About Your Guide

Shaun Uyeda

Independent Guide 32 years of exp.
Captain Shaun was born and raised fishing San Diego. His love for fishing began when his dad took him to Chollas Lake and Lake Jennings almost every weekend for some freshwater fishing. At the age of 10, Captain Shaun's uncle bought a sport fisher boat and once he was introduced to saltwater fishing, he's never looked back!

After witnessing his father fight brain cancer for 17 months before ultimately passing in 2018, and after Captain Shaun's uncle passed a few years earlier, Captain Shaun was reminded that life is short and should be spent doing what you love.

With his passion for fishing and sharing these unforgettable experiences with others, Captain Shaun earned his 6-pack Captain's License and has been guiding others on the water ever since! Captain Shaun has over 15 years of experience on the water, is incredibly boat savvy, and runs a safe and family-friendly operation in sportfishing.

He looks forward to hosting your next day on the water for a bucket list experience you'll never forget!

Bobby was our captain and he treated myself, my son and my grandson like we owned the boat.
He was very professional and courteous and answered all our questions. He gave us choices which no other service has in the past. This was much appreciated and I plan on returning again.
