Cabo Sportfishing Catch – Three Marlin Released
Marlin fishing was the defining feature of this January morning.
With three successful billfish catches during a six-hour charter, Howard’s group experienced multiple encounters with one of Cabo San Lucas’s most sought-after offshore game fish.
Marlin are known for their powerful runs, speed, endurance, and challenging fights.
Each encounter presents a different experience for the anglers and crew, requiring coordination and careful fish handling.
Captain Luis and the Blue Sky crew completed three successful marlin catches during the charter.
Every marlin was released.
Blue Sky Cabo releases all marlin as part of its commitment to responsible billfish conservation around Baja California Sur.
The three releases gave the charter a 100% billfish release rate.
Cabo Fishing Charter – Dorado Adds Another Species
In addition to the marlin action, the group caught one dorado.
Also known as mahi mahi, dorado are recognized for their brilliant gold, green, and blue coloration.
Their aggressive feeding behavior and energetic fighting style make them popular among anglers visiting Cabo San Lucas.
Dorado are also highly regarded for their excellent table quality.
For Howard, Mark, Chris, Matt, and Maya, the additional dorado catch provided variety during an already successful morning offshore.
The combination of three marlin and one dorado brought the charter’s total to four game fish across two species.

Cabo Sportfishing Charter – Fishing Without a Tournament Dredge
Howard’s booking included a discussion about the tournament dredge system, but the group did not use this equipment during their charter.
The Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device is specialized equipment designed to create the appearance of schooling baitfish behind a moving sportfishing vessel.
It can be an effective visual attraction when targeting offshore predators.
However, productive fishing is also possible without a tournament dredge.
Captain Luis and the Blue Sky crew completed three marlin catches and one dorado catch during this six-hour outing without using the system.
The results demonstrated the range of fishing opportunities available through different offshore techniques.

The booking was paid in full, and the group had also purchased shirts before their charter.

- Five guests aboard the private 43-foot Riviera
