Pelican Sportfishing

Member since February 2019 San Diego, United States
Background
Captain Shaun was born and raised in San Diego, California. His love for fishing began at the age of 5 when his dad would take him to Chollas Lake and Lake Jennings almost every weekend. When he was about 10 years old, Captain Shaun's uncle bought a sportfisher and once they started saltwater fishing, the captain never looked back. After witnessing his father fight brain cancer for 17 months before ultimately passing in 2018, and his uncle passing a few years before, Captain Shaun was reminded that life is short and should be spent doing what you love and are passionate about. He decided to finally take the leap he had been wanting to for so long and obtained his 6-Pack Captain's License. The captain also owns and operates Advanced Wiring Services since 2011. He has over 15 years in marine and auto electrical and mechanical experience, making him extremely boat savvy. He's happily married and has one son that he can't wait to teach to fish!
Techniques
When inshore fishing, Captain Shaun likes to find structures and do live bait and squid drifts. Live bait works the best for trophies and squid for Rockfish. Also at the same time have another angler jigging the bottom with lures. The captain likes to have a mix going to see what is working best for the day. He has his common go-to spots. When offshore fishing, Captain Shaun likes to get out in the general zone and then put out the 4 trolling rods. One for each angler. While trolling, he looks for birds, patties, and any signs of life. Once you find fish or a fishy area, you'll fish with live bait. The captain also throws scoops of live bait out into the water to attract the fish. While doing that or depending on the situation, for example a Tuna boil, he likes to also have anglers casting jigs to the fish and catching them while retrieving. There are multiple styles to do when fishing and Captain Shaun is always geared for all situations.
