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.

Meet the Business Owner: Jason G.
I began developing my fishing skills when I was a child. With the support of my family and a bass boat in the pool delivered by Santa for Christmas one year. I was guiding by high school on a private lake in Orange County. I just enjoyed taking people fishing and did not realize that it was the start of my career. I fished and guided all over the state through college. I became an Orvis endorsed guide in 2005. I placed 2nd in the "Orvis Endorsed Guide Olympics Casting Competition" in Wyoming in 2007. I have done some tournament fishing, but my true passion is to guide.
I now live with my wife and two children in the town of Solvang in the Santa Ynez Valley California.
