Experience Trophy Light Tackle Fishing with Captain Drey Thomason in Maryland & Virginia

Captain Drey Thomason is the proud Owner of Thomason Tradition Sport Fishing. As a licensed USCG captain, I specialize in light tackle charters for Maryland and Virginia's trophy fish. My 2022 Pair Marine 24Mv boat, powered by a Suzuki 300, ensures a top-notch fishing experience. Having dedicated most of my life to fishing the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, light tackle fishing has always been my preferred method.

Throughout the year, I use light tackle gear and artificial lures in my quest for various species in the third-largest estuary in the world. The Chesapeake Bay boasts exceptional opportunities for light tackle fishing in every season. During spring and summer, indulge in our renowned light tackle Striped Bass shallow water expeditions. Additionally, our bay is home to one of the nation's finest Red Drum fisheries. Red Drum, known for their exceptional strength, provide an exhilarating sport fishing experience.

Thanks to my custom tower, we have an advantage when it comes to spotting big red drum, cobia, and even large striped bass. Capt. Drey devotes significant time and effort to tracking the patterns of these magnificent fish as they migrate. Whether you seek the fish of a lifetime or a memorable day out on the bay with loved ones, trust Capt. Drey and his state-of-the-art Pair Marine boat to deliver the ultimate guided fishing trip tailored to your preferences. All skill levels and ages are welcome aboard!

Let's embark on a fishing adventure together!
