September 22, 2023 – 16 Dorado, 10 Released – Cabo Fishing Report
Sixteen dorado in eight hours made September 22, 2023 an exceptionally active day aboard the 35′ Riviera Blue Water with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours.
Joshua’s four-person group departed F Dock at IGY Marina shortly after 6:00 AM for an eight-hour Cabo fishing charter with Captain Oscar. The group added Blue Sky Cabo’s fish-attraction dredge to the fishing program and had lunch included for the full-day trip.
The final numbers were outstanding: 16 dorado caught, with 10 released back into the Pacific.
That meant nearly two-thirds of the day’s dorado catch was released.

Sixteen Dorado Drive Cabo Fishing Charter
A 16-fish day is significant for any private fishing group, but this charter becomes even more interesting when the release numbers are considered.
Joshua’s group caught 16 dorado.
Ten were released.
Only six were retained.
That means 62.5% of all dorado caught during the charter were returned to the water.
For four anglers, the total catch represented an average of four dorado per guest over the eight-hour trip.
Those numbers give the September 22 fishing report a very different character from a day built around one or two major encounters. This was a volume day, with dorado accounting for every documented fish.
Dredge Included in Cabo Fishing Program
Joshua’s group selected Blue Sky Cabo’s fish-attraction dredge for the trip.
The dredge adds a larger visual presentation beneath and behind the yacht, creating the appearance of concentrated bait activity. Flash, movement and multiple artificial baitfish can help attract the attention of offshore predators investigating the trolling spread.
It is one of the specialized fishing tools available through Blue Sky Cabo for guests who want to add another dimension to their offshore program.
The historical charter record confirms that the dredge was used on September 22.
It does not document which individual dorado were attracted by the dredge or the exact sequence of the hookups, so those details aren’t being reconstructed.
What is documented is the result:
16 dorado in eight hours.
Cabo Charter Fishing With Captain Oscar
Captain Oscar was aboard the 35′ Riviera Blue Water for Joshua’s full-day charter.
The group had eight scheduled hours on the water, beginning at 6:15 AM and concluding at 2:15 PM.
An eight-hour trip provides considerably more fishing time than a shorter morning charter and allows the crew additional opportunity to adapt as conditions and fish activity change during the day.
Offshore fishing is rarely static.
Bait moves, currents change and game fish can appear or disappear from an area quickly.
On September 22, the extended fishing window produced sustained dorado results.
With lunch included, the four-person group was equipped for a full fishing day rather than a short run offshore.
Dorado Release Adds to Cabo Fishing Report
Blue Sky Cabo’s standard policy allows dorado to be retained, but Joshua’s group made substantial use of release fishing during this charter.
Of the 16 dorado recorded, 10 went back into the Pacific.
That is worth highlighting.
Catch totals tell only one part of a fishing story. Release information provides additional context about what happened after those fish were caught.
In this case:
16 Dorado Caught
10 Dorado Released
6 Dorado Retained
62.5% Release Rate
The result combined high-volume fishing with selective retention.
Dorado Deliver Cabo Sportfishing Action
Dorado are among the most recognizable offshore game fish encountered around Cabo San Lucas.
Their brilliant yellow, green and blue coloration makes them visually spectacular, but their reputation with anglers is built equally on performance.
Dorado can strike aggressively, accelerate quickly and produce energetic surface action.
When multiple dorado are active, the pace aboard a fishing boat can change rapidly.
Joshua’s September 22 charter recorded 16 individual dorado encounters during the eight-hour trip.
With four guests aboard, that created substantial opportunity for the group.
The numbers work out to an average of two dorado caught per charter hour.
That doesn’t mean the fish arrived at perfectly spaced intervals. Fishing rarely works that way.
Instead, it illustrates the overall productivity of the day.
Blue Water Records Productive Cabo Fishing Day
The 35′ Riviera Blue Water returned to F Dock at approximately 2:15 PM after completing the full eight-hour charter.
The historical record does not specify the precise offshore fishing grounds, individual bait choices, lure colors or the order in which the 16 dorado were caught.
Those details are intentionally not being invented.
The documented information already provides a strong picture of the day.
Joshua’s four-person group fished with Captain Oscar aboard Blue Water.
They selected the dredge.
They spent eight hours fishing.
They caught 16 dorado.
And they released 10 of them.
For Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours, September 22, 2023 stands as another important entry in the historical fishing archive—and an excellent example of a high-volume dorado day aboard the 35′ Riviera Blue Water.
