January 22, 2024 – One Marlin and One Dorado – Cabo Fishing Report
A successful morning of offshore sportfishing delivered two popular game fish for Don and his guest, the group from Austin, Texas, staying in Cabo San Lucas, aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Chewy and Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters.
Departing F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM on Monday, January 22, 2024, the two anglers enjoyed a private six-hour fishing charter that produced one marlin caught and released and one dorado caught before their scheduled noon return.
The combination of a powerful billfish encounter and the energetic fight of a dorado gave the anglers two distinctly different offshore fishing experiences.
With only two passengers aboard, Blue Star provided a private setting for the morning’s fishing activities.

Cabo Fishing Weather – January 22, 2024
January is part of Cabo San Lucas’s winter fishing season, when cooler morning temperatures gradually give way to warmer conditions during the afternoon.
The waters surrounding Cabo include both Pacific fishing grounds and areas influenced by the Sea of Cortez, where conditions can vary throughout the day.
Specific historical offshore weather measurements for January 22, 2024, including wind speed, swell height, cloud cover, and sea-surface temperature, were not independently verified for this report.
The 6:00 AM departure allowed Don and his guest to begin their charter during the early morning fishing period.
Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Marlin Provides the Morning Highlight
Marlin fishing remains one of the defining attractions of Cabo San Lucas.
These powerful offshore predators are known for their strength, impressive runs, and ability to challenge anglers throughout the fight.
For Don and his guest, the January 22 charter produced a successful marlin catch during their six-hour morning aboard Blue Star.
The marlin was released in accordance with Blue Sky Cabo’s conservation practices, supporting responsible billfish handling around Baja California Sur.
Catching a marlin during a six-hour private charter is a noteworthy result, particularly when the same outing also produces another desirable game fish species.
Captain Chewy and the Blue Star crew completed the successful catch and release within the scheduled fishing period.
Cabo Fishing Charter – Dorado Adds Offshore Variety
The second catch was a dorado, commonly known as mahi mahi.
Dorado are among the most recognizable game fish in Cabo waters, displaying brilliant gold, green, and blue coloration.
Their aggressive strikes and energetic fighting style make them particularly popular among visiting anglers.
For Don and his guest, the dorado provided another memorable fishing encounter and added variety to the morning’s catch.
Dorado are also valued for their excellent table quality, making them a desirable species for anglers interested in fresh seafood during their Cabo vacation.
The combination of one marlin and one dorado demonstrated the diversity of fishing opportunities available around Cabo San Lucas in January.

Cabo Sportfishing Charter – Captain Chewy and Blue Star
The 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star is part of the Blue Sky Cabo fleet of private sportfishing vessels operating from IGY Marina.
With two passengers aboard, Don and his guest enjoyed exclusive use of the fishing vessel throughout their six-hour charter.
Captain Chewy and the crew managed the fishing operation, equipment, and offshore opportunities during the morning.
Complimentary relief bands were included with the booking, providing an additional comfort amenity for the guests.
Successful offshore fishing depends on several factors, including bait availability, fish movement, water conditions, and the crew’s ability to respond to changing opportunities.
The January 22 charter demonstrated how a smaller private fishing boat can deliver encounters with multiple game fish species during a morning offshore.
