October 12, 2023 – 2 Dorado Caught Aboard the 60-Foot Bertram Blue Sea – Cabo Fishing Report
A private five-hour fishing charter aboard the 60-foot Bertram Blue Sea produced two dorado for Brad and Rebecca, guests staying at Cabo Surf Hotel, on Thursday, October 12, 2023.
The couple booked their offshore fishing adventure with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charter and Tours, selecting one of the largest sportfishing yachts in the company’s fleet.
Under the direction of Captain Alex, the Blue Sea was scheduled to depart F Dock at IGY Marina, Cabo San Lucas, at 6:15 AM and return at 11:15 AM.
The charter included the company’s dredge fishing system, an offshore trolling presentation designed to imitate a concentration of baitfish and attract the attention of predatory game fish.
The final fishing record documented two dorado, also known as mahi-mahi.
For two anglers enjoying a Los Cabos vacation, the outing combined a large private sportfishing yacht, an experienced captain, and the opportunity to pursue one of October’s most recognizable offshore species.

Cabo Fishing Charter Report – A Private Morning Aboard the Blue Sea
Choosing a 60-foot sportfishing yacht for a two-person charter creates a different experience from booking a smaller fishing boat.
The Bertram Blue Sea offers substantial space for guests who prefer a larger private vessel while exploring offshore fishing opportunities around Cabo San Lucas.
Brad and Rebecca selected a five-hour morning excursion, allowing them to spend time fishing without committing their entire vacation day to the ocean.
Their scheduled departure of 6:15 AM placed the charter among the early morning sportfishing trips leaving IGY Marina.
Captain Alex was associated with the Blue Sea during the 2023 fishing season, bringing experience in offshore sportfishing around southern Baja California.
The original charter record does not identify the precise fishing grounds visited or the sequence of the catches.
However, the documented dorado result provides another historical example of October mahi-mahi activity around Cabo San Lucas.
October Dorado Fishing Report – Seasonal Mahi-Mahi Opportunities
Dorado are among the most colorful and energetic offshore game fish encountered in the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
Recognized for their brilliant green, gold, and blue coloration, these predators are admired for their powerful runs, aggressive feeding behavior, and exciting battles on fishing tackle.
October can provide opportunities for anglers pursuing mahi-mahi around the southern Baja California peninsula.
Dorado often associate with baitfish concentrations, floating debris, current boundaries, and productive offshore water.
Their movements depend on changing ocean conditions and the availability of food.
For recreational anglers, this means fishing opportunities can vary considerably between individual charters.
The October 12 Blue Sea outing documented a successful dorado encounter, although the original reservation does not identify the individual fish weights or whether the fish were retained.
Blue Sea Cabo Fishing Yacht Charter – Dredge Fishing Techniques
One notable feature of this reservation was the inclusion of the dredge fishing system.
A dredge is a specialized trolling teaser designed to resemble a moving school of baitfish beneath the ocean surface.
When deployed correctly, it can create a larger underwater visual target that may attract offshore predators toward the fishing spread.
Dredge presentations are commonly associated with offshore sportfishing techniques targeting billfish and other pelagic game fish.
Blue Sky Cabo uses specialized fishing equipment as part of its approach to offshore fishing.
For this particular charter, the reservation confirms that the dredge was included.
However, the historical record does not establish whether either dorado was caught directly because of the dredge presentation.
That distinction is important when accurately documenting fishing methods and results.
The presence of specialized equipment adds to the charter’s technical fishing capabilities, but no particular technique guarantees a catch.
Cabo Surf Hotel Fishing Charter – A Los Cabos Vacation Experience
Brad and Rebecca were staying at Cabo Surf Hotel, a boutique beachfront property in the San José del Cabo area.
The hotel’s location provides a different vacation setting from the busy marina district of Cabo San Lucas.
For visitors staying in San José del Cabo, a private fishing charter departing from IGY Marina requires planning transportation to Cabo San Lucas before the scheduled departure.
The Blue Sea was assigned to depart from F Dock, rather than from the hotel.
The guests’ telephone area codes were associated with two regions of the United States:
- South Carolina: Brad’s 803 telephone area code.
- Florida Panhandle: Rebecca’s 850 telephone area code.
These are telephone-number geographic associations, not verified residential locations.
For travelers staying outside Cabo San Lucas, confirming departure instructions and allowing sufficient travel time are important parts of preparing for an early morning charter.
Cabo Fishing Report – Choosing a 60-Foot Private Yacht
The Bertram Blue Sea represents the larger end of the Blue Sky Cabo sportfishing fleet.
For a two-person group, choosing a 60-foot yacht may reflect preferences for additional space, comfort, or a particular style of private fishing experience.
A five-hour reservation can be suitable for guests interested in a shorter offshore excursion, while longer charters may offer greater flexibility to explore distant fishing grounds.
The ideal trip duration depends on the target species, seasonal conditions, available fishing time, and individual guest preferences.
The October 12 reservation demonstrates that a large sportfishing yacht can also accommodate a small private group seeking a morning fishing adventure.
