September 24, 2023 produced a quality two-species Cabo fishing charter for Hollie and Lucas from the Nashville, Tennessee area. Fishing aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky, the two anglers completed their five-hour morning with 1 sailfish successfully released and 1 dorado landed and kept.
Blue Sky departed F Dock at 7:00 AM and fished until noon. Rather than a high-volume numbers day, this charter delivered two distinctive offshore game fish and gave Hollie and Lucas both a billfish encounter and classic Cabo dorado action within a compact five-hour fishing window.
Cabo Sailfish Fishing Produces a Successful Release
The sailfish was the headline catch of the morning.
Known for its extraordinary speed, long bill and unmistakable dorsal fin, the sailfish provides one of offshore fishing’s most visually impressive battles. Hooking one during a private Cabo San Lucas fishing charter gave Hollie and Lucas a significant billfish experience.
After the fight was completed, the sailfish was successfully released.
That made the catch especially notable: one of Cabo’s premier offshore predators was landed, documented and returned to the water.
Cabo Dorado Adds a Second Quality Game Fish
The fishing day also produced 1 dorado, which was landed and kept.
Dorado offered Hollie and Lucas a completely different style of fight from the sailfish. Their explosive strikes, rapid acceleration, brilliant coloration and tendency to jump make them one of the most popular game fish encountered around Cabo.
The final catch was concise:
- 1 sailfish released
- 1 dorado landed and kept
- 2 total game fish
- 2 different offshore species
- 2 anglers
- 5 hours of Cabo fishing
For a two-person charter, both fish represented meaningful opportunities rather than secondary catches used simply to increase the numbers.
Two Cabo Game-Fish Species in Five Hours
One of the strongest features of the September 24 report was the diversity of the catch within a relatively short fishing window.
Hollie and Lucas were scheduled aboard Blue Sky from 7:00 AM until noon, providing only five hours to locate productive offshore activity.
Within that period, the charter generated encounters with two highly recognizable Cabo species.
The sailfish supplied the billfish component, while the dorado delivered a second pelagic game-fish experience. This combination illustrates why Cabo fishing can change rapidly throughout a morning and why anglers cannot always predict which species will appear behind the boat.
Five-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter Produces Quality
Not every successful fishing charter needs to produce double-digit catch totals.
For many vacationing anglers, the quality of individual encounters matters as much as the number of fish landed. A sailfish release combined with a dorado provides a strong example.
A five-hour charter can also work well for couples, families and vacationers who want a meaningful offshore fishing experience without committing their entire day.
Hollie and Lucas left F Dock at 7:00 AM and were back around noon after experiencing two different offshore game fish.
Their trip demonstrates that a shorter Cabo fishing charter can still generate memorable results when productive fish are located.
Blue Sky Provides a Spacious Cabo Fishing Platform
The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky provided Hollie and Lucas with considerable room for a private two-person fishing charter.
With only two anglers aboard, there was no need to rotate fishing opportunities through a large group. When the sailfish and dorado entered the spread, the anglers could focus directly on each encounter with support from the captain and crew.
That combination of private space and personalized attention is particularly valuable when a billfish appears.
Managing the boat, maintaining line control and coordinating the fight all become important when converting a sailfish strike into a successful release.
September 24 Cabo Fishing Weather Conditions
The September 24 morning around Cabo San Lucas was warm, with temperatures approximately 80–82°F early before climbing toward the upper 80s by late morning.
Skies were mostly clear to partly cloudy, with relatively light wind earlier in the day and increasing wind approaching midday. Humidity remained approximately 70–75%, barometric pressure was around 1011–1013 mb, and visibility was approximately six miles.
Sunrise occurred close to 6:10 AM.
Because Blue Sky departed at 7:00 AM, Hollie and Lucas began fishing after sunrise and continued through the warming late-morning period before returning to F Dock at noon.
Cabo Fishing Results Are About More Than Numbers
Daily fishing reports are most useful when they document what actually happened rather than attempting to make every charter appear identical.
Some days produce large numbers of dorado or tuna. Other trips are defined by one major billfish encounter and another quality game fish.
September 24 belonged in the second category.
Hollie and Lucas experienced a sailfish and a dorado during a five-hour private charter. The sailfish was released, while the dorado was kept.
For anglers researching Cabo San Lucas fishing, this type of report provides a realistic example of how a shorter charter can combine species diversity with a significant billfish encounter.
Final Cabo Fishing Report Summary
September 24, 2023 delivered two quality offshore species for Hollie and Lucas aboard Blue Sky.
1 Sailfish Released + 1 Dorado Kept = 2 Quality Game Fish During a 5-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter.
