worked behind the boat.
Eight Hours Creates More Flexibility for Cabo Fishing
Time is one of the most important variables anglers control when selecting a charter.
A five-hour trip can provide an enjoyable introduction to Cabo fishing, but an eight-hour charter gives the crew considerably more flexibility. The boat has more time available to search, adjust to changing activity and remain in productive areas when opportunities develop.
Travel time also needs to be considered.
Every minute spent reaching productive water must eventually be matched by the return toward Cabo San Lucas. A longer charter leaves a larger portion of the day available for actual fishing after those travel requirements are considered.
That becomes particularly important when fish are scattered or the best activity develops later in the morning.
Fishing Cabo as a Group of Six
A six-person charter also creates a different atmosphere from a trip with only one or two anglers.
There is more opportunity to share the experience as a group, watch other anglers fight fish and enjoy the quieter periods between bites. With lunch included, the eight-hour format allows the day to become a complete outing rather than simply a quick run offshore.
Doug joined Bev, Tim, Steven, Heather and Pam as host for the charter.
The 43-foot Blue Sky Riviera provided the group with the space to spend a full day together while the crew continued working for fish.
When a dorado strikes, however, the pace can change instantly.
Lines must be managed, the angler needs room to work and the crew has to remain prepared for the possibility that additional dorado may be nearby.
A November Dorado Fishing Day in Cabo
The final result for November 28 was straightforward: two dorado during an eight-hour charter.
That number alone does not describe the entire experience.
Six people spent a full day aboard the Blue Sky Riviera, leaving at 6:00 AM and returning at 2:00 PM. The dredge was deployed as part of the fishing strategy, lunch was included, and dorado provided the day’s recorded action.
For Bev and the group, the trip combined a full day on the water with two encounters with one of Cabo’s most recognizable offshore game fish.
Some charters produce multiple species and constant activity. Others are defined by a smaller number of opportunities. Both are part of offshore fishing.
On this November day, the opportunities that developed resulted in two dorado and another completed eight-hour fishing charter aboard the 43-foot Blue Sky Riviera.
