February 20, 2024 – 1 Mako Shark and 1 Dorado – Cabo Fishing Report

Blue Sky Cabo – 43′ Riviera Blue Sky – Captain Luis – 1 Mako Shark and 1 Dorado

A mako shark, a colorful dorado, and seven guests enjoying the beautiful Pacific Ocean made February 20, 2024, a memorable day aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters.

Tyler and his group from Fargo, North Dakota, had originally reserved five hours of private fishing but decided to extend their adventure to seven hours. With a mix of adults and younger anglers aboard, the extra time offered more opportunities to enjoy the ocean and discover what might be swimming beneath the surface.

Captain Luis and his crew welcomed everyone at F Dock in IGY Marina for a 6:00 AM departure. The group had also requested the tournament dredge, a specialized Fish Attraction Device used to attract offshore predators.

By the scheduled 1:00 PM return, the charter had recorded one mako shark and one dorado, two very different catches that made this family outing particularly interesting.

Cabo Fishing Charter – Meet Tyler and His Family Group

Tyler, Deidre, Randy, Melissa, Carson, Kira, and Miah made up the seven guests from the Fargo, North Dakota, group. Villa del Arco Beach Resort & Spa is a Cabo vacation resort highlighted alongside their fishing adventure.

The group included Carson, 21, Kira, 20, and Miah, 14, making this a multigenerational fishing experience with adults and younger guests sharing the excitement.

The spacious 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky provided a comfortable private setting for everyone to enjoy the ocean together.

Tyler had arranged the tournament dredge and later requested an additional two hours beyond the original five-hour reservation.

The crew also discussed the possibility of seeing whales during the charter, something visitors occasionally enjoy while fishing the waters around Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Charter Statistics

Estimated Hookup Times

Cabo Fishing Charter – A Colorful Dorado Starts the Action

Dorado are among the most recognizable fish encountered around Cabo San Lucas. Their brilliant green, yellow, and blue coloration makes them especially exciting for visiting anglers seeing these beautiful fish up close.

Known for aggressive strikes and energetic fights, dorado can provide plenty of entertainment during a private fishing charter.

For Tyler’s group, the dorado added a classic Cabo sportfishing species to their day’s catch.

Whether an angler is experienced or trying offshore fishing for the first time, watching a dorado fight near the boat is an experience that can become a favorite vacation memory.

Cabo Sportfishing Catch – An Encounter With a Mako Shark

The day’s most unusual catch was the mako shark.

Makos are powerful ocean predators recognized for their streamlined bodies, remarkable speed, and impressive strength.

Encountering a mako while fishing offshore is very different from hooking a dorado. These sharks require careful handling by experienced crews, particularly when brought close to a fishing vessel.

For the seven guests aboard the Blue Sky, the mako provided an opportunity to appreciate another remarkable species found in Pacific waters.

The combination of one mako shark and one dorado demonstrated how unpredictable and varied a Cabo fishing charter can become.

Cabo Fishing Report – Tournament Dredge and Extended Fishing Time

Tyler had requested the tournament dredge as part of the charter’s fishing equipment.

This specialized Fish Attraction Device creates the underwater appearance of schooling baitfish, helping attract curious offshore predators toward the trolling spread.

The family also arranged two additional hours, extending their original five-hour reservation to seven hours.

That decision provided extra time for fishing and enjoying the Pacific Ocean.

Several features made this charter distinctive:

• Seven guests sharing a private family fishing adventure.
• A mako shark and dorado recorded during the outing.
• Tournament dredge equipment included in the fishing arrangements.
• Two additional charter hours added to the original reservation.

The possibility of seeing whales added another interesting element to the group’s Cabo vacation plans, although a dedicated whale-watching period was not confirmed.

Cabo Fishing Charter – Seven Hours of Family Adventure

Fishing with family and friends is about much more than the final catch.

For Tyler, Deidre, Randy, Melissa, Carson, Kira, and Miah, the day offered an opportunity to enjoy the Pacific Ocean together aboard a private sportfishing yacht.

Captain Luis and the crew managed the offshore fishing operation while the group experienced two very different marine species.

The seven-hour schedule provided a balance between time on the water and an early afternoon return to Cabo San Lucas.

From the colorful dorado to the powerful mako shark, February 20 delivered a memorable combination of offshore encounters.

Cabo Fishing Report – Final Catch Results

Tyler’s group returned to IGY Marina with two different species recorded and another memorable experience from their Cabo San Lucas fishing vacation.

Their adventure demonstrated that every offshore charter offers something different, whether the catch is a colorful dorado, a powerful shark, or another exciting Pacific game fish.
