Cabo Fishing Report – October 26, 2026 – Sailfish Caught Near Cabo Lighthouse
35-Foot Blue Water Riviera Produces a Sailfish on Caballito Bait Three Miles Offshore
October fishing along the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas delivered another exciting billfish encounter on October 26, 2026, when Josh and his group of
five headed offshore aboard the 35-foot Blue Water Riviera with Blue Sky Cabo Fishing and Tours.
The charter was originally scheduled for September 26, but unfavorable weather required the trip to be postponed. When the group returned a month
later, they boarded the larger Riviera for a six-hour morning of offshore fishing.
The highlight came at 10:00 AM, when a sailfish struck a Caballito bait approximately three miles offshore from the Cabo San Lucas Lighthouse.
Cabo Fishing Aboard the 35-Foot Blue Water Riviera
The group departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM, heading toward the Pacific fishing grounds near Cabo Falso.
The 35-foot Blue Water Riviera is a private sportfishing vessel used for targeting billfish, yellowfin tuna, dorado, and other offshore species.
Its layout provides fishing space for small groups while allowing the crew to work trolling presentations behind the boat.

Sailfish Strikes Caballito Bait Near Cabo Lighthouse
Approximately four hours after departure, a sailfish attacked the Caballito bait being trolled behind Blue Water.
Caballito is a natural baitfish frequently used in Mexican offshore sportfishing. Its movement makes it an attractive presentation when targeting
sailfish and marlin.
The strike occurred approximately three miles offshore, demonstrating that productive billfish fishing can sometimes take place relatively close to
Cabo's coastline.
The sailfish provided the morning's main fishing action and was successfully caught and released.
Dredge Fishing Techniques in Cabo San Lucas
The October 26 charter also included a dredge fish-attraction system.
A dredge creates the appearance of a moving school of baitfish beneath the surface. When deployed alongside trolling baits, it adds visual activity
that may attract offshore predators.
Although the sailfish struck the Caballito bait, the dredge was part of the equipment used during the morning.
For anglers planning a Cabo fishing trip, the combination of natural bait, trolling techniques, and knowledge of local fishing grounds can be
important when pursuing billfish.
October Cabo Fishing and Historical Catch Reports
October offers opportunities for sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, and wahoo around southern Baja California.
Fishing success depends on changing ocean conditions, bait availability, and the movement of offshore species.
Rather than relying exclusively on seasonal predictions, anglers can examine documented catches from previous trips.
Blue Sky Cabo maintains a historical archive featuring fishing dates, vessels, species, and actual charter results.
