October 3, 2023 – 5 Dorado Caught on a 5-Hour Cabo Fishing Charter
Five dorado in five hours made October 3 a productive morning aboard the 32-foot Blue Star with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours. Richard Carber, Christina Shaw and John Shaw headed out of the Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM with Captain Jorge, and by the time the boat returned at 11:00 AM, the anglers had put five dorado on the fishing report.

Historical Los Cabos weather data for October 3 records a low near 75°F and a high near 91°F, with the temperature around 75°F at 6:00 AM and climbing rapidly through the morning. A second historical dataset specifically reports approximately 79°F and 9 mph wind at 6:00 AM, 85°F with 5 mph wind at 9:00 AM and 87°F around noon.
Historical sea-temperature data places Cabo San Lucas water temperature at approximately 85°F on October 3, providing the warm-water environment commonly associated with Cabo’s fall pelagic fishing.
Five Dorado Make the Most of a Five-Hour Cabo Charter
A five-hour trip gives anglers a relatively compact fishing window, so producing five quality game fish represents consistent action rather than a morning built around a single opportunity. Richard, Christina and John had three anglers aboard, which also meant plenty of opportunity to rotate through the action as Captain Jorge worked to stay with the productive water.
Dorado are one of the fish that can quickly change the pace of a Cabo charter. Once a boat finds active fish, the crew has to capitalize on the opportunity. Dorado can travel around current breaks, floating debris, bait concentrations and temperature transitions, and productive schools can turn a quiet stretch of trolling into several hookups in a short period.
On this morning, the final tally tells the story: five dorado during a 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM charter.
October Cabo Fishing Conditions
| Charter Factor | October 3 Report |
|---|---|
| Game Fish Caught | 5 dorado |
| Fishing Window | 5 hours |
| Anglers | 3 |
| Water Temperature | Approx. 85°F |
| Departure Air Temperature | Approx. 79°F |
| Late-Morning Air Temperature | Mid-80s |
| Early Wind | Approx. 9 mph |
| 9:00 AM Wind | Approx. 5 mph |
| Primary Species | Dorado |
| Boat | 32′ Luhrs Blue Star |
October is an important transition month in Cabo San Lucas fishing because warm Pacific and Sea of Cortez water can support a broad mix of offshore species. Dorado are an especially valuable target because they combine speed, aggressive strikes and strong surface action.
The warm water recorded around Cabo on October 3 was certainly compatible with dorado activity, although water temperature alone never determines whether a charter will produce fish. Finding bait, productive current, water clarity and active fish remains the job of the captain and crew.
Captain Jorge and the 32′ Luhrs Blue Star
The Blue Star is a practical choice for anglers who want a private Cabo fishing charter without moving into one of Blue Sky Cabo’s larger yachts. Its 32-foot Luhrs platform is well suited to small groups, couples, families and friends who want a dedicated sport-fishing boat and their own captain and crew.
For this charter, the combination worked particularly well. Three anglers, five hours and five dorado created a straightforward morning of Cabo sport fishing with measurable results.
A shorter charter does involve tradeoffs. An eight- or ten-hour trip provides substantially more time to search different fishing zones, change tactics or run farther when the bite demands it. A five-hour trip depends more heavily on making productive decisions early. On October 3, Captain Jorge and the Blue Star crew were able to convert that shorter fishing window into five dorado.
What This Cabo Fishing Report Shows
Fishing reports are most useful when they document what actually happened rather than suggesting every trip will produce identical results. Ocean conditions, bait, currents and fish movement change continually around Cabo San Lucas.
For Richard, Christina and John, October 3 delivered:
- 5 dorado caught
- 3 anglers
- 5-hour private charter
- Warm water near 85°F
- Lightening morning wind
- 32′ Luhrs Blue Star
- Captain Jorge
That combination made this a productive early-October outing and another useful piece of historical data showing the quality of dorado fishing available around Cabo during the fall season.
Final Cabo Fishing Report Summary
Richard Carber, Christina Shaw and John Shaw departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 AM aboard the 32-foot Luhrs Blue Star with Captain Jorge and returned at 11:00 AM after catching five dorado.
Five game fish during a five-hour private charter gave the group an average of one dorado per charter hour, while the warm October water and manageable morning winds helped provide favorable fishing conditions.
For Blue Sky Cabo, reports such as this one are about documenting the actual day on the water: who fished, which boat they selected, how long they fished, what conditions they encountered and, most importantly, what they caught.
