Fishing

 

Fishing license
You can order online: http://tpwd.texas.gov/business/licenses/online_sales/ or order by phone (800) 895-4248, Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm central time.

Fishing Pole and Gear
You are welcome to bring your own gear or use the gear provided by your guide. If you intend to wade or kayak you must bring your own pole and gear.

Sunscreen / Sunglasses
The Texas sun gets awful hot so make sure to bring sunscreen and polarized sunglasses. Polarized lenses allow you to see into the water much better and often times allows you to see the terrain and what your guide will be pointing out..

Clothing
Light comfortable clothing, which covers most of your body is recommended. Preferably water wicking material, which dries quickly.

Waders
You are welcome to bring waders, however they are often times not needed.

Wading shoes/boots
Wading shoes are a must. If you plan to get in the water, which you will most likely do, sandals or crocs will not do. Korkers are preferable.

Flashlights / Camera / Dry Bag for your valuables
A small flashlight helps visibility before sunrise. Given the conditions, make sure to bring waterproof protection for your phone/camera. Either way, you’ll see some beautiful skies and exciting game and photos will help relive the memories of your experience for years to come.

Towels / Toiletries
We supply clean linens and bath towels, but we recommend bringing extra hand towels if you intend to take one out into the field. We supply soap and toilet paper. If you want moisturizer and mousse, you’re on your own. You’ll also want to bring your toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving gear, shampoo, and deodorant.



Duck Hunting

 

Duck hunting license
You can order online: http://tpwd.texas.gov/business/licenses/online_sales/ or order by phone (800) 895-4248, Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm central time. You’ll also need a Federal duck stamp, which you can get along with your license.

Gun / Choke tube
A 12-gauge is standard for waterfowl. Bring one or two guns you’re comfortable with. Consider bringing cylinder or modified choke tubes.

Ammo
Bring two boxes of 25 shells for each day of hunting. We recommend 3 or 3.5 inch shot. Remember, no lead is allowed for duck hunting – steel only. Gun slings and game straps are encouraged. When you leave the blind with a limit of ducks you’ll be glad to have a gun sling and some game straps to help you carry everything.

Duck calls
All of our guides are excellent duck callers, but you can bring your favorite duck calls if you care to.

Clothing
Straw color camo for upper body clothing is recommended. Shadow Grass and BreakUp are two popular versatile patterns. Avoid wearing green camo as it will make you stand out. Remember, it’s wet out there so pack your rain gear! Be sure to include a hat, plenty of wool or thermal socks and long underwear.

Waders
While some hunters stick with hip boots, chest waders are a better bet. It’s easy to get into the water on the way to the pit or blind, and waders will keep you comfortable.

Facemask / Gloves / Sunglasses
A hunter’s face sends a strong “danger” signal to the ducks. Wear a full-face straw color camo mask. We recommend Gore-Tex or Thinsulate water-resistant gloves. We supply handwarmers. Polarized lenses are helpful for dealing with the glare off the water.

Ear protection
For the sake of your hearing, consider bringing ear plugs.

Flashlights / Camera / Dry Bag for your valuables
A small flashlight helps visibility before sunrise. Given the conditions, make sure to bring waterproof protection for your phone/camera. Either way, you’ll see some beautiful skies and exciting game and photos will help relive the memories of your experience for years to come.
