Jason Yost, owner and guide of Custom Tide Guide Service, is a true Virginia local with a lifelong passion for fishing. Born and raised in the area, Jason has spent most of his life exploring and mastering the local waters. With over 20 years of offshore fishing experience out of Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks, combined with a deep-rooted love for inshore fishing, Jason brings unmatched knowledge and enthusiasm to every trip he runs.


Today, Jason specializes in light tackle and fly fishing inshore, focusing on some of the most sought-after species in the region. Whether it’s redfish tailing in the shallows, sea trout cruising along the grass lines, striped bass making their seasonal runs, or the occasional appearance of tarpon, Jason knows where and how to find them. His passion for fishing is matched only by his passion for sharing it with others.


Jason runs a 17-foot flats boat, ideal for exploring the diverse fisheries of Virginia. His trips cover a wide range of waters — from the head of the James River to the Virginia Beach area, and as far north as Poquoson Flats and Oyster, VA. With a maximum of 2 guests per trip, anglers are guaranteed a personalized and hands-on experience tailored to their interests and skill level.


Every trip with Custom Tide Guide Service includes all the essentials: top-quality gear, tackle, ice, bottled water, and fishing licenses, so guests can relax and focus on the fishing. Jason offers trips ranging from 4 to 8 hours, allowing flexibility to fit any schedule, whether you’re looking for a quick morning outing or a full day on the water.


Known for his friendly approach, expert instruction, and deep respect for the local fishery, Jason takes pride in creating unforgettable experiences for anglers of all backgrounds. From sight-casting to redfish to watching a striped bass crush a fly, Jason is dedicated to helping his clients make the most of every moment on the water.


With Custom Tide Guide Service, guests don’t just go on a fishing trip — they experience the heart of Virginia’s inshore fishery with a passionate, knowledgeable local guide who’s eager to share his home waters and help create memories that will last a lifetime.
