About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Shaun and prepare for an action-packed day of inshore fishing in San Diego! The San Diego inshores are home to plenty of reefs and kelp beds that support a great fishery.

On this 6-hour trip, Captain Shaun will cruise you along San Diego’s pristine coastline to beautiful shallow waters in Point Loma, Mission Bay, and up to La Jolla. You'll be going after several exciting species such as Barracuda, Calico Bass, California Sheephead, Lingcod, Rockfish, Sculpin, Vermillion Snapper, and Yellowtail Amberjack. You'll be targeting these fish using light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing and trolling depending on what you want to do or what you want to catch. If you have a method or fish in mind, just let Captain Shaun know and he'll get you set up!

Captain Shaun fishes aboard a 30' Blackman Billfisher that can hold up to 4 guests. Powered by a 200 HP Volvo Penta engine , this vessel will have no problem traversing the beautiful San Diego coastline! She comes complete with GPS, Fishfinder, a Flybridge, Live Bait Well and an Ice Box to store your catches. Also on board is a Restroom, Bed, Kitchen, Refrigerator and Multimedia System to make you feel at home on your trip.

Captain Shaun will provide all rods, reels, bait, tackle, ice, small snacks and water. All you need to bring is a California Fishing License for 16 and older, as well as sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and any food or drinks you might want. There's a cooler provided on board to store your food and drinks. Book your trip today with Captain Shaun!

About Your Guide

Shaun U.

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.
