About Your Trip

If you're looking for a top-tier duck hunt, look no further than Reyes' operation in El Campo, TX. On this trip, you'll target Blue and Green-Winged Teal, which are a blast to shoot and have an exclusive September season.

A full breakfast will be supplied before you are ferried out in UTV's to your respective duck blinds, and set up with Reyes (or one of his professional guides) for the morning hunt.

Reyes has a number of setups across his property and cycles through them depending on where the ducks are. Needless to say, he'll make sure you're in the right spot.

Worried about bringing the kids? If this is their first time hunting, don’t hesitate. Reyes loves introducing new hunters to the sport and it is his philosophy that introducing our youth to the outdoors will ensure the future of our wildlife. It will also teach them the correct way to stay safe and be responsible hunters!

About Your Guide

Reyes P.

Independent Guide

Captain Reyes is based out of Palacios and knows the area like the back of his hand. He has years of experience in the bays and flats around Palacios, all the way from Tres Palacios Bay to Matagorda Bay. If you're in the area, he'll get you some fish or put you on the ducks, whatever you're looking for!

His arsenal includes soft paddle tails, top waters, submersible baits, and soaked live bait. He fishes reefs, sand flats, grass flats, mud with mixed shells, and offshore well pads.

Captain Reyes' love for fishing and hunting and being on the water led him to this career. He is eager to pass on his knowledge and to give guests a great experience!

Captain Reyes did an outstanding job. My son and I had planned to meet him in Matagorda and fish East Matagorda Bay. A few days before the trip, he texted suggesting that we meet him in Palacios and fish West Matagorda Bay because he’d had several days of good catches there. We agreed and had a great day on the water. We caught our limit of speckled trout and had a good haul of black...

Never use Captain Experiences for booking a fishing trip. They keep a huge sum of money up front-- money that I would prefer to go those who actually do the work- the fishing guide.
