A full eight-hour day aboard the 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea produced two quality game fish for Carl and his group, with one marlin and one dorado completing a mixed-species November catch. The charter ran from 6:15 AM until 2:15 PM, providing the crew with a full day to search offshore waters and adjust the fishing approach as conditions developed.
Carl was a returning Blue Sky Cabo customer who had previously fished with the company, making this another opportunity for his group to experience the offshore waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. Eleven guests were booked aboard the private charter, and the combination of a marlin and dorado gave the group two very different game-fish encounters during the same day.

A Full Day of Fishing Gives the Crew Time to Search Cabo Waters
An eight-hour charter creates a different fishing opportunity than a shorter morning trip because the captain and crew have considerably more time to search, react to changing conditions and remain with promising signs of offshore life.
Rather than having to make every decision around a narrow return window, a full day allows the boat to cover additional water when necessary. That flexibility can become particularly important when game fish are scattered or when productive conditions develop farther from the marina.
For Carl’s group, the day ultimately produced one marlin and one dorado. Although only two game fish were recorded, the combination provided considerably more variety than the total number alone suggests.
Marlin and dorado behave differently, fight differently and create completely different experiences for anglers once they are connected to the line.
Marlin Brings Billfish Action to a November Day in Cabo
The marlin represented the billfish side of the day’s fishing and provided the kind of offshore encounter for which Cabo San Lucas has become internationally recognized.
A dredge was incorporated into the fishing presentation during the charter. Designed to imitate a concentrated group of baitfish beneath the surface, the dredge adds movement and visual attraction behind the boat while the crew works to bring predators toward the trolling spread.
When a marlin becomes interested in the presentation, events can unfold rapidly. The crew must identify the fish’s position, manage the spread and react to its movements while creating the best possible opportunity for a hookup.
Once connected, a marlin can turn a quiet period of searching into the defining moment of the day.
For Carl and his group, the marlin became one half of a mixed offshore catch that also included one of the most colorful game fish encountered in Baja waters.
Dorado Adds Color and Variety to the Cabo Fishing Experience
The dorado provided a sharp contrast to the marlin encounter. Known for brilliant coloration, speed and energetic fights, dorado remain one of the most recognizable pelagic species found around Cabo.
Their combination of bright yellow, green and blue coloration can become especially vivid during the fight. They are also capable of sudden direction changes and spectacular jumps, making the action highly visible to everyone aboard the boat.
A mixed catch involving marlin and dorado demonstrates why anglers fishing these waters often need to remain prepared for more than one species. Offshore conditions that concentrate bait can attract several types of predators, and the next fish entering a trolling presentation may be completely different from the previous encounter.
That unpredictability is one of the reasons historical charter reports are useful. They record what actually happened on a particular day rather than relying entirely on broad seasonal expectations.
November Fishing Around Cabo Can Offer Diverse Offshore Opportunities
November is an important transitional period in the Cabo fishing calendar. Warm offshore water can continue supporting pelagic activity while seasonal changes gradually begin influencing currents, bait distribution and where different species concentrate.
Individual fish do not follow a calendar, however, and daily conditions remain important. Water temperature, current direction, bait concentrations, wind and localized ocean conditions can all affect where crews locate activity.
This makes time on the water valuable.
During an eight-hour charter, the captain has greater flexibility to investigate changing conditions and continue searching when the first area does not immediately produce. It also provides more time to adjust the presentation when the crew sees birds, bait, surface activity or other indications that predators may be nearby.
Carl’s November 6 trip produced two species during that full-day window, adding another documented example of mixed offshore activity during the fall season.
Returning Anglers Build Their Own History Fishing Cabo
Carl’s status as a repeat customer adds another dimension to this charter. Returning anglers have the opportunity to experience how dramatically the same fishery can change between visits.
A previous charter may produce one group of species, while another trip during a different month, year or set of ocean conditions can unfold completely differently. Even consecutive days can produce noticeable changes in water, bait and fish location.
That variability is part of offshore fishing rather than an exception to it.
For repeat customers, each charter becomes another entry in their own fishing history as well as part of Blue Sky Cabo’s larger archive of actual results.
On this trip, that record consisted of one marlin and one dorado during eight hours on the Pacific.
Two Different Game Fish Define This Cabo Charter
Numbers alone never tell the entire story of an offshore trip. Two fish might appear modest when compared with a day involving repeated hookups, but species diversity and the quality of individual encounters are equally important parts of the experience.
A marlin brings the size, power and spectacle associated with billfishing. A dorado delivers speed, brilliant color and an entirely different style of fight.
Experiencing both during the same charter gave Carl’s group a varied day rather than two identical encounters.
With eleven guests aboard the 60-foot Bertram, the larger platform also provided room for the group to share the experience while the crew continued working the fishing presentation throughout the day.
Another November Entry in the Cabo Fishing Record
Blue Sky Cabo’s individual fishing reports are intended to preserve actual charter history over time. Each report records a specific day rather than making promises about what another group will encounter in the future.
That distinction matters because offshore fishing is constantly changing.
When hundreds of individual trips are documented, however, those records begin to show meaningful seasonal patterns. They reveal when different species appeared, which combinations were encountered and how results varied across different charter lengths and periods of the year.
November 6, 2023 adds another simple but useful entry to that record.
Carl and his group spent eight hours offshore aboard the Blue Sea and finished their charter with one marlin and one dorado — two distinctly different game fish during a full day of fishing in Cabo San Lucas.
