Three Dorado Put the Numbers on the Board During an Active Cabo Fishing Morning
The final morning of August produced steady offshore action for Blue Sky Cabo as Neil, Krystyna, Tomas and Lelys joined Captain Luis aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky for a five-hour Cabo fishing charter. The group departed at 6:00 AM and returned at 11:00 AM with three dorado successfully landed and one tuna lost, creating four legitimate game-fish opportunities during five hours on the Pacific. The catch was led by dorado, one of the most recognizable warm-water species encountered around Cabo San Lucas during late summer. Three fish made it aboard, while the tuna provided another quality hookup before being lost during the fight.
For a five-hour charter, the morning delivered both numbers and species variety without requiring an extended offshore day.
August 31 Cabo Fishing Catch Breakdown
- 3 dorado successfully landed
- 1 tuna hooked but lost
- 4 total game-fish encounters
- 75% landing rate on recorded hookups
- 2 different offshore species encountered
- 4 anglers aboard
- 5 hours of Cabo fishing
- 6:00 AM departure
- 11:00 AM return
- 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky
- Captain Luis
The lost tuna remains an important part of the report because offshore fishing success is not accurately represented by dockside catch numbers alone. A strong hookup that develops into a legitimate fight demonstrates the presence of another target species even when the fish ultimately wins.
Cabo Fishing Performance Grid
| PERFORMANCE CATEGORY | RESULT | TRIP RATING |
| Dorado Landed | 3 | Excellent |
| Tuna Opportunities | 1 | Strong |
| Total Game-Fish Encounters | 4 | Excellent |
| Species Encountered | 2 | Excellent |
| Landing Percentage | 75% | Strong |
| Fishing Time | 5 Hours | Productive |
| Anglers | 4 | Private Group |
The numbers demonstrate an efficient morning. Averaged across the five-hour charter, the group generated approximately one game-fish encounter every 75 minutes, while successfully putting three dorado aboard.
Dorado Fishing Adds Color and Speed to the Cabo Report
- Dorado are particularly well suited to the warm offshore environment surrounding the southern Baja Peninsula. Their combination of speed, aggressive feeding behavior and dramatic color makes them a favorite among visiting anglers.
- Once hooked, dorado can quickly turn a routine trolling pass into an active cockpit. Their tendency to jump, change direction and accelerate near the surface creates a very different fishing experience from the sustained power associated with tuna.
- Landing three gave the group a solid primary catch, but the additional tuna hookup added another dimension to the morning.
One Lost Tuna Adds to the Offshore Activity
- The tuna did not make it aboard, but it deserves to remain in the statistical record.
- Experienced anglers understand that losing fish is an unavoidable part of Cabo sport fishing. Hooks can pull, lines can break, fish can change direction unexpectedly, and powerful offshore species can exploit even small changes in pressure.
- What matters from a fishing-report perspective is that Captain Luis put the group in position to encounter tuna in addition to the dorado already landed.
- That produced two distinct pelagic opportunities during a relatively compact five-hour charter.
Late-August Cabo San Lucas Fishing Conditions
- Warm Pacific water remained a defining feature of Cabo fishing in August, with offshore temperatures approximately 86–88°F. Early air temperatures around 78°F increased toward 90°F as the morning progressed.
- Wind was light to moderate from the west-to-northwest, while offshore swell was approximately three to five feet with an estimated 12–15-second period. The longer spacing between primary swells provided a more rolling ocean pattern than tightly grouped short-period waves.
- The moon was in its waning gibbous phase as August transitioned toward September.
August 31 Offshore Conditions Grid
| CONDITION | LEVEL | FISHING CHARACTER |
| Water Temperature | 86–88°F | Warm Summer Water |
| Morning Air | Approx. 78°F | Comfortable Departure |
| Daytime Air | Toward 90°F | Hot Baja Morning |
| Wind | Light–Moderate W–NW | Manageable |
| Swell | 3–5 Feet | Moderate |
| Swell Period | 12–15 Seconds | Longer Spacing |
| Moon | Waning Gibbous | Late Lunar Cycle |
Five Hours, Four Game-Fish Opportunities
For Neil, Krystyna, Tomas and Lelys, the value of this Cabo San Lucas fishing charter can be summarized through a compact set of numbers: five hours, four anglers, four game-fish encounters, three dorado landed and one tuna lost. Captain Luis and the Blue Sky crew generated action from two important late-summer species without needing to extend the charter beyond its scheduled 11:00 AM return. That balance of landed fish and additional opportunity provides a realistic picture of offshore fishing. Not every hookup ends beside the boat, and a report that includes lost fish gives future anglers a more complete understanding of what happened during the trip.
August 31 therefore closed with a productive Cabo fishing report built around warm water, multiple hookups and steady offshore opportunity aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky.
