Marlin Action During a Cabo Offshore Charter

October 16, 2026, delivered another successful marlin release for Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters when Tristan, Ben, and Justin, a group from the Kansas City area, boarded the 50-foot Viking Blue Ocean for a six-hour private fishing excursion.

Departing at 6:30 AM, the three intermediate anglers headed into the Pacific waters south of Cabo San Lucas. Approximately four miles south of the famous Arch, a marlin struck a small pink feather lure, providing the group's memorable offshore fishing encounter.

The marlin was successfully caught and released before the yacht returned to the marina at 12:30 PM.

Pink Feather Lure Success in Cabo Waters

The successful lure was a small pink feather, demonstrating how a relatively simple trolling presentation can attract a powerful offshore game fish.

The Viking Blue Ocean also carried dredge teaser equipment, which is commonly used to imitate schooling baitfish and attract offshore predators.

While the dredge was available during this charter, the confirmed successful presentation was the small pink feather lure.

The marlin species was not recorded, so the official fishing result remains one marlin caught and released.

October Fishing Opportunities Around Cabo

October brings seasonal opportunities for marlin, dorado, yellowfin tuna, and other offshore species throughout the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas.

The fishing grounds south of Land's End are especially convenient for private sportfishing charters because productive Pacific waters can be reached relatively close to the marina.

For Tristan, Ben, and Justin, their October 16 fishing adventure produced one successful marlin release during six hours aboard the 50-foot Viking Blue Ocean.

Private Cabo Charter Fishing Adventures

Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters operates a fleet of private sportfishing yachts ranging from 32 to 60 feet, offering offshore fishing experiences for beginners, intermediate anglers, and experienced fishermen.
