Break Water Tours

Whether you are a newbie or a pro, Jason Grupp at Break Water Tours is the man to contact. Check out his web page to get all the fishing specific info. Jason, the person is knowledgable, helpful, communicates well, lots of patience, great teacher, and a real desire to help you have an excellent experience. I look forward to our next trip with him.

I found Jason’s business recommended on the Orvis web site. He has an excellent web site with rich information and great descriptions of possible fishing trips. Picking an individual for a guided fishing trip of the Internet is taking a chance. The well done web sites sets expectations for a great trip well.
The e-​mail communication to set up the trip was excellent. Jason is a great e-​mail communicator. He explained potential custom trips in detail. He explained what kind of fish to expect, what tide times are good etc.
We meet at a beach parking lot in South of Santa Barbara. He is friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. He was very well equipped with fishing rods, baits, tools, and everything. He explained the casting to us. He offered us the different fish to target on the beach and how to target them.
The place that he took us to had a school of surf perch. Almost every cast had a tuck of one of them. When we found the school head-​on, almost every cast turned into a catch. We kept a dozen or so for cooking and returned extra ones to the ocean.
He was very knowledgeable on any fishing topic. Particularly vividly remains in my memory the description for fishing shark at night from the shore. That seems to be a big experience.
In the end, Jason cleaned up the fish for us. He was very helpful and prepared for everything. He had a camera to take photos of our catch each time. He switched us to try different baits to target other fish species. He had fresh water and gutting station set up at his truck to clean the fish.
I highly recommend Break Water Tours.
