December 20, 2023 – 4 Dorado Caught – Cabo Fishing Report
Four dorado highlighted an eight-hour Cabo San Lucas fishing charter aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky on Wednesday, December 20, 2023. Captain Luis welcomed seven anglers for a full-day offshore excursion with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours, departing F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM.
Dan, Joe, Daniel, Kevin, Caden, Dylan and Taylor made up the seven-person fishing group, with Hacienda del Mar identified as their Los Cabos resort.
The reservation included guests with geographic connections to Anchorage, Alaska; Seattle, Washington; and Spokane, Washington. These metropolitan associations provide context for the visiting group without assuming every guest resides in those cities.
The charter included Blue Sky Cabo’s dredge fishing equipment, providing the crew with an additional offshore fish-attraction technique. Lunch was not included in the reservation.
The recorded result was four dorado, a popular offshore game fish prized for its spectacular colors, aggressive feeding behavior and exciting fights.

December Cabo Fishing Charter – Eight Hours Aboard the Blue Sky
An eight-hour fishing charter gives anglers an opportunity to dedicate a substantial portion of their day to offshore sportfishing around Cabo San Lucas.
For Dan and his six fellow guests, the December 20 reservation provided a full fishing schedule aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky.
The yacht was scheduled to depart at 6:00 AM and return at 2:00 PM, allowing Captain Luis and the group to spend the morning and early afternoon pursuing offshore game fish.
Cabo San Lucas sits at the southern end of the Baja California Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez influence a productive marine environment.
Changing currents, baitfish concentrations and seasonal water temperatures contribute to the fishing opportunities available throughout the year.
December is particularly well known for marlin fishing, but dorado can also be encountered when favorable water conditions and food sources bring them into the region.
For this charter, dorado were the only species recorded in the final catch.
Cabo Fishing Report – Four Dorado in December
Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, are among the most recognizable offshore game fish found around Cabo San Lucas.
Their brilliant green, blue and golden coloration makes them distinctive, while their speed and aggressive feeding behavior create exciting opportunities for recreational anglers.
Dorado frequently associate with floating debris, current edges, baitfish concentrations and other features that provide feeding opportunities.
When located, these fish can respond aggressively to suitable fishing presentations.
The December 20 charter recorded four dorado aboard the Blue Sky.
The original booking does not specify the individual fish weights, the precise fishing grounds or which guests caught each fish.
Those details are therefore not assigned to the outing.
For the seven anglers, the result demonstrated that dorado fishing opportunities can extend into December, even as seasonal conditions shift toward Cabo’s cooler-water fishing period.
Dorado are also among the species that Blue Sky Cabo allows guests to retain in accordance with applicable fishing regulations.
The reservation confirms the catch but does not separately document whether the fish were retained.
Cabo Fishing Yacht Charter – Dredge Fishing Equipment Included
One important feature of the December 20 reservation was the inclusion of dredge fishing equipment.
A dredge is a specialized offshore fishing device designed to create the appearance of a concentrated group of baitfish moving through the water.
Depending on its configuration, a dredge may use artificial fish, reflective components or other attractors to imitate schooling bait.
This presentation can help draw the attention of offshore predators.
Dredges are widely associated with billfish fishing, although they may also attract the interest of other predatory species.
For the Blue Sky charter, dredge fishing was specifically included in the reservation.
That distinction matters because not every charter includes the same fishing equipment or presentation options.
The booking does not identify which technique produced each dorado, so the fish are not attributed directly to the dredge.
Nevertheless, the equipment formed part of the group’s planned offshore fishing experience.
Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Seven Guests from Alaska and Washington
The December 20 reservation brought together seven named guests with connections to several Pacific Northwest locations.
Dan, Dylan and Taylor were associated with Anchorage, Alaska.
Joe and Daniel had a geographic connection to Seattle, Washington, while Kevin and Caden were associated with Spokane, Washington.
These are regional associations from the reservation contact information rather than independently verified residential addresses.
The group was connected with Hacienda del Mar during its Los Cabos visit.
For travelers from Alaska and Washington, Cabo San Lucas offers a dramatic contrast in winter scenery, with desert landscapes, Pacific Ocean views and opportunities for warm-weather outdoor activities.
A private fishing charter provides an opportunity to experience the destination beyond its resorts and beaches.
For this seven-person group, the eight-hour excursion offered a substantial day offshore aboard a larger Riviera sportfishing yacht.
The reservation did not include lunch, an important practical detail for guests planning a full-day fishing trip.
Cabo Fishing Yacht Charter – Captain Luis on the 43 Foot Riviera
Captain Luis is associated with the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky in the Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours fleet.
The yacht operates from F Dock at IGY Marina, a central departure location for recreational fishing in Cabo San Lucas.
For groups of seven anglers, selecting a larger vessel can provide additional onboard space during an extended charter.
The Blue Sky’s eight-hour schedule offered more time offshore than a shorter five- or six-hour excursion.
Longer fishing trips can be useful when productive fishing areas are farther from the marina or when changing conditions require adjustments throughout the day.
The December 20 booking does not identify the specific offshore banks or trolling routes used during the excursion.
The confirmed operational details are the vessel, captain assignment, seven guests, eight-hour schedule and included dredge equipment.
December Cabo Fishing Report – Understanding Seasonal Dorado Opportunities
Cabo San Lucas fishing changes throughout the year.
Dorado are often associated with warmer water, productive current boundaries and concentrations of baitfish.
Their movements can vary considerably as ocean temperatures and food availability change.
Although autumn is frequently considered an important dorado season around Cabo, these fish may still be encountered during December.
For anglers researching historical fishing reports, this charter provides a useful example of dorado activity during the winter fishing calendar.
The four-fish result reflects the specific conditions and opportunities encountered during the December 20 excursion.
It should not be interpreted as a prediction or guarantee for future charters.
Successful offshore fishing depends on many factors, including weather, water conditions, fish movements and the experience of the fishing crew.
Cabo Fishing Charter Report – A Full-Day Experience at Sea
The eight-hour charter format remains popular among anglers interested in spending more time offshore.
For the December 20 group, the early departure and scheduled 2:00 PM return provided an extended fishing window aboard the Riviera Blue Sky.
Seven passengers participated, with dredge fishing equipment included in the booking.
The group was associated with Hacienda del Mar, and its members had geographic connections to Anchorage, Seattle and Spokane.
Their recorded catch demonstrated the variety of offshore game fish that can be encountered around Cabo San Lucas during December.
While the charter record does not document individual catch assignments or detailed fishing techniques, it provides a clear account of the group’s fishing results.
