Returning customer Vielka came back to Blue Sky Cabo with Jason, Chris, Miguel and Victor for another morning on the Pacific. The five anglers, with Vielka from the San Francisco, California area, boarded the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water on December 13, 2023. Their five-hour private charter with Captain Oscar produced two different offshore gamefish: one marlin successfully released and one dorado.

Cabo Returning Guests Know the Fishing Experience
Repeat customers bring a different perspective to a charter.
They’ve already experienced the boats, crews and fishing environment and have made the decision to return.
For Vielka and her group, December 13 meant another morning aboard Blue Sky Cabo’s fleet, this time on the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar.
The charter started at 7:00 AM, slightly later than the traditional 6:00 AM morning departure.
With five hours available, efficient use of time mattered from the beginning.
Cabo Five-Hour Fishing Focuses on Productive Water
Five-hour charters are well suited to visitors who want a substantial morning on the water without committing an entire day.
The tradeoff is range.
Every minute spent traveling farther from Cabo San Lucas eventually requires return travel.
If productive water is 30 to 45 minutes from the marina, approximately the same travel time has to be considered for the journey home.
That makes the captain’s decisions particularly important.
The objective isn’t simply to run farther.
It’s to find productive water while preserving enough time to fish it effectively.
Captain Oscar’s morning produced opportunities with two different species.
Cabo Marlin Fishing Delivers a Successful Release
One marlin became the largest gamefish encounter of the morning.
Marlin fishing can shift quickly from searching to intense action.
Once a fish appears behind the boat, the crew has to manage the spread while the captain controls boat position and the angler focuses on maintaining pressure.
A marlin may respond with:
- Powerful runs
- Sudden changes in direction
- Surface jumps
- Extended fights
- Close-range action near the boat
The group’s marlin was successfully brought alongside.
It was then released back into the Pacific.
Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours releases marlin whenever a healthy release is possible.
Cabo Dorado Fishing Adds Color and Speed
One dorado gave the group a second species.
Dorado are among the most visually distinctive fish encountered around Cabo San Lucas.
Their brilliant coloration can change dramatically during a fight, while their combination of speed and repeated jumps creates a very different experience from battling a marlin.
Dorado frequently move with bait and can be found around current edges, floating debris, weed lines and other areas concentrating marine life.
The dorado gave Vielka’s group another offshore opportunity during a relatively compact five-hour charter.
Cabo Fishing Variety Can Matter More Than Numbers
Two gamefish may look like a simple result on paper.
The experience was considerably more varied.
The five anglers encountered both a billfish and dorado during the same morning.
Each species required a different fight and created a different memory.
This is one reason catch totals alone never tell the complete story of a Cabo charter.
Species, size, fight duration, conditions and successful releases all contribute to the experience.
For returning customers, those differences can make each trip distinct even when fishing the same destination again.
Cabo Fishing Rewards Returning Customers With a New Day
Repeat business doesn’t mean repeat conditions.
Every trip starts with a new ocean.
Water temperatures change through the seasons.
Currents move.
Bait concentrations shift.
Gamefish follow those changes.
A productive area from an earlier trip may be quiet during the next visit, while another location may suddenly become active.
That uncertainty is part of sportfishing.
Captain Oscar and the Blue Water crew had five hours to interpret what December 13 presented and convert the available opportunities.
They finished with two species and a successful marlin release.
Cabo Fishing History Records Another Blue Water Charter
The historical record for December 13 is straightforward.
Returning customer Vielka brought Jason, Chris, Miguel and Victor aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water.
Captain Oscar departed Cabo San Lucas at 7:00 AM.
The group had five hours available.
During the morning, they caught one dorado and one marlin.
The marlin was successfully released back into the Pacific.
At noon, the Blue Water returned after a charter that produced two very different offshore gamefish.
For Vielka and her group, it added another chapter to their history fishing with Blue Sky Cabo—and another reason a repeat visit doesn’t have to produce a repeat experience.
