Ryan and Kerri had the entire 35′ Riviera to themselves, giving Captain David a two-angler charter to work with during the warm August morning.
Cabo Fishing Charter Starts Early Aboard Blue Water
A 6:00 AM departure is particularly useful during Cabo’s summer season.
The early start allows anglers to fish through the cooler part of the morning before the Baja sun pushes temperatures higher. It also puts the boat on the water during an important period for locating bait and surface activity.
With only Ryan and Kerri aboard, Blue Water offered plenty of fishing room.
The 35′ Riviera is large enough to provide a comfortable offshore platform while remaining well suited to a private two-person charter. That combination gave the couple room to move around the cockpit as the fishing action developed.
The first five-hour window produced an average of one fish per hour.
Cabo Fish Report Features Dorado and Skipjack Action
The dorado provided the signature summer game-fish encounter.
August’s warm water is well suited to dorado, which may be found around current edges, weed lines, floating debris and concentrations of bait.
Once a dorado enters a trolling spread, the action can develop quickly.
These fish are capable of explosive acceleration and repeated jumps, and their brilliant green, blue and yellow coloration makes them one of the most recognizable fish encountered around Cabo San Lucas.
Four skipjack accounted for the majority of the action.
Skipjack are built for speed. Their streamlined bodies allow them to make hard initial runs, and they can produce surprisingly demanding fights relative to their size.
For a two-person charter, four skipjack meant Ryan and Kerri had multiple opportunities to get involved.
Cabo Charter Fishing Statistics Show an Active Five Hours
The statistics provide another way to look at the morning.
Five fish during five charter hours works out to 1.0 fish per hour across the trip.
With two anglers aboard, the overall catch represented 2.5 fish per angler.
The catch was also split across two pelagic species, giving Ryan and Kerri more variety than a single-species morning.
Water temperatures around Cabo during mid-August commonly occupy the mid-80°F range, while late-morning air temperatures can approach the upper 80s and low 90s.
That makes a 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM charter an attractive summer format for anglers who want meaningful offshore fishing without committing to the strongest afternoon heat.
Cabo Fishing Report Ends With Five Fish Before 11 AM
By the scheduled return, Ryan and Kerri had completed five private hours aboard Blue Water.
Captain David’s morning produced a dorado encounter plus four hard-fighting skipjack, resulting in five total fish for only two anglers.
It was a compact charter rather than a full-day expedition, but the fishing activity remained steady enough to generate an average of one fish for every hour of charter time.
For Ryan and Kerri, August 14 delivered exactly the type of variety that makes Cabo’s warm-water season interesting: two anglers, two species and five fish before lunchtime.
