Craig YortFlorida, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedNEWThe best day on the water!
6 Hour Trip — Coastline (AM) • 2 adultsMy wife and I had the most amazing fishing trip with Captain Shaun Uyeda. He is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we both had a blast. He kept us right on the action, and we ended up catching an incredible 13 different species of fish! Shaun even cleaned our catch so we could take it home for a fresh fish dinner that night. His boat is spotless, the energy was fantastic, and it was the perfect day out together. We cannot wait to book with him again!

6 Hour Trip — Coastline (AM) • 3 adultsTo say this trip was awesome is an understatement. Not only did we all catch fish but Captain Shaun made sure we all had a good time. First go I had a California Yellowtail on the hook and into the boat. My bro also had a Yellowtail on in no time. 3 of us went and we all had insane fish interaction. After awesome 10 minute fights each (and then some) we decided to try some rock fishing, which was a blast! Definitely nothing like it though when one of those California Yellowtails start pulling out your line! If we could redo the day and live it again we would in a heart beat. An amazing trip is now a lifelong memory. Thanks Capt Shaun, you kick ass!

5 Hour Trip — Winter Special • 5 adults • 1 childWe had an amazing fishing charter experience in San Diego with Captain Shaun! From start to finish, he was incredibly family friendly, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time, especially with our 12 year old. Captain Shaun is extremely knowledgeable about the area and knows exactly where to go to catch fish. Not only did we have success out on the water, but he also took the time to teach us new fishing techniques, which made the experience even more fun and memorable. He’s both professional and outgoing, creating the perfect balance of a relaxed, enjoyable trip while still running things smoothly and safely. I highly recommend booking with Captain Shaun if you’re in San Diego, you won’t be disappointed!
Robert PowellFlorida, US•Member since 20225.0VerifiedAmazing fishing trap out of San Diego!
6 Hour Trip — Coastline (AM) • 6 adultsShaun was a great captain and engaging from the start. We were fishing with my teenage son and his friends. Shaun kept them interested, engaged and excited from beginning to end. Answering all of our questions, keeping our lines full of bait and pulling off the 30+ fish that we caught. The boys loved it and can't wait to go back. I highly recommend Shaun and his boat had everything we needed for a successful day out on the water.

5 Hour Trip — Winter Special • 4 adults • 1 childHere’s a polished version you can copy into Google Reviews: --- Our family had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Pelican Sport Fishing and Captain Shaun Uyeda. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I took our 12- and 16-year-old sons out with Captain Shaun off the coast of La Jolla, and it could not have been a better day. We easily caught well over 100 fish, and the action was nonstop from start to finish. Captain Shaun’s knowledge of the area, the conditions, and the fish was truly impressive. He consistently put us on the fish, adjusted spots as needed, and explained everything in a way that made it fun and easy for the kids to learn. He was patient, encouraging, and genuinely excited to see our boys reeling them in one after another. The boat was clean, organized, and comfortable, and all the gear was top-notch and ready to go. You can tell Captain Shaun takes a lot of pride in what he does and really cares about giving families a memorable experience on the water. This trip was the highlight of our visit to La Jolla and a day our family will be talking about for a long time. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing charter with a captain who truly knows his craft and treats you like family, book with Pelican Sport Fishing and Captain Shaun Uyeda. Absolutely outstanding in every way.
