September 12, 2023 produced an action-filled day of Cabo fishing for repeat Blue Sky Cabo client Robert, who headed out aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar for a full eight-hour charter. Fishing from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM, Robert and the crew finished with 8 dorado and 2 skipjack for 10 total game fish, making dorado the dominant species and giving this returning guest steady action during his September Cabo fishing trip.
Eight Dorado Highlight a Strong Cabo Fishing Charter
Dorado clearly controlled the September 12 catch, accounting for eight of the 10 fish landed during the trip. September’s warm offshore environment around Cabo San Lucas can provide excellent conditions for dorado, particularly where currents, bait concentrations, temperature changes and floating structure create productive feeding areas.
Captain Oscar and the Blue Water crew remained focused on locating active water and maintaining an effective trolling presentation. Dorado can appear individually, in pairs or in larger groups, which means the first hookup can sometimes signal additional fish nearby.
That made efficient teamwork important. Once activity developed, the crew needed to keep baits prepared and the boat positioned correctly so additional opportunities could be converted into hookups.
By the end of the eight-hour charter, eight dorado had been landed, while two skipjack added additional action and brought the day’s overall total to 10 fish.
Cabo Weather and Ocean Conditions on September 12
Warm September conditions surrounded the fishing day. Air temperature was approximately 82°F during the early morning, increasing toward approximately 88°F around midday. Winds were lighter during the early portion of the charter before strengthening as the day progressed.
Offshore conditions included approximately 3-foot waves from the south-southwest with a longer 14-second period. A longer interval between waves can provide a different ride than closely spaced, short-period chop, particularly aboard a substantial offshore sport fishing platform such as the 35-foot Riviera.
The moon was in a waxing crescent phase at approximately 3.5% illumination, placing this charter close to the new-moon portion of the lunar cycle.
For Captain Oscar, the eight-hour schedule provided enough time to adjust as conditions changed throughout the morning and early afternoon instead of relying on a narrow fishing window.
Dredge Fishing Aboard the 35-Foot Riviera Blue Water
The Blue Water crew incorporated a Dredge into the day’s offshore fishing program. A dredge is designed to produce the appearance of a concentrated school of baitfish moving beneath and behind the boat, adding considerably more underwater visual activity to the trolling spread.
This approach can help attract the attention of pelagic predators while the crew presents hook baits and lures around the artificial bait school.
Blue Sky Cabo invests in modern attraction equipment because offshore fishing involves more than simply putting lines behind the boat. Crews must locate productive water, identify signs of bait and game fish, present an effective spread and continually make adjustments as conditions change.
On September 12, the dredge was another component of the fishing strategy that helped Captain Oscar and his crew work Cabo’s offshore waters throughout the eight-hour charter.
Eight Hours Provides More Time to Find the Cabo Bite
Robert’s charter departed at 6:00 AM and continued until 2:00 PM, giving the crew a complete eight-hour fishing window. Longer charters provide important flexibility because offshore conditions and fish activity can change considerably during a single day.
An eight-hour trip provides more time to locate productive water, follow bait concentrations, change trolling patterns, move between fishing areas and remain with active fish once they are located.
The final numbers demonstrate the productivity of this particular trip:
- 8 dorado
- 2 skipjack
- 10 total game fish
- 8 hours on the water
- Dredge deployed
- Repeat Blue Sky Cabo client
Those results made September 12 a strong numbers day rather than a charter defined by one isolated hookup.
Repeat Client Robert Returns to Blue Sky Cabo
Robert’s repeat-client status is another important part of this Cabo fishing report. Returning anglers already understand the Blue Sky Cabo approach and come back with firsthand knowledge of the boats, captains, equipment and service.
For this trip, Robert fished with Captain Oscar aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water, an offshore sport fishing platform that provided plenty of room for the crew to manage multiple hookups and a busy trolling spread.
The September 12 final score was straightforward: 8 dorado, 2 skipjack and 10 total game fish during an eight-hour Cabo fishing charter.
For anglers researching a Cabo San Lucas fishing charter, this trip demonstrates what can happen when sufficient fishing time, an experienced captain, professional equipment and productive September conditions come together. It also adds another successful charter to Robert’s history as a returning Blue Sky Cabo guest.
