October 8, 2026 – Three Marlin off Cabo San Lucas – Cabo Fishing Report
Three marlin caught and released highlighted an eight-hour Pacific fishing charter for Rick, a visiting angler from Waco, Texas, on October 8, 2026.
Fishing aboard the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky , Rick joined Captain Luis and the crew of Blue Sky Cabo Fishing Charters for a private offshore trip departing F Dock at IGY Marina at 6:00 AM.
The crew worked the Lighthouse (Cabo Falso) fishing grounds along the Pacific coastline west of Cabo San Lucas, returning to the marina at 2:00 PM with three marlin recorded.
Cabo Fishing Charter – Offshore Trolling at Cabo Falso
The Lighthouse is an established fishing area where Pacific currents and baitfish movement can create opportunities for marlin.
Although Cabo San Lucas offers access to distant banks, productive billfish fishing can also occur closer to shore when conditions are favorable.
Captain Luis and the crew used a Tournament Dredge – Fish Attraction Device as part of the trolling spread.
The dredge simulates a moving school of baitfish beneath the surface, helping draw the attention of marlin toward the fishing presentation.
Rick’s charter produced three marlin catches during the scheduled eight-hour outing.
All three fish were released. Individual species, weights, and lengths were not specified in the available catch information.

Cabo Fishing Charter – Three Billfish for One Angler
Rick had exclusive use of the 43-foot Riviera Blue Sky, allowing Captain Luis and the crew to concentrate on one angler’s fishing objectives.
The charter included the tournament dredge, lunch, and a complimentary company shirt.
The Lighthouse grounds produced the desired marlin action without requiring a long run to distant fishing banks.
For offshore anglers familiar with trolling for billfish along the Atlantic coast, the trip offers an example of how similar baitfish-attraction techniques are used in the Pacific waters of Cabo San Lucas.
