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!

Michael Chucci5.0VerifiedNewCaptain Brian was great helping my 5 year old son.
Bottom fishing on October 24, 2026 • 4 adultsFirst time taking my 5 year old out on charter. The currant had the fishing off the day we went but the captain kept us moving and searching for keepers. He kept us out longer to make sure we got to take some fish home. He was excellent at setting up and helping my 5 year old catch a lot of smaller strippers why the bigger ones were not hitting. Definitely would book again.

5 hour Trip – Light Tackle on July 3, 2026 • 6 adultsWe 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!
Devon Williams5.0VerifiedGreat Day of Fishing
Bottom fishing on June 1, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childFish 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.
