What a memorable day on the water for Jon and Adrienne! On Monday, February 19, 2024, the couple enjoyed a private ten-hour fishing adventure aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters.

With Captain Luis and his crew preparing for an early 6:00 AM departure from F Dock at IGY Marina, the couple had plenty of time to explore the fishing opportunities along the Pacific coastline and offshore waters.
The itinerary included fishing around Golden Gate, with the tournament dredge requested for offshore billfish presentations. Lunch and additional food were also arranged for their extended day aboard.
By the scheduled 4:00 PM return, one roosterfish and one marlin had been recorded, giving the couple a memorable combination of coastal and offshore fishing.

Cabo Fishing Charter – A Roosterfish Along the Pacific Coast
Roosterfish are among the most recognizable and exciting species found along the Baja California coastline.
Their distinctive dorsal fins, powerful movements, and determined fighting style make them a favorite among anglers seeking an unforgettable coastal fishing experience.
For Jon and Adrienne, the roosterfish provided one of the day’s memorable catches.
Unlike offshore billfish, roosterfish are commonly encountered closer to shore, where baitfish, sandy beaches, and rocky coastal features create productive feeding areas.
The roosterfish was released, consistent with Blue Sky Cabo’s conservation practices.
Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Marlin Action Near Golden Gate
The second featured catch was a marlin, providing a completely different fishing experience.
Golden Gate is one of the well-known Pacific fishing areas northwest of Cabo San Lucas, recognized for seasonal billfish opportunities and offshore baitfish activity.
Marlin fishing requires patience, careful trolling presentations, and coordination between the captain, deckhands, and anglers.
The couple’s ten-hour charter provided additional time to explore offshore fishing opportunities compared with shorter morning trips.
The marlin was successfully caught and released, giving Jon and Adrienne two distinct game fish encounters during their private charter.
Cabo Fishing Report – Tournament Dredge and Extended Charter Preparation
Jon had requested the tournament dredge, a specialized Fish Attraction Device designed to create the underwater appearance of schooling baitfish.
This equipment can attract marlin toward the trolling spread, providing opportunities for the crew to present additional fishing lures or bait.
The reservation record also noted that the dredge charge was refunded.
The extended charter included several personalized arrangements:
- Ten hours aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky.
- Lunch for two and additional food provisions.
- Tournament dredge requested for offshore fishing.
- Three short-sleeved cotton shirts in the requested sizes.
These arrangements helped make the charter a personalized experience for the two visiting anglers.
Cabo Fishing Charter – Ten Hours of Pacific Adventure
A ten-hour fishing charter offers anglers the flexibility to pursue different species and explore fishing areas farther from Cabo San Lucas.
For Jon and Adrienne, the combination of one roosterfish and one marlin demonstrated the variety available in Baja California waters.
Captain Luis and the crew managed the fishing operation aboard the spacious Riviera Blue Sky, allowing the couple to enjoy a private day together.
With lunch arranged and a scheduled afternoon return, the charter combined serious fishing opportunities with the comfort of a larger sportfishing vessel.
The couple’s February adventure concluded with two game fish recorded and released.
