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!

Captain Brian put the work in!
5 hour Trip – Light Tackle on July 9, 20263 adults2 children

The fish were not cooperating at first, but Captain Brian put the work in to get us on some good blues! Big one too! Took 3 teenagers with us on the trip and they all had a blast! Thanks for the memorable experience Captain Brian!

Fun way to spend the day!
5 hour Trip – Light Tackle on July 3, 20266 adults

We went fishing in the midst of a heat wave so unfortunately only had two bites and one catch. It was a huge fish, so that made it special! Captain Brian was super friendly and enjoyable to spend the day with. Highly recommend!

Best way to kickoff Fathers Day Weekend
4 hour afternoon sunset trip on June 20, 20264 adults

We had the best time kicking off Fathers Day weekend with Captian Brian. His boat was very nice and clean and he really went above and beyond taking us around to get some fish. I would highly recommend going with Captain Brian for your next trip, we are already planning to go with him for our next charter in the fall!

Great Day of Fishing
Bottom fishing on June 1, 20262 adults1 child

Fish were a little uncooperative but at no fault of the captain. He was great and we got into them and bagged our limit. Awesome with kids and very patient. We absolutely loved spending the day out there and had so much fun.
