Returning guest Mike came back to Blue Sky Cabo on November 27, 2023, this time bringing a group of family and friends aboard the 43-foot Blue Sky Riviera for a five-hour morning charter.
The group included six adults and four children, making this a ten-person outing with several generations sharing the experience. Mike specifically requested a 6:30 AM departure, and the charter ran until 11:30 AM.
The final result was four fish: two dorado that were kept and two skipjack that were released.
A Family Morning Fishing in Cabo
A five-hour charter offers a very different experience from a full offshore day. There is less time available for long-distance searching, so the morning needs to be used efficiently.
For a group traveling with younger children, however, five hours can provide a practical balance. There is enough time to experience Cabo fishing while keeping the overall day manageable for younger guests.
The four children on this trip ranged from five to nine years old. Sharing a fishing charter at those ages can make the experience about much more than the number of fish caught. Watching the crew work, seeing offshore species firsthand and experiencing a fish on the line can become part of a family Cabo memory.

Dorado Add Color to a Cabo Fishing Charter
Two dorado provided the primary game-fish catch of the morning.
Dorado are immediately recognizable when they reach the boat. Their combination of green, blue and yellow coloration can be remarkable, particularly for children seeing one up close for the first time.
They are also exciting fish on rod and reel. Dorado are capable of quick runs and surface jumps, and their unpredictable direction changes can keep an angler working throughout the fight.
Both dorado from this charter were kept.
For families who choose to keep legal table fish, dorado can also extend the fishing experience beyond the boat. Freshly caught dorado is widely appreciated as a food fish and can become part of the group’s Cabo experience after returning to shore.
Skipjack Bring Additional Action to Cabo Fishing
The two skipjack added another dimension to the morning.
Skipjack may be smaller than some of the headline offshore species associated with Cabo, but their size can be misleading. They are strong, fast fish capable of putting up an energetic fight.
Both skipjack caught during this charter were released.
That gave the group two different species and two different outcomes: the dorado were retained while the skipjack went back into the water.
For younger anglers especially, variety can make a short charter interesting. Each bite is different, and every fish creates an opportunity to learn something about the species found in the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
No Dredge on This Five-Hour Cabo Fishing Trip
The booking record originally referenced a dredge request, but the dredge system was removed from the invoice. The November 27 charter therefore fished without the dredge.
That distinction matters when maintaining accurate fishing reports.
A dredge can be an effective attraction system, but it is one component of a broader fishing strategy rather than a requirement for catching game fish. This charter produced four fish without one.
The result reinforces a basic principle of Cabo fishing: crews must work with the time, conditions and opportunities available on that particular day.
Returning to Cabo for Another Fishing Experience
Mike was a repeat guest, and returning customers often approach another charter with a better understanding of how unpredictable fishing can be.
The ocean does not reproduce the same experience from one trip to another. Species change, fish move and every group brings a different dynamic aboard.
This trip was particularly family-oriented. Mike, Karen, Matt, Jonna, John and Abbey were joined by Hunter, Hudson, Max and Jackson for the five-hour morning.
With four children aboard, the experience provided an opportunity for younger family members to participate alongside the adults rather than simply hearing stories about the fishing afterward.
Four Fish and a Family Morning in Cabo
By 11:30 AM, the Blue Sky Riviera was completing its five-hour charter with four fish recorded.
Two dorado were kept. Two skipjack were released.
For a ten-person group that included four children between five and nine years old, those catches became part of a broader morning spent together on the water.
Not every successful Cabo fishing charter needs to be a ten-hour offshore expedition or produce a long list of species. Sometimes the right trip is a shorter family outing that gets everyone involved, creates some action and still leaves much of the day available after returning to the marina.
For returning guest Mike and his group, November 27 delivered exactly that kind of Cabo fishing experience.
