Knowledgeable captains that work hard to find their customers fish! Tackle is well maintained and the fishing platform is superb. As a mate for over 40 years, I recommend them highly!

Top notch charter captain! Had a blast fishing with Thomason Tradition Sport Fishing and will definitely be back again. Captain Drey not only has the drive, but also the knowledge to put you on some great fish. Don’t hesitate to book with him!

Had a blast with Capt Drey. highly recommend.. I have been on a few charters and this is by far the best value and probably the most fun I have had out, at least in a very long time. thanks for putting us on the fish!

Captain Drey is the best!! He always finds the fish.
June 24, 2025
Captain Drey is an excellent fishing guide. He asked before our trip what kind of fishing we were interested in and designed the fishing around our preferences. Since we were not familiar with catching the huge redfish we were targeting, he made sure we understood how to attract them and what to expect when we hooked one. When we did get one on the line, he helped get the fish to the boat by offering clear advice throughout the 15-minute flight. He was very careful with his handling of the fish and made sure that all of those we were releasing were fully revived. Most importantly, Captain Drey made clear that the trip was about having fun and he made sure of that by putting us on huge numbers of fish, including some giants (50-inch redfish, 40-inch cobia, too many rockfish and blues to count). I’d recommend him without any reservation and plan to hit the water again with him soon.

Thank you Drey for an awesome fishing experience. You showed patience with me (a beginner) & with 3 teenage boys. You were helpful & knowledgeable. You’ve left us with a great memory. My son is already asking to go again.
