About Your Trip
While Florida Gulf duck hunts may not be 100% conistent, there are some extremely interesting ducks, trophy hunters can target to knock off their bucket list like Black Bellied Whistling duck! Since duck hunting can be slightly unpredictable on Florida's Gulf coast, Captain Leighton offers this trip in conjunction with a fishing trip, that way if the morning hunt is unsuccessful, you can shed a layer of camo and crank the motor to find redfish
on the fly or light tackle!
Hunters, gear up and bring your own camouflage, shotguns, steel shot, hunting licenses, and Federal Duck Stamps to embark on this thrilling journey. Don't worry if you need some extras – Captain Leighton has got you covered with 20-gauge shotguns and additional steel shot available upon request.
Sit back, relax, and let Captain Leighton take care of the details as you hunt from the comfort of his well-equipped boat, positioned strategically over decoy spreads. With his keen eye and knowledge of the area, he'll lead you to the prime spots, ensuring an abundant harvest of waterfowl.
Worried about retrieving birds or maneuvering the boat? Fear not! Captain Leighton provides full-service assistance, retrieving the birds for you, so you can focus solely on the thrill of the hunt.
For those looking to maximize their hunting experience, Captain Leighton offers an optional extra limit package, where he brings a gun along as well to hunt with you, providing an additional bag limit for the group to take home.
Prepare for an early start, as hunts kick off 30 minutes before light. Arrive at the boat ramp at least an hour before sunrise, ensuring you don't miss a moment of the action. With hunts typically concluding around 9:30 AM, you'll have plenty of time left in the day to relish in your hunting triumphs or explore the wonders of Charlotte Harbor.
So, if you're seeking an exceptional waterfowl hunting experience filled with camaraderie, challenge, and unforgettable memories, Captain Leighton's Duck Hunts in Charlotte Harbor is your ultimate destination.
