September 19 produced an exceptional billfish result for six anglers aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky, with five marlin caught and successfully released during an eight-hour private charter. Mike, Myra, Al, Rhonda, Richard and Laura arrived with an ambitious wish list that included marlin, sailfish, wahoo, mahi-mahi and tuna. On this particular day, the marlin became the story.
The group fished from 6:00 AM until 2:00 PM, giving the crew a full offshore window to search for productive water and develop opportunities. A dredge was included in the program, adding another layer to the boat’s trolling presentation.

Five Marlin Make This a Memorable Day of Fishing in Cabo
- Catching one marlin can define an offshore fishing trip. Creating five separate marlin catches during a single eight-hour charter changes the character of the day completely.
- It requires the anglers and crew to reset after each encounter and prepare for another opportunity. Lines have to return to the water, presentations must be organized, and everyone aboard needs to remain attentive because the next fish can appear without much warning.
- For a six-person group, repeated billfish encounters also create an especially enjoyable team experience. There is activity throughout the cockpit as anglers watch the spread, help one another and wait for the next opportunity.
- The result was exactly the type of action Mike had hoped to encounter when marlin was included on the group’s original species wish list.

Dredge Fishing Adds Another Dimension to the Cabo Spread
- A dredge was part of the fishing program for this charter. Rather than functioning as a hooked bait, a properly presented dredge creates the visual impression of a concentrated group of baitfish moving behind the boat.
- That additional activity can help draw the attention of offshore predators and bring curious billfish closer to the working spread. Once a marlin approaches, the crew can react to how the fish behaves and work to convert that interest into a strike.
- It is a hands-on style of offshore fishing. Crew members are constantly observing the water behind the boat rather than simply waiting for a rod to bend.
- Five released marlin made the final result particularly satisfying and demonstrated why remaining prepared throughout a full-day charter matters.
Catch-and-Release Marlin Fishing in Cabo San Lucas
Every marlin caught aboard Blue Sky was released. Blue Sky Cabo practices catch and release for marlin, allowing anglers to enjoy the excitement of pursuing these billfish while returning them to the ocean. The group’s result also provides a useful example of why an eight-hour charter can be valuable for anglers specifically interested in offshore species. More fishing time provides the crew with greater flexibility to search, respond to changing activity and continue working after an early encounter.
It does not guarantee a particular catch, because offshore fishing never works that way, but on September 19 the extended fishing window produced an outstanding five-marlin day.
A Five-Marlin Cabo Fishing Experience
Mike, Myra, Al, Rhonda, Richard and Laura began the morning interested in several of Cabo’s major offshore species. By the end of their charter, one species had clearly taken center stage. Five marlin were caught. Five were released. No marlin were retained. That simple result tells the story of an action-filled September day aboard the 43-foot Blue Sky and gives the group five separate billfish encounters to remember.
For Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours, it was another example of why September can deliver memorable offshore fishing experiences around Cabo San Lucas.
