About Your Trip

Experience the thrill of decoying ducks on the lower Laguna Madre and backwater estuary of South Padre Island, Texas. A world class destination for duck hunting, renowned for its diverse and abundant waterfowl population. Guided hunts are perfect for all hunters, young and old, experienced or beginner. With Captain Zach’s expert guidance, you’ll have the opportunity to improve your hunting skills. South Texas has an abundance of various species of ducks that spend the winter months on the shallow waters of the Laguna Madre, making this estuary a hot spot for waterfowl hunters. The most popular diving duck, the Redhead. 90% of all wintering Redhead ducks whose flock can run into the tens of thousands make their home in south Texas. Whether it’s Teal, Pintail, Bluebill, Mexican Mallard, Shoveler, Widgeon, Gadwall, and Mexican Whistler, you will have a mind-blowing adventure shooting multiple species of ducks with Captain Zach.

The morning will start early, with a ride in a comfortable 25-foot Shallow Water X3 Bay Boat. After the decoys are set in place you are going to enjoy calling in multiple species of ducks in comfortable, permanent blinds.

Quote From Capt. Zach: “There’s nothing better than shooting, beautiful ducks in full winter plumage, decoying into the spread. You think your wife has a hard time picking out a dress to wear to dinner, you are going to have a harder time deciding which ducks you want to take home to put on the wall!”

Me and my family went out with captain Zach and had an awesome day. Weather wasn’t in our favour but made the best of it and landed some fish! Captain Zach was very helpful, runs good fishing gear and has a beautiful boat. Will be booking our next trip with him when we’re back in south Padre for a family vacation!
