September 18, 2023 – 5 Dorado, 2 Skipjack – Cabo Fishing Report
Five dorado and two skipjack turned a surprise fishing trip into a seven-fish day for Emily and Nicholas during an eight-hour charter with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours on September 18, 2023.
Emily had planned the Cabo fishing adventure as a surprise for her husband, Nicholas. The couple were staying at Marina Fiesta Resort and were scheduled for a full day on the Pacific.
An operational problem affected their originally assigned boat, but Blue Sky Cabo moved the couple to the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water so their special day could continue.
Captain Oscar departed at 6:00 AM for the eight-hour charter. By the scheduled 2:00 PM return, Emily and Nicholas had recorded five dorado and two skipjack for seven fish total.

Surprise Cabo Fishing Charter Starts With Blue Water
The story behind this charter makes the September 18 fishing results particularly memorable.
Emily wasn’t simply booking another activity during a Cabo vacation. She had arranged an eight-hour fishing trip as a surprise for Nicholas.
When the originally scheduled vessel developed an operational issue, Blue Sky Cabo needed to make an adjustment.
The solution was the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water.
Moving the couple to another yacht allowed their planned fishing day to continue rather than allowing a mechanical issue to disrupt Emily’s surprise.
Captain Oscar took charge of the charter aboard Blue Water.
Lunch was included for both guests, and the couple had a full eight-hour fishing window stretching from early morning until 2:00 PM.
Then the dorado began adding numbers to the catch record.
Five Dorado Lead Cabo Sportfishing Catch
Dorado were unquestionably the dominant fish of the day.
Five of the seven fish recorded aboard Blue Water were dorado, representing more than 70% of the charter’s total catch.
Also known as mahi-mahi, dorado are among the most recognizable game fish in the waters around Cabo San Lucas.
Their coloration alone makes them spectacular.
Dorado can display brilliant combinations of yellow, green and blue, particularly when excited alongside the boat.
But appearance is only part of their appeal.
Dorado are aggressive offshore predators capable of fast strikes, strong runs and exciting surface action. Their combination of speed and athleticism has made them a favorite among both experienced anglers and guests experiencing Cabo sportfishing for the first time.
Five dorado gave Emily and Nicholas plenty to remember from their full-day charter.
Skipjack Add Cabo Fishing Charter Action
Two skipjack completed the day’s seven-fish catch.
Skipjack don’t always receive the attention given to marlin, tuna and dorado, but they are powerful fish capable of providing exciting action on appropriately matched tackle.
Blue Sky Cabo generally releases skipjack rather than retaining them.
However, the original historical charter record lists two skipjack without documenting the individual fish-handling details. For accuracy, this report therefore does not assign a specific release count to the September 18 charter.
What is documented is straightforward:
5 Dorado | 2 Skipjack | 7 Total Fish
For only two guests aboard Blue Water, that made for a productive eight-hour fishing day.
Eight-Hour Cabo Fishing Yacht Experience
Emily and Nicholas selected a full eight-hour charter.
Longer fishing trips provide captains with additional time to react to changing conditions, search different water and remain with productive fishing opportunities when they develop.
Their charter began at 6:00 AM and continued until 2:00 PM.
Captain Oscar had the entire morning and early afternoon available to work with aboard Blue Water.
The original fishing record does not identify the exact fishing grounds or specific bait and lure presentations used during this trip.
Those details are intentionally not being recreated from assumptions.
The confirmed catch provides more than enough information to document the success of the day.
Seven fish for two anglers.
Five of them were dorado.
Cabo Fishing Report Highlights Customer Service
Fishing results matter, but this particular charter also demonstrates the importance of customer service behind the scenes.
Emily had planned a surprise.
An operational issue with the originally assigned boat could have disrupted that experience.
Instead, Blue Sky Cabo arranged Blue Water so the couple could still depart for their planned fishing day.
Operating a multi-vessel charter fleet provides flexibility when unexpected circumstances arise. Boats and equipment require maintenance, and occasionally an operational problem develops at exactly the wrong time.
The important question is how the charter company responds.
For Emily and Nicholas, the response meant boarding the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water and heading fishing with Captain Oscar.
The result was a seven-fish day.
Cabo Sportfishing Catch Creates a Memorable Surprise
By the time Blue Water returned at 2:00 PM, Emily’s surprise for Nicholas had become considerably more than a planned vacation activity.
The couple had spent eight hours together aboard a private Riviera sportfishing yacht.
They had lunch aboard.
They caught five dorado.
They added two skipjack.
And they returned to Cabo San Lucas with a seven-fish story to take home from their vacation.
The fishing record captures the numbers, but the personal reason behind the trip gives those numbers additional meaning.
