September 19, 2023 produced a balanced Cabo fishing charter for returning anglers Krista, Pete, Kyle and Crystal, who spent six hours aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky and finished with 1 marlin released and 3 dorado landed.
The group departed F Dock at 6:00 AM and fished until noon, giving the crew six hours to search the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. Four quality game fish across two of Cabo’s signature offshore species made this a productive return trip.
Cabo Marlin Fishing Produces a Successful Release
The headline billfish encounter was one marlin caught and released.
Marlin remain the species most closely associated with Cabo San Lucas fishing, and a successful hookup requires coordinated work between the captain, crew and angler. Once the fish enters the spread and commits, the fishing can change from quiet searching to an intense battle within seconds.
The group successfully fought the marlin before the crew completed the release.
That single fish gave the charter a major billfish result while the three dorado added consistent game-fish action to the morning.
Three Dorado Add Quality Cabo Fishing Action
The 3 dorado provided the second half of an excellent two-species catch.
Dorado are among the most popular warm-water game fish found around Cabo because they combine aggressive strikes, fast runs and frequent aerial displays. Their brilliant coloration also makes them one of the most recognizable offshore species encountered during a Cabo fishing charter.
Landing three dorado alongside a marlin gave Krista, Pete, Kyle and Crystal a strong mixture of action and quality.
The final catch was concise:
- 1 marlin caught and released
- 3 dorado landed
- 4 total game fish
- 2 major offshore species
- 6 hours of Cabo fishing
- 4 returning anglers
Repeat Cabo Fishing Clients Return to Blue Sky
An important part of this September 19 report is that these were repeat fishing clients.
Returning anglers already understand that offshore fishing changes from trip to trip. The same boat, fishing equipment and general strategy can encounter completely different conditions depending on currents, bait movement, water temperature and the location of pelagic game fish.
Krista, Pete, Kyle and Crystal returned to fish aboard the 43′ Riviera Blue Sky and again elected to incorporate a fish attraction device into the fishing program.
This time, the six-hour charter produced four quality game fish.
Fish Attraction Device Added to the Cabo Fishing Spread
The group specifically chose to use the fish attraction device again despite noting that it had not produced the result they hoped for during their previous trip.
That decision proved worthwhile as part of the overall fishing program.
Fish-attraction equipment is designed to add underwater visual presence to the trolling presentation, helping create the appearance of concentrated bait activity behind the boat. It works as one component of a much larger fishing system that also includes captain positioning, lure selection, bait, trolling speed, crew execution and the ability to locate productive water.
No single piece of equipment guarantees a catch, but on September 19 the overall program produced one marlin and three dorado.
Six-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter Produces Four Game Fish
A six-hour charter provides a useful balance between a shorter tourist-oriented fishing trip and a full eight- or ten-hour offshore day.
Blue Sky departed at 6:00 AM, placing the anglers on the water around first light and giving the crew the entire morning to search for activity.
By the noon return, the group had experienced four quality hookups across two very different species.
The marlin delivered the billfish encounter. The dorado supplied multiple additional game-fish battles.
For a six-hour Cabo San Lucas fishing charter, that created a strong overall result.
September 19 Cabo Fishing Weather Conditions
Warm September conditions continued across Los Cabos, with early morning air temperatures approximately 80–82°F and readings climbing toward 89–91°F around noon.
Conditions were mostly clear to partly cloudy, while winds were lighter during the early fishing period before increasing toward midday. Humidity remained approximately 70–75%, barometric pressure was around 1011–1013 mb and visibility was approximately six miles.
Sunrise occurred at approximately 6:08 AM, almost exactly matching Blue Sky’s departure from F Dock.
This allowed the group to begin its Cabo fishing day during the first-light period and continue through the warming late morning.
Blue Sky Delivers Marlin and Dorado Combination
The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky provided Krista, Pete, Kyle and Crystal with the platform for a productive return charter.
Rather than a high-volume catch of smaller species, this trip generated four quality offshore game fish. The combination of marlin and dorado also gave the anglers two distinctly different Cabo fishing experiences during one six-hour trip.
One fish represented Cabo’s world-famous billfish fishery. Three more represented one of the region’s most exciting warm-water pelagic species.
Final Cabo Fishing Report Summary
September 19 produced exactly the type of mixed-species result that makes Cabo San Lucas sport fishing appealing to returning anglers.
Krista, Pete, Kyle and Crystal departed F Dock at 6:00 AM, spent six hours aboard Blue Sky and returned at noon with four quality game-fish encounters.
1 Marlin Released + 3 Dorado Landed = 4 Game Fish During a 6-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter.
