Unexpected show is remedy for a long waterfowl season
A weary waterfowl guide joins Elton Hudson at Shoal Grass Lodge in Aransas Pass for a dawn hunt on a bay system near Mud Island. The morning explodes with pintails and redheads, delivering a dramatic display as groups of 15 to 30 birds drop into decoys, culminating in a personal limit and a vivid impression of Rockport as the pintail capital of Texas.

Gulf Coast Fishing and Waterfowl Outlook Summary
Gulf Coast reports trout and redfish action across North Sabine through Matagorda with live shrimp, lights, and soft plastics. Bays from Trinity to East Galveston show fair to good trout, redfish, flounder, whiting, and sheepshead on shrimp, minnows, and plastics. Waterfowl notes drought conditions, scarce shallow water, and mixed hunting prospects across North and South Zone, with ducks persisting where water remains. Port O’Connor, Laguna Madre, and Rockport cited for limits and regional variability. Prospects fair to good overall with ongoing dry conditions affecting access and pond levels.
