Hunt Rundown

Your day starts early - we're talking before-the-roosters-crow early. Captain Michael will pick you up and shuttle you out to a prime hunting spot he's scouted. He'll get you all set up with top-notch gear - we're talking quality shotguns, ammo that packs a punch, and decoys that'll fool even the savviest of ducks. Once you're locked and loaded, Captain Michael will give you the lay of the land and some pro tips, then let you have at it. He'll swing back around to pick you up when time's up, and even take care of cleaning your birds so you can start dreaming up duck recipes on the ride home. Morning hunts are perfect for early risers, but if you're more of a night owl, evening hunts are on the menu too.

Swamp Smarts & Gear Talk

Rockport's marshes and coastal wetlands are a duck hunter's paradise, but they can be tricky to navigate if you don't know what you're doing. That's where Captain Michael's local know-how comes in clutch. He'll put you on the X where the birds are flying, whether that's in a cozy blind or hunkered down in some natural cover. You'll be working with layout boats, waders, and calls to bring those ducks in close. Pro tip: The weather out here can turn on a dime, so dress in layers and be ready for anything from a crisp morning to a muggy afternoon. Captain Michael's got the heavy lifting covered with guns and decoys, but if you've got a lucky duck call or a comfy pair of hunting boots, by all means, bring 'em along.

Target Birds Breakdown

Rockport is smack dab in the middle of the Central Flyway, which means you're in for some world-class waterfowl action. Here's a taste of what might end up on your strap:

Redheads: These diving ducks are the bread and butter of Rockport hunting. They're fast, they're feisty, and they're a blast to hunt. Redheads usually show up in big numbers from October through January, and they love to hang out in the shallow bays and lagoons. When these birds commit, it's a sight to behold - a whole flock banking hard and dropping into your spread.

Pintails: With their long, elegant necks and sharp-looking plumage, pintails are like the supermodels of the duck world. They're also smart as whips, which makes them a real trophy when you manage to outsmart one. Look for them early in the season, especially in freshwater marshes near the coast. Their whistling call is music to a hunter's ears.

Gadwalls: Don't let their plain Jane looks fool you - gadwalls are sneaky good eating and a ton of fun to hunt. These birds love to hang out in shallow ponds and flooded fields, and they're often mixed in with other species. They're not as flashy as some ducks, but when you see that distinctive white speculum in flight, you know you're in for a treat.

Green-winged Teal: These little speed demons are the F1 racecars of the duck world. They're small, lightning fast, and they'll test your shooting skills like no other. Green-wings usually show up in good numbers by mid-October and stick around through the winter. When a flock of teal comes zipping by your blind, it's hold-onto-your-hat time.

Why Hunters Keep Coming Back

Nauti Hookers has built up a solid rep among local and visiting hunters alike. Folks rave about Captain Michael's ability to put them on birds consistently, even when conditions are tough.

It's the best of both worlds for hunters who want a little help without feeling like they're on a guided tour.
