Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Three Species in Five Hours
The variety of fish encountered made this January morning particularly interesting for Team Hinton.
Marlin are among the most recognizable offshore game fish in Cabo San Lucas. Known for their strength, speed and challenging fights, they remain a major attraction for anglers visiting the southern Baja California peninsula.
The group’s marlin was released following the encounter, consistent with Blue Sky Cabo’s billfish conservation practices.
The second species was dorado, also known as mahi-mahi. Dorado are recognized for their vivid colors and energetic surface action, making them a popular target for visiting anglers.
The third fish was a bonito, a fast-moving schooling species frequently encountered in offshore waters. The bonito was also released.
Captain Luis and the Blue Sky crew completed the charter with three fish caught across three species.
The individual fish weights and exact offshore fishing grounds were not documented.

Cabo Fishing Charter – VIP Experience for Team Hinton
Francis organized the outing for four guests traveling together from Hinton, Alberta.
The group included Jason, Deena and Lisa, bringing together friends and family for a private morning of offshore fishing.
Their reservation was identified as a VIP charter, with the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky selected for the five-hour experience.
Several details distinguished their January 30 trip:
- One marlin caught and released
- One dorado caught
- One bonito caught and released
- Four guests from Hinton, Alberta, aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky
- Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device included
The private charter allowed Team Hinton to enjoy the vessel and fishing crew without unrelated passengers aboard.
Cabo Fishing Charter – Tournament Dredge Equipment
The reservation included the Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device, specialized offshore trolling equipment designed to imitate a moving school of baitfish.
A dredge creates a visual presentation beneath the ocean’s surface that can attract the attention of predatory species.
Marlin and dorado are among the offshore fish that may investigate concentrated baitfish activity.
For Team Hinton, the dredge was included as part of the VIP charter package.
The reservation confirms the equipment was provided but does not establish which individual catches responded to the dredge presentation.
