Capt Hunter Harwell and Guide Brandon Currie put groups on some solid fish and ducks today! Mild south winds made the weather hot but that didn't stop the ducks from flying or fish from biting! Both groups had solid fishing and decent duck shoots!

Well as im writing this, pintails, widgeons, shovelers and of course some redheads are getting settled in around our area. We have seen a huge push in birds since the front initially hit. Well after Christmas I had the opportunity to finally take my Stepdad on a cast and blast this weekend. This was the first time in 24 years he has been duck hunting and a blast he had. Started off by hitting the redheads Saturday morning, the groups couldn't have worked any better then they did.



Followed by a but whipping ill never forget. Now its not common for my wife to outfish me, very uncommon to outfish the whole boat. She down right put it on us. But all in all we were happy, 3 man limits of black drum and 3 solid redfish that well, has been devoured since then.





Also on Saturday we had Chad Hill and Austin Hill for a father son duck trip. Guide Brandon Currie reported early that they had teal buzzing the spread like crazy with minimal success. With them landing within 7 yards and flying right over your face right at LST its always a challenge. How ever when it got a little lighter it was on.



Saturday night we relaxed over a bacon wrapped axis backstrap grilled with some bacon wrapped jalepenos and duck breast. Hoping the winds would lay down before we hit it sunday. We awoke to higher winds and a empty boat ramp. After our safety meeting we loaded the boats and hit a small bay that's not too far from the boat ramp. Stopped at my first blind and someone had put decoys out the night before, so I did the respectful thing and kept going. You always have to have a back up plan. We showed up to our second spot and the work was on, We made a blind on a mangrove blind on a sandy bottom right off a point. Well the lighter it got the higher the winds got. And turns out the redheads and bluebills wanted to be in our little cove and out of the wind. Tony and Chase were on point with some fine wingshooting. We got our redheads with some bluebills ( that were on the boat before the pic idk why) and we were back at the ramp before 9:30 am to beat the upcoming rain.



Capt. Hunter Harwell said he was struggling as he had a couple of groups of people on both sides on him after they had already set everything up. They gave it a shot and had a slow time. With us being done early and still had some time before the rain hit I opted to go grab Hunters Group and put them in the blind I was in to get them some shooting in. After we got the groups situated I brought my group in and we got cleaned up, with in 30 minutes I had a phone call saying they were done with there redheads, crippled some buffleheads and was ready to come in. All before the rain hit.

We have been extremely busy over the holidays, whether it was hunting or doing family stuff! With this recent front we have seen a influx of birds but still lacking the puddle duck action! We're still grinding taking full redhead limits with some scaup and other ducks in the mix!

So this past week was the unofficial Texas hunting forum hunt! Guide Brandon Currie put his group on solid divers all 3 days with some bonus birds that included pintail and bluebills! The icing on the cake came when a single redhead drake came in and we had a client shoot one time and bam, ended up with a band!

Was told they had a great time at Wayne's house for the get together Saturday night as wel!

This past weekend was a extremely busy one for us! With this new front that pushed through we have been seeing a lot more puddlers then we have all season! We have shot full redhead limits on top of some fine pintails! Add some widgeons, gadwalls and some bluebills and we have been having some quality hunts!









My wife with a beautiful pair of redhead drakes!




Capt. Hunter Harwell had a unexpected visitor run through his spread yesterday!




This morning was nothing short of how a coastal hunt should go! On top of it being Capt! Hunter Harwell's birthday we shot trophy bull sprigs, big white top widgeons and some huge redhead drakes!

Well the closer was a bitter sweet ending for us! We have been non stop since the second opener and we were wore out! Saturday and Sunday were reminders that Mother Nature is and continues to be in charge as we lost nearly 2 ft of water over night! Literally switching game plans on the fly!

Earlier that week we had the pleasure of hosting Outiftter Billy Whitley and his crew from Rolling Bone Outfitters!

Wednesday we started with a crane hunt!





Thursday we started with shooting straps of ducks, with some trophy pintails and redheads!




And ended with some solid boxes of fish



Saturday we had the cross group and after settling for game plan c we had a decent shoot for red heads with some groups!



Sunday morning once again proved to be a brutal awakening with Mother Nature still not returning any of her water to our bay system! Ended up rescheduling our groups for next year!

Would like to thank everyone that chose us for there coastal waterfowl adventure and looking forward to next year already! Thanks for your business!

Winding down after a hard fought weekend with the fish. Although Saturday and Sunday were brutal with the northern that blew in, today however was a lot better. Had limits of redfish along with a few trout and black drum today.

Saturday was extremely tough as our plan was to run and gun. The redfish that we had previously been catching was non existent when the front was blowing in. How ever we managed a small box of reds and trout for the days catch.

Sunday was a little better. The redfish were starting to show back up after being blown out.

Today was great. The winds calmed down and the fish were hungry.

Our redfishing is heating up and ducks are starting to show. Seen my first group of pintails along with several wars of blues wings on the bay.

We are still booking for our upcoming waterfowl season!

Call 936-671-3407 or message for any info on a fishing, hunting or a cast and blast trip.

We have the second opener available

Won't last long
