I'll moving down to Corpus Christi for a job come mid-December and I plan on bringing my gear and dog to do some duck hunting down there. Was wondering if anyone could help me understand where it is legal to hunt down there. From what I understand, Baffin Bay and Laguna Madre are open for hunting? No need to name spots, just want to know the boundaries. Also what kind of ducks are everyone shooting down there. I only have a bag full of pintail, teal and redhead decoys. I'll be fairly new to the area so if anyone wants to grab a few beers and talk hunting or fishing and pass on some wisdom, let me know, I'll get the first round.

I'm still pretty new to the area but I've learned a lot between a little hunting & a lot of scouting/research/tips from guys on here. I pm'ed you my number, gimme a call/text sometime. I'm always down to talk birds

Just sent you a pm as well. Not new to duck hunting but new to hunting The famous Laguna Madre. Cant wait for the second split! Ill be starting then! Woohoo!

1000 ft from the road start whackin. Stay away from the national seashore and your pretty much good to go

I've yet to hunt the coast, but there were some previous threads up on this topic.

From what I read there are blinds folks built in open water. Because its in public water no one has real ownership of them, so its first come first serve. You just need to be prepared to deal with who ever shows up. The problem is going to be some folks are going to feel since they built it, its theirs no questions asked.

Here is one of the threads I was talking about:

And here is the area of GLO I'd look into:
