November through January, the Lower Laguna Madre becomes host to over 700,000 Redhead ducks, Pintails, all three species of Teal, Widgeon and other species of waterfowl. This provides the chance to combine a little fishing with some outstanding duck hunts. "Winter" this far south is a kindler, gentler thing with many days with highs in the 80's, lows in the 50's. A few "Blue Northern" cold fronts pass through each season that will drop lows into the 40's for brief periods with quick recoveries on the back side of the fronts. Many seasons we are able to use wade fishing boots up until Thanksgiving. Light waders needed for late season. The best hunting takes place after the split (Thanksgiving to the end of the season in January).
Fishing stays consistent to great with large numbers of Speckled Trout and consistent Redfish caught. Both hunting and fishing pressure are comparatively light here
Trips are usually run in the afternoon. Departure around 12:30 to allow time to fish before setting down to shoot some ducks. Arrangements can be made for morning hunts and full afternoon fishing or vice versa at an additional cost.
