Cabo Fishing Report – 2 Bull Dorado – August 26, 2023
32 Foot Luhrs Blue Star – Captain Jorge
Two impressive bull dorado highlighted an eight-hour Cabo fishing charter for Conrad and Vertis aboard the 32 Foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Jorge on August 26, 2023. Visiting from the New York City area, the pair departed at 6:00 a.m. for a full day on the Pacific, giving Captain Jorge until 2:00 p.m. to search the warm offshore waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
Conditions were distinctly tropical. The morning temperature was approximately 81°F, climbing into the low 90s as the day progressed. Historical records show a high around 93°F, with light precipitation possible later in the day. Winds were approximately 8 mph at 6:00 a.m., increasing through the afternoon. Historical August water data places the offshore temperature around 83°F–85°F, an excellent range for late-summer dorado activity.

The stars of this Cabo fishing adventure were unquestionably the two bull dorado.
Bull dorado are mature male mahi mahi, immediately recognizable by their larger, squared-off forehead and muscular body. They are among the most spectacular offshore game fish found around southern Baja, combining tremendous speed with aggressive feeding behavior and explosive aerial displays.
For Conrad and Vertis, encountering two quality bulls transformed the charter into a memorable late-August fishing experience.
Captain Jorge used the additional range provided by an eight-hour trip to search for the offshore indicators associated with productive dorado water. Current boundaries, temperature changes, floating debris, concentrated bait and working birds can all reveal areas where dorado are actively feeding.
Late August can be particularly interesting because warm Pacific currents create favorable conditions for several pelagic species. Dorado may travel alongside yellowfin tuna, skipjack, wahoo and marlin, requiring experienced crews to remain prepared for whatever opportunity develops behind the boat.
Once a bull dorado strikes, the experience changes immediately.
These fish can accelerate rapidly before changing direction and exploding from the surface. Their spectacular jumps are matched by remarkable coloration. Brilliant gold, fluorescent green and electric blue can flash across the fish as it fights near the boat.
The larger male dorado can also deliver considerable pulling power. Maintaining steady pressure becomes essential as the fish alternates between surface runs, sudden direction changes and aerial attempts to throw the hook.
Landing two bull dorado gave Conrad and Vertis two memorable examples of why dorado fishing in Cabo San Lucas remains so popular during the warm-water season.
Captain Jorge’s ability to read the Pacific was an important part of the day. Successful offshore fishing involves much more than following coordinates from yesterday’s catch. Currents move, bait shifts and productive water can change rapidly.
Experienced captains continually evaluate the environment.
Birds diving repeatedly may indicate bait being pushed toward the surface. Floating debris can provide shelter for smaller marine life and create a miniature feeding ecosystem. Changes in water color may identify current boundaries where bait becomes concentrated.
Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours prepares its crews to take advantage of these changing conditions. Professional rods and reels, live and rigged bait, trolling equipment and proven teaser presentations provide Captain Jorge with multiple options instead of relying on one fishing method.
That flexibility becomes particularly valuable during a full eight-hour Cabo fishing charter.
Longer trips give captains more freedom to investigate promising offshore signs, change fishing areas when necessary and remain with productive conditions once fish are located. For serious anglers, those additional hours can significantly expand the day’s possibilities.
The 32 Foot Luhrs Blue Star is also well suited to a two-person private charter. Its maneuverability allows Captain Jorge to react quickly to surface activity while providing Conrad and Vertis with a fishing-focused platform where every hookup belongs to their group.
Private fishing means there is no rotation with unrelated passengers. The captain and crew can concentrate completely on the guests’ experience, fishing goals and the conditions unfolding that day.
For Conrad and Vertis, the final catch was about quality rather than sheer numbers.
Two mature bull dorado can create an exceptional fishing memory. Each fish combines the anticipation of the strike, the intensity of the battle and the unforgettable moment when a brilliantly colored mahi mahi appears beside the boat.
By the time Blue Star returned toward the Cabo San Lucas Marina at 2:00 p.m., the pair had spent eight hours experiencing the changing personality of the Pacific.
For Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours, this August 26 trip represents the value of experienced captains, professional equipment, private boats and adaptable fishing techniques. Every charter develops differently, and the objective is to give the crew the tools and time needed to maximize whatever opportunities the ocean provides.
Captain Jorge accomplished exactly that aboard Blue Star.
Two powerful bull dorado, warm Pacific water, eight hours offshore and a full summer day of Cabo San Lucas fishing gave Conrad and Vertis a memorable private adventure—and another excellent example of late-August dorado fishing with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours.
