Fishing & Waterfowl Report

Full day combination trips have been a specialty of ours for years and adjusting the itenerary in the best interests of our guests is all part of the game.  Capt. Donnie Heath called to tell me that clients were going to be fishing coming off of the morning duck hunt. With Redfish swimming in the decoys all morning it was a perfect opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.  Donnie said "as I was walking back to the boat I kicked a half dozen off the shoreline".  Sure enough it was the right call with guests from Colorado experiencing the thrill of big Texas Redfish.  

Duck hunting continues strong with vast stretches of northern tier States locking up in freezing weather. We've picked up a good number of fresh birds and that was just what we needed heading into the teeth of a very busy schedule.  Heavy straps of Teal, Gadwal, Pintail, Wigeon, Redheads, Black Jacks and some Bull Shoves continue to dominate.

Hog hunting continues strong for guests on Night Vision hunts over baited locations. Jeff B. and family took some nice ones back home on a recent trip and they are excellent on the table.
