About Your Trip

Fishing and Duck Hunting—no better combination.

If you’ve never fished the Galveston Bay system, you’re missing out. These productive waters are home to the “Texas Big Three” of Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout, plus Sheepshead, and Black Drum, and many more species. On this 6-hour action-packed adventure, Captain David will help you reel ‘em all in.

Don’t forget your shotgun, ammo, and thermal chest waders. You’ll be hopping off the boat to go hunting for some delicious ducks.

Captain David conducts these trips using his 24’ Shallow Sport center console which can accommodate up to 3 anglers. This vessel is meant for those shallow hotspots and makes for a smooth ride to and from your destination.

When fishing with Captain David, you’ll specialize in light tackle, bottom fishing, spinning, and drift fishing. If you’re willing to try something new, Captain David can also accommodate fly fishing. You’ll need to bring your own gear.

Your captain will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and lures. He’ll also provide water but feel free to bring your drinks. You’ll also want to bring some food. Make sure you have a valid Texas saltwater fishing license.

Put your game face on and embark on this one-of-a-kind combo adventure with Captain David!

Despite hot weather during early season, we still bagged a few ducks and Dave cleaned them for me at the boat launch. Highly recommend!

We had the best time with Captain David! He was so nice and fun to fish with. I had never saltwater fished and he was very patient with me. She showed me how to bait the hook and did it for me until I was comfortable doing it myself. No judgement. He was an all around good guy! Took us to several spots and put us in fish every spot....

She showed me how to bait the hook and did it for me until I was comfortable doing it myself. No judgement. He was an all around good guy! Took us to several spots and put us in fish every spot. We caught black drum, croakers and red drum. He took me to his Hail Mary spot ( shhh it’s a secret). And I caught a 15 pound Red Drum. He helped me step by step land it into the boat. It was so much fun and he was as excited as I was. We saw a mama and her baby dolphin and he took me as close as he could to them so I could get some pictures because he knew I was excited to see them. On the way back to the pier he told us some history and info about the things we were seeing. I will definitely book with Captain David next time we go down there.

3 hunters, 6 shots fired at 1 duck that was way too far. Guide couldn’t put us within range to shoot, water was so low that I measured 90 yards from cover to waters edge in one spot, I have never been on a paid hunt where I never even fired a round. Guide stated had he known water was so low he would have cancelled the hunt. He did cancel the hunt he had...

Dave took my 8 year old son and I out and we had a great time! He did a good job putting us on some ducks despite less than ideal conditions and even less than ideal shooting by me! Already looking forward to getting back out with him later in the season. See you soon, Dave!

Captain David was great. The weather and the tide was working hard against us and he worked harder to put us on fish. Great trip with a quality guide, I will be back.
