Enjoy a day on the water with Capt. Brian Thomason, in his new 28’ Sportsman 282 TE, named Second Chance. He will always try his best to provide a top-notch light tackle fishing charter.

Fishing is his passion, and he truly enjoys his time spent on the water finding fish for his clients. He’s always willing to teach and go the extra mile to make sure that every trip is a memorable one. This area is blessed with one of the best fisheries on the East Coast, with many opportunities throughout the year for Striped Bass, Redfish, Cobia, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and Speckled Trout.

Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Children are welcome aboard. The captain will provide fishing licenses and all the necessary gear. It’s always a good idea to bring snacks, drinks, sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses.

The Second Chance is the perfect fishing machine with the best of electronics, a 1/2 tower for sight fishing, trolling motor for shallow water fishing, or spot locking over a structure. It also has plenty of comfort for family trips, including a toilet on board.

Brian is a co-captain of Thomason Tradition Sport Fishing, and always dreamed of being excited to go to work every day. Now that has become a reality since joining his son’s company and becoming a light tackle charter captain!

Target species change with the season from chasing the migrating giant Stripers, fishing the huge Red Drum schools, jigging the schooled-up Stripers in the fall, or summertime shallow water fishing. You will not find a harder-working captain who will always focus on making sure it is an enjoyable trip!

This is the boat and captain to take out
5 hour Trip – Light Tackle on June 8, 20253 adults
We went out as a group of three and had the time of our lives. Captain Brian is a great friendly local guy who works his butt off to find you fish. He got us on the fish, and we caught a bunch of rockfish. Unfortunately most were too big or slightly too small to keep and we fell 1 short of our limit. That being said it was better to have action and fun than it was to keep 1 additional fish. His boat is state of the art and was very comfortable to ride in on a choppy day. He was very flexible with scheduling and worked around spotty weather. I can’t speak highly enough of him and can’t wait to go out again with him.

Great Experience
5 hour Trip – Light Tackle on July 28, 20251 adult
Cpt Brian works hard to get fish and to make it a great experience. He stayed out past the scheduled 5hr trip to get me onto some red rum and I was able to catch my first red drum. He's very personable and strives to give the best experience he can.

We had such a great experience with Brian. He tried to get us on some Drum but we just missed them. Everyone caught a lot of Blur fish even our 6yr old. It was the perfect evening. A lot of great memories

Great evening on the water..
Working mans special on June 6, 20253 adults
Captain Brian was top notch. We were out only 4 hours and caught our limit in rock bass. Had a great time on the water. The boat was clean and in excellent condition. I'm ready for round 2...
