October 10, 2023 – 30 Dorado Caught, 15 Kept and 15 Released – Cabo Fishing Report
October 10, 2023, delivered another remarkable day of offshore fishing for Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours, this time aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky.
Joseph and three additional guests reserved a six-hour private fishing charter departing F Dock at IGY Marina, Cabo San Lucas, at 8:45 AM.
With Captain Luis associated with the Blue Sky and a specialized dredge system included in the reservation, the group enjoyed an exceptionally productive October fishing outing.
The final record documented 30 dorado caught, 15 retained and 15 released, representing an even 50% catch-and-release distribution.
The charter returned at 2:45 PM, completing six hours on the water.
Joseph’s telephone area code, 409, is associated with southeastern Texas, including the Beaumont and Port Arthur region. This is a geographic association based on the telephone number, not a verified residence.
Although the reservation confirmed four passengers, Joseph was the only guest identified by first name in the available record.

October Cabo Fishing Charter Report – An Outstanding Day Offshore
A six-hour private fishing charter provides an opportunity to experience Cabo San Lucas offshore fishing without dedicating the entire day to the ocean.
Joseph’s group selected the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky, a larger sportfishing yacht offering a private experience for four passengers.
The reservation included specialized dredge equipment, which can be incorporated into an offshore trolling program to attract predators.
The October 10 result stands out for its substantial dorado activity during the available fishing window.
Rather than relying on an unusually long trip to reach distant fishing grounds, the group completed its charter within the scheduled six hours.
The exact location of the catches was not documented, so the fishing distance and specific offshore area cannot be established from the available record.
Dorado Cabo Fishing Report – October Mahi-Mahi Opportunities
Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi, are among the most recognizable game fish found in the offshore waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
Their vivid green, blue, and yellow coloration, aggressive feeding behavior, and energetic fights make them a favorite among visiting anglers.
October can be a particularly interesting period for dorado fishing around the southern Baja California peninsula.
These predators often follow baitfish concentrations and may gather near floating debris, productive current boundaries, and other offshore feeding areas.
Their movements can change rapidly as water conditions and available prey shift.
The historical charter demonstrates the fishing opportunities that can occur during favorable conditions.
However, one exceptional catch does not guarantee identical results on another date.
Dredge Cabo Fishing Charter Report – Specialized Offshore Equipment
Joseph’s reservation included a dredge system with a fishing guarantee.
A dredge is a specialized underwater teaser designed to resemble a concentrated school of baitfish.
When deployed as part of a trolling spread, it can create visual activity that attracts the attention of offshore predators.
Dredge systems require appropriate positioning, trolling speed, and crew coordination.
Several factors can influence their effectiveness:
- Baitfish activity: Concentrations of prey may attract dorado and other predators.
- Current boundaries: Changes in water movement can create productive feeding zones.
- Trolling speed: Proper speed helps maintain the intended underwater presentation.
- Teaser positioning: Dredges must be managed alongside other fishing equipment.
- Crew communication: Coordinated responses are important when fish approach the spread.
The original reservation confirms that dredge equipment was included, but does not establish the specific lure or bait responsible for individual catches.
Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Yacht Charter – The 43-Foot Riviera
The 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky is one of the larger private sportfishing vessels in the Blue Sky Cabo fleet.
For four guests, this yacht provides an alternative to smaller fishing boats while maintaining the privacy of an individually reserved charter.
The six-hour schedule allowed Joseph’s group to experience offshore fishing and return to IGY Marina during the afternoon.
Guests comparing private Cabo fishing charters should consider passenger count, desired fishing species, onboard comfort, and available fishing time.
Longer eight- or ten-hour reservations may offer additional flexibility to explore more distant fishing grounds or change areas when necessary.
However, a six-hour charter can be a practical option for visitors balancing fishing with other vacation activities.
Cabo Fishing Report – A Balanced Retention and Release Record
An important feature of this October 10 charter was the even division between retained and released fish.
Half of the documented catch was kept, while the other half was returned to the water.
Dorado are commonly targeted as a food fish in Cabo San Lucas, and eligible fish may be retained in accordance with applicable fishing regulations.
Guests can discuss their preferences regarding retention and catch-and-release with the captain and crew before departure.
The original record does not specify the weights of the fish, individual retention decisions, or how the kept fish were distributed.
The confirmed figures nevertheless provide a clear picture of the charter’s final catch-and-release outcome.
