About Your Trip

If you are looking to hunt with one of the best outifts on the Texas coast you've found your group of guys with Gus and his outfit. Beyond expert guiding the area itself (Around South Padre Island) provide a unique opportunity to target a wide swath of Duck Species including Wigeons, Mottled Ducks, tons of Pintail, Redheads, Teal, Gadwalls, Shovelers, Mergansers, Scaup and Black Bellys!

Gus can take as many people as you'd like running shuttles out to his blinds between his two boats. He even offers to hunt 3 at a time from his own boat as well! In addition to his Carolina Skiff, he also runs a 18' Tracker Grizzly skiff with a Gator Tail mud motor and a 18' Polar Craft with a 50-HP Yamaha! Whatever boat you're on, you'll be kitted out for a sweet hunt.

Since the ducks often fly both in the morning and the afternoon, this trip can either start in the morning or the afternoon depending on your preference and what the ducks are doing of course!

Captain Gus and his team provide all the decoys, dogs, and professional calling and expert guiding for your hunt and ask that you bring your own guns, shells, and waders if you'd like to stay dry. He wil also provide a cooler with ice and water for you and encourages you to bring you own beverages of choice along as well.

About Your Guide

Gus M.

Independent Guide
Captin Gus has lived back and forth from Colorado to South Texas my entire life. His father moved to the island when Gus was a boy and taught him the ins and outs of the bay every summer throughout his childhood. Together they spent countless hours finding potholes full of trout and sand flats littered with redfish. His father instilled in him a fierce passion for the outdoors and planted the seeds for him to pursue a career chasing the critters he has come to love and respect.

With the help of some local legends including forty year veteran Capt. Skipper Ray, Gus has honed his skills as a fisherman and professional guide fishing the Lower Laguna Madre. But for him the bay still provides an incredible environment to learn and grow. Every day he finds new places to fish and duck hunt and he welcomes you to join him on one of these incredible adventures!

During the fall Captain Gus heads north to Crawford, Colorado to team up with the Homestead Ranch Crew to chase elk, deer, mountain lion, and bear. Homestead Ranch is an original homestead that the McLeods have maintained since 1914. Six generations of incredible preservation have built the hunting experience of a lifetime. He is truly honored to have been a part of this team for the last few years.
