BIG DUCK SEASON IS ALMOST HERE

These little cold fronts have everyone one on edge thinking about the upcoming duck season. If you haven't been on one of our gentleman's duck hunts this would be a good year to get in on some of this action. Southwest Louisiana is known as the best fly zone in the country and for the big numbers of the fast flying water fowl coming through. Call the "DUCKETTS" toll free today at 888.762.3391 and get one of them to check availability.

CATCHING FISH AFTER THE HUNT

November and December can be awesome given the right weather. Big numbers of flounder, redfish and big speckled trout are very common during this period. Think about bringing the youngsters over while school is out during the Thanksgiving holiday to experience a trip of a lifetime. Call 888.762.3391 and check it out. Here are some pictures from the last few days and you can see them all by clicking here.
