With three service levels to choose from, you'll find the perfect setup for your hunting style and budget.

Trip Overview

Picture this: You're hunkered down in a blind, the salty breeze tickling your face as the sun peeks over the horizon. Suddenly, the whistle of wings fills the air. That's the magic of duck hunting in the Texas coastal bend, and it's what Nauti Hookers Guide Service delivers. Captain Michael offers fully guided, semi-guided, and unguided transportation options, so you can tailor your hunt to your preferences. You'll be wading through the rich, shallow bays and secluded back lakes that waterfowl love. Morning hunts let you start your day with a bang, while evening hunts are perfect for those who like to sleep in (no judgment here). Just remember to bring your valid hunting license, and you're good to go.

Decoys, Dogs, and Ducks

If you're going fully or semi-guided, Captain Michael's got you covered with all the essential gear. We're talking decoys that'll fool even the wariest of mallards, a blind that'll keep you hidden better than a chameleon in a leaf pile, and maybe even a retriever that'll make you wonder why you ever bothered picking up your own birds. For the DIY crowd opting for unguided transportation, you'll need to bring your own gear. But hey, that's half the fun, right? Either way, you'll be set up in prime locations where the ducks just can't resist dropping in. And let's be real, there's nothing quite like the thrill of calling in a flock and watching them cup their wings as they commit to your spread.

Why Hunters Flock Here

The coastal bend of Texas isn't just a duck hunter's dream – it's the whole dang pillow. With its diverse habitat and strategic location along the Central Flyway, this area sees a smorgasbord of waterfowl species throughout the season. From puddle ducks like gadwalls and wigeons to diving ducks like redheads and scaup, there's always something new on the menu. And let's not forget the pintails – those long-necked beauties that make every hunter's heart skip a beat. The shallow, brackish waters create the perfect buffet for these birds, meaning you're in for some consistent action. Plus, with Captain Michael's local knowledge, you're not just shooting in the dark (well, unless it's an evening hunt, but you know what I mean).

Target Game Breakdown

Let's talk ducks, shall we? The coastal bend serves up a veritable duck soup of species. First up, we've got the gadwall. These "gray ducks" might not be the flashiest birds in the sky, but don't let that fool you. They're clever, fast, and make for some challenging shooting. Best of all, they're often abundant here, giving you plenty of chances to perfect your lead.

Next, keep your eyes peeled for northern pintails. These elegant ducks are like the supermodels of the waterfowl world – long-necked, sleek, and always stylish. Pintails are typically early migrants, so the early season is your best bet for bagging one of these trophies. They're wary birds, though, so stealth is key.

Don't overlook the American wigeon, affectionately known as "baldpates" thanks to their distinctive white forehead. These ducks are grass-eaters, which means they love the shallow, vegetated areas of the coastal bend. They're also known for their whistling call, earning them the nickname "whistle ducks" among hunters.

For diving duck enthusiasts, the redhead is king in these parts. These birds are partial to the bay waters and can often be found in large rafts. They're fast flyers and tough birds, making for an exciting hunt when they decide to commit to your spread. The Texas coast is a major wintering ground for redheads, so you've got a good chance of adding one to your strap.

Last but not least, we've got the ubiquitous mallard. While not as common here as in other parts of the country, greenheads do make appearances, especially during cold fronts. Bagging a big, beautiful mallard drake is always a highlight of any hunt, so keep your eyes on the skies for that telltale green head.
