March 19, 2024 – Marlin and Skipjack Fishing in Cabo San Lucas
An afternoon return to the Cabo San Lucas Marina on March 19, 2024, marked the completion of a five-hour private fishing charter aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky, operated by Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters. Jacqueline and her group from the Ontario, Canada, area enjoyed a morning on the Pacific waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas, recording 1 marlin and 1 skipjack, both successfully released.
Jacqueline, Bruce, Shaylyn, Jesse, Tracy, Davis, Shea, and Camryn made up the eight-person group, departing from F Dock at 8:00 AM for a private Cabo sportfishing adventure.
The group requested a later morning departure rather than the earlier start commonly associated with offshore fishing trips. Their charter concluded at 1:00 PM, providing five hours aboard the Riviera Blue Sky.

Marlin Fishing in Cabo During March
The marlin was the principal game fish recorded during Jacqueline’s March 19 fishing charter. Cabo San Lucas is internationally recognized for its billfish opportunities, particularly during the cooler months when striped marlin are regularly encountered around southern Baja California.
March remains an important period for visiting anglers interested in targeting marlin. These powerful offshore predators are recognized for their strength, endurance, and spectacular fighting characteristics.
For Jacqueline, Bruce, Shaylyn, Jesse, Tracy, Davis, Shea, and Camryn, the marlin catch provided a memorable part of their Cabo fishing experience.
The fish was released, allowing it to return to the ocean rather than being retained. Responsible billfish handling remains an important part of recreational sportfishing throughout the Los Cabos region.
Although the charter did not include a dredge teaser, the fishing results demonstrated that a successful marlin encounter does not necessarily depend on using this particular piece of equipment.
Skipjack Fishing Adds a Second Species to the Charter
Alongside the marlin, the group caught and released one skipjack, adding another species to the day’s fishing results.
Skipjack belong to the tuna family and are commonly encountered in the offshore waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas. Known for their speed, aggressive feeding behavior, and determined resistance, these fish provide an entertaining challenge on conventional fishing tackle.
The skipjack was released, bringing the charter’s total to two fish caught and returned to the water.
While skipjack are considerably smaller than marlin, they contribute to the diversity of Cabo’s offshore fishery and provide additional fishing opportunities for visiting anglers.
A Five-Hour Private Cabo Fishing Charter With an 8:00 AM Departure
One distinguishing feature of Jacqueline’s March 19 charter was the requested 8:00 AM departure.
Many Cabo fishing excursions begin around sunrise, but private charters can accommodate different schedules when arrangements are made in advance.
For this eight-person group, the later departure provided an opportunity to enjoy the morning without committing to a particularly early marina arrival.
The five-hour itinerary allowed everyone to experience offshore sportfishing while retaining much of the afternoon for other activities in Cabo San Lucas.
The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky offered a comfortable private yacht setting for the group, with sufficient room for guests to share the fishing experience together.
Catch-and-Release Fishing Aboard the Riviera Blue Sky
Both fish recorded during the March 19 charter were released, making catch-and-release fishing a defining feature of the outing.
Releasing marlin is a well-established practice among responsible sportfishing operations in Cabo San Lucas. It supports conservation efforts while allowing visiting anglers to enjoy the challenge of pursuing these remarkable billfish.
Jacqueline’s charter also included the release of the skipjack, meaning neither fish was retained.
The combination of a marlin encounter, a second offshore species, and a private five-hour itinerary made this a distinctive Cabo fishing experience for the eight guests.
