  "bio": "Captain Shaun Uyeda operates Pelican Sport Fishing as a year-round charter service out of Seaforth Marina in San Diego. His operation spans inshore kelp-bed fishing for halibut, lingcod, and rockfish, as well as offshore pelagic pursuits including yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, and blue marlin. Spring and summer bring yellowtail and tuna migrations, while fall intensifies offshore opportunities for larger tuna and dorado. Winter months shift focus to abundant inshore species around the Coronado Islands and deeper reefs. Uyeda accommodates all skill levels and runs trips year-round.",

  "fishingSeasonsNarrative": "My fishing year in San Diego is a dynamic pursuit of the ocean's bounty, dictated by the migrations and seasons of our incredible local species. We operate year-round, offering a diverse range of experiences from the inshore kelp beds to the vast offshore waters. The spring and summer months bring the exciting pelagic migrations, with yellowtail and tuna becoming the stars of the show. As summer progresses into fall, the offshore opportunities for larger tuna and dorado really heat up. The cooler months don't slow us down; they shift our focus to the abundant rockfish, lingcod, and halibut closer to shore and around the Coronado Islands, providing excellent action and delicious table fare.",
