  • Rockport is in the South Zone, we usually have a youth, veterans, and active duty military weekend in late October. The regular season will open up in November and run through January with a two-week break at the end of November.

  • This area of Texas, known as the Coastal Bend region, boasts abundant populations of ducks. Yet, it's the significant numbers of migrating Gadwall, Widgeon, Pintail, Redhead, and Teal that attract our duck hunting clientele annually. 

  • Yes, we provide "Cast-n-Blast" combos, complete full-day experiences. Typically, your day begins with a morning hunt, followed by a return to the dock for unloading, a satisfying lunch break, a change out of your waders, and then embarking on an afternoon fishing excursion. 

  • We suggest bringing GORE-TEX or neoprene waders, reliable wading boots, waterproof gloves, a cozy camo outer layer, and your preferred 12 or 20-gauge shotgun. Ensure you have 3” (#3 or #4 shot) non-toxic shotgun shells. 

  • We strictly adhere to all regulations set forth by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. To participate, ensure you have your Resident or Non-resident hunting license for Texas, along with the required Federal waterfowl stamp, both of which can be conveniently purchased on the Texas Parks & Wildlife website. Rest assured, our guides diligently ensure that all harvested wildlife remains within legal limits.
