Guided by David Rappelet
Duck Flats Inshore
Captain David comes from a long line of fishermen. Born and raised fishing Louisiana waters, Captain David became a full time fisherman to share his experience with others to share the enjoyment of the fishing. David also uses his expertise in the area to guide duck hunts in the winter months.
Just south of Houston these days, Captain David knows the waters of the Galveston Bay Complex surrounding Baytown, Texas like the back of his hand. His trips are immediately accessible just south of Houston, and he looks forward to showing you around his home waters!

3 hunters, 6 shots fired at 1 duck that was way too far. Guide couldn’t put us within range to shoot, water was so low that I measured 90 yards from cover to waters edge in one spot, I have never been on a paid hunt where I never even fired a round. Guide stated had he known water was so low he would have cancelled the hunt. He did cancel the hunt he had scheduled the following day. We should have been givin a makeup hunt. …

Dave took my 8 year old son and I out and we had a great time! He did a good job putting us on some ducks despite less than ideal conditions and even less than ideal shooting by me! Already looking forward to getting back out with him later in the season. See you soon, Dave! -Joe D. …

I had an absolutely great experience on this trip! Dave went to great lengths to prepare for the trip and make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. He is a very experienced hunter and got me on a bunch of great shots. He’s got a great boat and access to a bunch of secluded spots. Despite hot weather during early season, we still bagged a few ducks and Dave cleaned them for me at the boat launch. Highly recommend! …

We had the best time with Captain David! He was so nice and fun to fish with. I had never saltwater fished and he was very patient with me. She showed me how to bait the hook and did it for me until I was comfortable doing it myself. No judgement. He was an all around good guy! Took us to several spots and put us in fish every spot. We caught black drum, croakers and red drum. He took me to his Hail Mary spot ( shhh it’s a secret). And I caught a 15 pound Red Drum. He helped me step by step land it into the boat. It was so much fun and he was as excited as I was. We saw a mama and her baby dolphin and he took me as close as he could to them so I could get some pictures because he knew I was excited to see them. On the way back to the pier he told us some history and info about the things we were seeing. I will definitely book with Captain David next time we go down there. …

Captain David was great. The weather and the tide was working hard against us and he worked harder to put us on fish. Great trip with a quality guide, I will be back.
