Hunt AM · Fish PM
Blast & Cast
Start with a morning duck hunt, then trade the shotgun for a fishing rod and spend the afternoon fishing the bays.
There's nothing quite like a morning duck hunt on the Texas coast. The ride out in the dark, getting the decoys set, and watching birds work over the marsh are all part of what makes hunting around Port O'Connor special.
Join Captain Stephen Boriskie for guided waterfowl hunts in the bays and coastal marshes, with opportunities for redheads, pintails, puddle ducks, and divers depending on the season and conditions.

Let the Morning Begin Before Sunrise
Guided Coastal Duck Hunts
Duck hunts start early enough to reach the hunting area, get settled, and have the decoys in place before legal shooting time. Depending on the location and conditions, your hunt may use an established blind or a temporary setup.
Captain Stephen handles the boat transportation and decoy setup while you focus on the hunt.
What You'll Need to Bring
- Your own shotgun
- Approved non-toxic ammunition
- Required hunting licenses, stamps, and permits
- Appropriate hunting clothing and personal gear for the conditions
We'll confirm the trip-specific requirements before your hunt.
Redheads, Pintails & Coastal Waterfowl
Hunting the Port O'Connor Area
Port O'Connor's bays and surrounding marshes provide habitat for a variety of migrating waterfowl. Bird movement changes with the weather and season, which is why local knowledge and flexibility matter.
The goal is a well-planned morning in the field, with realistic expectations and an experienced guide.
