About Your Trip

Experience the Ultimate Drop-Off Duck Hunt with Shayne in Corpus Christi! Let Captain Shayne take care of the scouting, decoys, and private blind preparations, so you can have a no-hassle hunting experience with your group.

Your Hunt, Your Way:
This is not a guided hunt; it's a drop-off duck hunting extravaganza that puts you in control. Shayne provides the decoy spread and private blind so you and your group can enjoy your own experience. Bring
your own guns, camouflage, dogs, duck calls, etc. You don't need to be an expert duck caller either, or bring one at all for that matter! Ducks on the Texas Coast will fly into your spread no matter what! The best duck hunters will tell you less calling is better anyhow!

Spectacular Waterfowl Variety:
Take aim at an impressive range of waterfowl, including Bufflehead, Green-Winged Teal, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler, Redhead, and Wigeon. It's a unique chance to test your skills against various species in the beautiful Texas wetlands.

Exclusive Drop-Off Service:
We've designed this experience to be all about the hunt. Shayne will pick you up and drop you off at a private blind, fully prepped and dog-ready. No distractions, no guides; just you, the ducks, and your hunting instincts.

Premium Decoys Included:
No need to worry about gear. We've got that covered, too. We'll provide you with high-quality decoys to set up the perfect hunting scene, so you can focus on what you do best – hunting ducks.

This isn't your typical guided hunt – it's an opportunity for self-reliant hunters to test their skills in the wild with all the essential support provided. Limited slots are available, so book your drop-off duck hunt now with Shayne in Corpus Christi and experience duck hunting on your terms!

Shayne was an awesome guide. It was my two teenage boys and me. We moved several spots and caught about 25-30 trout. We had a great time and enjoyed the fishing trip.

Shayne was an amazing guide!! We limited out on trout within about 20 minutes from when the first line was casted. My girlfriend who has only fished one other time was able to catch many fish and he helped her every step of the way! You won’t regret booking with Shayne 👍🏻

Great fishing trip. Shayne communicated with us prior to the trip answering an questions we had. He picked us up right on time and we got right to the fishing. Wind was howling and seemed to get higher as the night went on. We had chosen the night trip because that was the only time we could go and we love night fishing anyway. Not too many guides offer that. He took us into protected areas and we had a blast. Fish were not cooperating, but he worked hard to get us on some fish that were feeding. Got two really nice redfish and one keeper speck. Just want to thank Shayne for a great overall experience! J and J.

Shayne is the real deal. Even though our trip was tough, he still managed to put us on fish. Upmost professional and even entertained my 7-year-old for the entire afternoon. If you go with another guide, you’re wasting your time and money.
