With colder weather in northern states, the ducks are showing up here in South Texas. Today, I spent a couple of hours at one spot watching flock after flock fly by, and I got really excited. Our season opens back up for the second split on December 14. Since we already have ducks everywhere, January should be phenomenal for anyone wanting to come to Texas to shoot stud, pintails, and beautiful redheads, buffalo heads, and blue bills.

Fishing has been great! We've been experiencing upper slot and oversized red fish and trout! Throwing popping cork and shrimp/artificial shrimp has proved to be the key. Fishing conditions have been nice with 65-80 degrees. And okay winds 👍🏽 We are drift fishing for the reds and trout and channel...

Trip: Laguna Half Day Run
★★★★★
We had the most wonderful experience with Captain Marc (and Brenda). My son and I went on a half-day excursion in Novemeber during our Thanksgiving trip and it was such a great bonding time for the two of us. Captain Marc is super generous, knowledgable and patient. We highly recommend him and his fishing guidance:). My son was particularly excited about having his trout cleaned and getting to serve it to us that evening. All around A+.

We did a cast and blast trip with Glenn, and from start to finish it was an incredible experience. It was my first time duck hunting, and Glenn made the entire day feel effortless. He’s one of the most genuine, down to earth people you’ll meet, and he really knows his stuff. On the fishing side, he put us on the fish immediately. We limited out on trout, picked up some reds, and even caught a flounder we had to release. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip feel smooth and enjoyable. And the duck hunting… I haven’t had that much fun in a long time. It was relaxing, exciting, and just an unforgettable experience. The birds were on today, and we knocked down a limit within the first 10–15 minutes. I’d never seen so many ducks up close.. hearing them land and work the decoys was something I’ll never forget. The whole time, we felt guided, taken care of, and genuinely welcomed. We had great conversations, plenty of laughs, and just an all-around amazing time. Thanks again, Glenn. We’ll be seeing you again in a few weeks. 10/10 highly recommended.

Heck of a time with Jerrid! Friendly outgoing guy. Highly recommend him I promise you you’ll have a good time. He knew where to go even when fishing was hard at times. Still left with a bag of trout and an awesome sized red fish.
