September fishing in Cabo San Lucas delivered another productive mixed-species day for Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters and Tours on September 5, 2026, when Thomas and Andrew from Dallas joined Captain Luis aboard the 43-foot Riviera for an eight-hour Cabo fishing charter. The final tally was an excellent combination of two dorado and two wahoo, giving the anglers two of Cabo’s most exciting offshore game fish during the same trip.
This particular charter had an important personal connection because the guests specifically requested Captain Luis, having fished successfully with him before. Returning anglers frequently develop confidence in a particular captain, and that familiarity can be valuable because the captain already understands how the guests like to fish, their experience level, and what they hope to accomplish during the day. The Riviera departed the Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM, providing a full eight-hour window to locate productive water and adjust the fishing program as conditions developed. September is one of the most interesting periods for Cabo fishing because warm Pacific water can support dorado, wahoo, tuna and billfish simultaneously, creating opportunities where anglers never know exactly what might attack the spread next.
Warm September Cabo Fishing Conditions for Dorado and Wahoo
Conditions were distinctly tropical. Historical observations for September 5 show daytime temperatures approaching 90°F, while offshore water was exceptionally warm during this period. The moon was a waning crescent at roughly 36% illumination.
The morning began warm, with temperatures climbing as the charter progressed. Westerly winds increased later in the day, making the early departure especially valuable. September weather around Cabo can change quickly, so an experienced captain must constantly consider wind direction, current, water temperature, bait activity and changing surface conditions when deciding whether to remain on productive water or move.
Captain Luis worked the offshore grounds searching for the signs that experienced Cabo fishing captains watch closely: temperature changes, current edges, birds, floating debris, bait concentrations and areas where predatory fish are actively feeding.
Two Dorado Add Color and Speed to the Cabo Fishing Charter
The first half of the day’s final scorecard came from dorado fishing in Cabo San Lucas, with two dorado brought aboard during the charter. Dorado are perfectly suited to the warm September waters surrounding the tip of Baja California Sur and are famous for their explosive strikes, rapid direction changes and brilliant coloration.
Finding one dorado can also be an important clue because these fish frequently associate with productive patches of water containing bait. When the first fish appears, an experienced crew remains alert because additional dorado or completely different offshore species may be working the same general zone.
With two dorado accounted for, Thomas and Andrew already had a productive Cabo fishing day, but Captain Luis and the crew continued working rather than settling for the early success.
Two Wahoo Turn a Good Cabo Fishing Day Into an Outstanding Mixed Catch
The addition of two wahoo transformed the trip into an especially impressive mixed-species outing.
Wahoo are among the fastest and most aggressive predators encountered on a Cabo San Lucas fishing charter. Their initial strike can be violent, followed by blistering runs that make dependable tackle, sharp hooks and an attentive crew extremely important. Their razor-sharp teeth also make proper rigging essential once these fish begin attacking the spread.
Catching one wahoo is memorable. Putting two wahoo alongside two dorado during an eight-hour charter provided Thomas and Andrew with the type of September fishing variety that makes Cabo such an internationally recognized sportfishing destination.
The result also demonstrates why an eight-hour Cabo fishing charter can offer an advantage to anglers who want more than a short introduction to offshore fishing. Additional fishing time gives the captain greater flexibility to explore changing water, remain with productive signs, alter tactics and continue hunting after the first fish has been caught.
Returning to Cabo Specifically to Fish With Captain Luis
One of the strongest parts of this September 5 fishing report is not simply the four-fish result, but the fact that Thomas and Andrew specifically wanted to fish with Captain Luis again. Repeat guests requesting the same captain reflect the importance of trust on the water. Successful offshore fishing requires countless decisions throughout an eight-hour day, including where to begin, when to relocate, how long to work an area, how to react to changing conditions and how aggressively to pursue additional species after fish are already on the board.
On this trip, that established relationship produced another memorable result: two dorado and two wahoo aboard Blue Sky Cabo’s 43-foot Riviera.
For anglers researching Cabo fishing reports, Cabo San Lucas fishing charters, dorado fishing Cabo, wahoo fishing Cabo, or the best time to experience offshore fishing in Los Cabos, early September continues to demonstrate why the late-summer fishery deserves serious consideration. Warm water, multiple pelagic species and the possibility of encountering several different game fish during one charter create an exciting environment for both returning anglers and first-time Cabo visitors.
Thomas and Andrew came back wanting another day with Captain Luis, and eight hours later the fish box told the story: two dorado, two wahoo and another successful Cabo fishing charter completed.
