Large Tuna Headlines the August 28 Cabo Fishing Report
One quality fish was enough to make August 28, 2026 a memorable day aboard the 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea. Captain David departed the Cabo marina at 6:15 AM with John, James, Tyler, Aaron, Rush, Andrew and Michael for a scheduled five-hour Cabo fishing charter, and the morning ultimately developed into a test of patience and persistence when the group connected with a large tuna.
The scheduled trip was supposed to finish at 11:15 AM. Instead, the crew remained offshore for approximately one additional hour so the anglers could complete the fight and put the tuna aboard.
The result was a successful ending to a charter where the quality of the catch mattered considerably more than quantity.
Cabo Tuna Fishing – Catch and Charter Highlights
- 1 large tuna successfully landed
- 7 anglers fishing aboard Blue Sea
- 5-hour scheduled charter
- Approximately 1 additional hour spent finishing the tuna battle
- Approximately 6 total hours on the water
- Captain David leading the offshore program
- Warm late-August Cabo fishing conditions
Large tuna bring a different dimension to Cabo sport fishing because the fight frequently develops beneath the surface rather than through spectacular aerial displays. Sustained pressure, powerful runs and the fish’s strength in deeper water can make the final stages especially demanding.
August 28 Cabo Fishing Performance Grid
| TRIP FACTOR | RESULT | ASSESSMENT |
| Catch Quality | Large Tuna | Excellent |
| Anglers | 7 | Private Group |
| Scheduled Time | 5 Hours | Morning Charter |
| Extra Time | 1 Hour | Tuna Fight |
| Total Fishing Time | Approx. 6 Hours | Extended |
| Catch Result | Tuna Landed | Successful |
| Crew Commitment | Stayed With Fish | Excellent |
This trip is a useful example of why a Cabo fishing report should include more than a final fish count. One substantial game fish requiring an extended fight can create a more demanding experience than several smaller fish caught quickly.
Why Captain David Stayed Beyond the Scheduled Charter
- At 11:15 AM, the scheduled five-hour trip had reached its normal conclusion, but the fishing day had not.
- With a large tuna still determining the outcome, Captain David and the Blue Sea crew stayed on the water for approximately another hour. That decision gave the anglers the time required to work through the fight rather than allowing the scheduled return time to dictate the result.
- Tuna are exceptionally strong swimmers. When a substantial fish settles into a prolonged battle, maintaining controlled pressure becomes important because trying to force the fish prematurely can increase the possibility of tackle failure or a pulled hook.
- The extra time ultimately produced the result everyone aboard wanted: the tuna came over the side.
Late-August Cabo San Lucas Fishing Conditions
- The offshore environment reflected the warm-water character of Cabo fishing in August. Water temperature was approximately 86–88°F, while morning air temperatures near 78°F climbed toward 90°F as the Baja sun strengthened.
- Wind was generally light to moderate from the west-to-northwest. Offshore swell was approximately three to five feet, with a period estimated around 12–15 seconds.
- The moon was in a waning gibbous phase, completing the environmental snapshot for this August 28 Cabo tuna fishing charter.

| Morning Air | Approx. 78°F | Comfortable |
| Daytime Air | Near 90°F | Hot |

Seven Anglers Aboard the 60-Foot Bertram Blue Sea
- For John, James, Tyler, Aaron, Rush, Andrew and Michael, the size of Blue Sea provided an excellent platform for a seven-person private Cabo fishing charter. The 60-foot Bertram offers substantial cockpit room for a group while giving the captain and crew the working space required when a powerful offshore fish is hooked.
- A tuna fight also becomes a team exercise. The angler may be responsible for maintaining pressure, but positioning the boat, managing tackle, clearing equipment and preparing for the final stages require coordinated work from the crew.
- That teamwork became especially important as the charter extended beyond its original five-hour schedule.
One Large Tuna Defines the Cabo Fishing Day
- Not every productive Cabo San Lucas fishing trip is measured by a long catch list. Sometimes a single fish becomes the entire story.
- August 28 was one of those days.
- The group started with a five-hour morning charter and finished after approximately six hours because Captain David and the crew remained committed to completing the tuna fight. The final statistics – one large tuna, seven anglers and one additional hour of fishing – capture the result, but the persistence required to land the fish is what distinguished the trip.
- For anglers considering tuna fishing in Cabo, this report illustrates the unpredictable nature of offshore sport fishing. A charter can change with one strike, and when that strike comes from a powerful tuna, the final hour can become the most memorable part of the entire day.
