About Your Trip

If you're a duck hunter looking to shoot with one of South Texas' best outfitters, you're in the right place. Brandon is an expert hunter and a great guide who will put you in the right place to bring down some waterfowl on Matagorda Bay!

Every year, hundreds of thousands of waterfowl stop over in South Texas during their annual migration. The species you can target here are numerous, including Wigeons, Mottled Ducks, Pintails, Redheads, Teals, Gadwalls, Shovelers, Mergansers, Scaup and Black Bellys!

You can opt for either a morning or afternoon trip, or go all day! If you choose to get out there in the morning, you'll arrive an hour and a half before sunrise and get ready to go. Brandon will get you out to the hunting areas by first light, and then it's time to start shooting! On an afternoon trip, you'll arrive before noon to get set up, and then motor out to the blinds aboard Brandon's 21' Shoalwater bay boat, which is equipped with a 250-HP Yamaha outboard.

Brandon will provide you with the blind and all the decoys, and just asks that you bring your own waders, guns, ammunition (non-toxic shot only), and a good attitude. The ducks are already on their way—what are you waiting for?!

Captain Brandon and his crew offer a variety of Matagorda fishing charters for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and more, as well as hunting trips for ducks in the fall and winter months.

Fishing West Matagorda Bay, Espiritu Santo Bay, and San Antonio Bay, they'll run out to wherever the fish are biting, which usually isn't far from the famous fishing town of Port O'Connor, Texas. Fly around on Captain Brandon's 2014 21' Shoalwater flats boat, equipped with GPS and fishfinders, a livewell to keep live bait fresh, and top quality tackle.

Captain Brandon has been guiding the waters around Port O’Conner for years, and has been fishing his entire life. Don't forget a cooler for a little catch and cook, and have a blast fishing out of historic Port O'Connor!

Fill in date, party size, trip duration, and start time above to book and get out there with Captain Brandon and Captain Experiences!
