About Your Trip

South Texas is perfectly situated for epic waterfowl hunting. Located smack in the middle of the Central Flyway, the area is an annual stopover for millions of ducks, who come to rest in the protected bays and inshore waters while they migrate.

Species here include Green-Winged and Blue-Winged Teals, Cinnamon Teals, Wigeons, Redheads, Pintails, Gadwalls, and Mottled Ducks—all of which are a blast to shoot and good eating as well.

On this trip, your outfitter, Terry, will make sure to put you in the perfect spot to nail some inbound waterfowl. He'll provide the blinds and decoys, so all you need to bring is your waders, your guns, and your shells. You'll get out there before dawn, and hunt until 11 o'clock, so you can even be home for lunch!

If you have wingshooting experience, this is a perfect chance to hit your limit! If you're still new to the sport, this is a great way to improve your skills alongside a top-notch guide. Get out there and see what the Texas coast has to offer!

About Your Guide

Terry G.

Independent Guide 10 years of exp.

Captain Terry has been involved in/with the great outdoors since the moment he was introduced into this world. At an extremely young age, his father placed a fishing rod into his hands and began passing on the critical skills that would later create a patient, persistent, successful young man. By the age of sixteen, Terry’s waterfowl hunting obsession took hold and drove him to make his first boat faster! As this love for the water grew so did his experience which eventually led to mastering the art of the hunt.
That accomplishment brought forward a desire to share his outdoor adventures with the world and in 2015 he started the brand and his charter business with a primary goal of having fun in the outdoors. Today he happily calls Matagorda Bay home and is blessed to be surrounded by a phenomenal network of men & women that are some Texas’s BEST!

Terry was a good captain very nice and polite but we had booked a gigging trip on the site and when terry called to confirmed our trip I told him how excited we were to gig for flounder. But I don’t think it registered with him because he said it’s going to be a great time. If you want to book a fishing trip on rod and reel do it in the morning.

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hi Allen - I'm glad to hear that you liked Captain Terry. I do see in the notes on your trip listing you mentioned you were looking forward to gigging for flounder. I'm sorry that note was overlooked. Unfortunately, Captain Terry doesn't offer gigging trips, but please give us a call and we can get you set up on one in the area!

Terry was by far the best guide we’ve had in Matagorda! It’s obvious he knows the bay & where the fish are, in addition to being very personable and attentive to our team. A++++
