The Business

Break Water Tours is a fishing adventure company that strives to bring you the perfect fishing trip for both the experienced angler or the casual family outing.

A Passion

My passion for the sport has given me the confidence and desire to start this business. Every year that passes, the expectations of my clientele reaches higher levels requiring the development of new and exciting trips. I have specialized in teaching fishing to my clients at many different skill levels. I give fly-fishing lessons year round to help novice and expert anglers learn the sport. I work with countless guests to develop their skill level year after year to give them the confidence to take world-class fishing trips. I will help to show you local fishing opportunities or how to travel to amazing fishing destinations.

I have spent many years on some of the most amazing lakes and beaches you will ever have the opportunity to visit. As an employee of the Alisal Guest Ranch, I am privileged to provide professional fly-fishing and traditional fishing outings to the ranch guests since April 2001. I am an Orvis endorsed guide, part of an elite team of guides brought together to be the best outdoors men and woman in the country or even the world. I have spent years giving fishing trips on the central coast. Bass fishing trips at lake Cachuma and surf fishing trips on the beaches of the central coast. Most of the surf fishing trips are on the beatifull beaches of Santa Barbara. I provide a service to my cilents to set them up to take world class fishing trips all over the world. Top all this off with my hosted trips to amazing destinations.

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 California. I just enjoyed taking people fishing and did not realize that it was the start of my career and business. 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.

I look forward to working with all of you!

Jason Grupp
