South Texas Cast & Blast: Duck Hunt & Redfish Combo

Hey there, fellow outdoor enthusiasts! If you're itching for a day packed with both wing-shooting and line-pulling action, boy do I have the trip for you. Our South Texas Cast & Blast experience is the real deal - we're talking primo duck hunting in the morning followed by some red-hot redfish action in the afternoon. All this goes down in the legendary waters around Port Mansfield, where the ducks are plentiful and the reds are always hungry. Trust me, it's the kind of day that'll have you grinning from ear to ear by sundown.

Double the Fun

Listen up, 'cause here's how your day's gonna shake out. We kick things off at the crack of dawn, setting up in some of the best duck blinds this side of the Rio Grande. You'll be right in the thick of it as flights of redheads, teal, and pintails come swooping in. Once we've limited out or the action slows, we'll swap the shotguns for fishing rods and hit the flats. The redfish in these parts are something else - hard-fighting and always ready to crush a well-placed lure. It's the perfect one-two punch for anyone who loves to hunt and fish.

From Blind to Boat

For the duck hunting portion, we'll be tucked into carefully selected blinds that blend right into the landscape. We use top-notch decoy spreads to bring the birds in close, and I'll be there to help you ID the different species on the wing. When it comes to the fishing, we'll be poling through skinny water, sight-casting to tailing reds. It's all about stealth and accuracy - get ready for some heart-pounding action when a big red decides your lure looks like lunch.

Waterfowl Wisdom

Let's talk ducks for a minute. In the Port Mansfield area, you've got a shot at bagging a real mixed bag. Redheads are the stars of the show - these diving ducks come in by the thousands, drawn to our rich coastal waters. Green-winged and blue-winged teal zip around like feathered fighter jets, testing even the best shooters. And if you're lucky, you might even see some pintails with their distinctive sprig feathers. Each species has its own quirks and challenges, making every hunt a new adventure.

Redfish Rundown

Now, onto the redfish. These copper-colored bruisers are the pride of Texas inshore fishing, and for good reason. They grow big - I'm talking 20-30 pounders in these parts - and they fight like their tails are on fire. Fall and winter are prime time for reds in the shallows, when they're gorging themselves on crabs and baitfish. Nothing beats the rush of seeing that signature V-wake pushing across a flat, or the explosion when a red crushes your topwater lure. It's the kind of fishing that gets in your blood.

Gearing Up

For this trip, you'll want to come prepared for both activities. Bring your waders and camo for the duck hunt - we'll provide the decoys and calls. For the fishing, light tackle is the name of the game. A 7-foot medium action rod paired with a 3000-size reel spooled with 20-pound braid will do the trick. Don't forget polarized sunglasses - they're crucial for spotting fish in the shallows. And of course, pack plenty of water and snacks to keep your energy up throughout the day.

Why Folks Keep Coming Back

I've been guiding these Cast & Blast trips for years, and let me tell you, they never get old. There's something special about combining two of Texas' best outdoor pursuits in one action-packed day. My clients love the variety - one minute you're calling in ducks, the next you're sight-casting to tailing reds. It's the perfect way to experience the best of what our coastal waters have to offer, all in the span of a single trip. Plus, with a max of 6 people, you're guaranteed plenty of personal attention and opportunities to get on the fish and fowl.

Booking Your Blast

The price includes everything you need for a successful day on the water - boat, fuel, bait, and all the local knowledge you can handle.
