Duck-Tails Guide Service with Captain Experiences

Captain Andy Strybos splits his time between running fishing charters and leading duck hunts across Texas, operating out of the Brazos Valley. His approach is high-energy and hands-on—whether you're chasing redfish inshore or working waterfowl through the marsh, he brings the same expertise to every outing. His motto says it all: "Stickin' gills and stackin' bills."

You hunt multiple species—Teal, Gadwall, Widgeon, Pintail, Canvasback, Redhead—whatever's in season and where the birds are.

He provides: - Portable blinds and full decoy spreads - Game cleaning (included) - Gun rentals (if you need them) - Flexible departure locations - Weather-protected deposits (no loss if canceled for weather)

You bring camo, waders, boots, your shotgun, and shells. Lunch is on you.
