Duck Hunting & Fishing Combo in Louisiana
Private Trip
Bird hunting
Combines duck hunting and fishing in one Louisiana packageIncludes deluxe lodging, meals, gear, and open barAvailable November through February with flexible scheduling
Look, I've been guiding hunters and anglers through Louisiana's marshlands for over two decades, and I can tell you straight up – our Hunt and Fish Package is the real deal. At $825 per person with a two-person minimum, you're getting way more than just a hunting trip. We're talking about a complete outdoor experience that combines the best duck hunting Louisiana has to offer with some serious fishing action. Available November through February when the ducks are flying thick, this package includes deluxe lodging, three square meals, all your fishing gear, and an open bar to keep things loose after a long day in the blind. You can split it over two days or go all-out in one epic adventure – your call.
This isn't your typical weekend warrior setup. We're running a top-rated operation that puts you right in the heart of Louisiana's prime waterfowl territory. The morning starts early – I'm talking 4:30 AM coffee and strategy talk – because that's when the magic happens. We'll get you positioned in our permanent blinds that overlook active flyways where mallards, teal, and pintails have been using for generations. The afternoon switches gears completely as we head out on the water for some serious fishing action. Whether you're a seasoned hunter looking to add fishing to your trip or an angler wanting to try your hand at wingshooting, this combo delivers both experiences without cutting corners on either. The deluxe lodging means you're not roughing it in some leaky camp house – we're talking comfortable beds, hot showers, and a place to properly clean your birds and fish.
Louisiana's coastal marshes are a different beast entirely from your typical prairie pothole hunting. We're dealing with tidal influences, wind patterns off the Gulf, and birds that have seen every decoy spread imaginable. Our blinds are strategically placed along natural travel corridors where ducks move between roosting and feeding areas. I provide all the decoys – we're talking realistic spreads with motion, not some garage sale specials. Shot placement is critical here because wounded birds in thick marsh grass become lost birds fast. We use steel shot exclusively, and I'll have you patterning your gun before we ever see a duck. The fishing component takes advantage of the same water systems, targeting redfish and speckled trout in the same marshes where we hunt. The boat rides between spots give you a chance to see this ecosystem from water level – it's country that most people never get to experience.
Mallards are the bread and butter of Louisiana duck hunting, and for good reason. These birds start showing up in serious numbers by mid-November, with peak flights hitting in December and January. A mature greenhead drake can weigh up to three pounds and provides some of the best eating you'll find. They're smart as hell though – mallards that make it to Louisiana have been shot at from Canada to Arkansas, so they're educated. What makes hunting them here special is the sheer volume. On a good day with weather pushing birds, you might see thousands of mallards moving through your area. Blue-winged teal arrive earlier in the season, usually by late September, but our package timing catches the tail end of their migration plus the green-winged teal that show up later. Teal are speed demons – blink and you've missed your shot. They'll buzz the decoys at mach speed, offering lightning-fast shooting opportunities that separate the good shots from the great ones. Pintails are the aristocrats of the marsh, with those long necks and elegant lines. They're pickier about decoy spreads and more likely to flare at the last second, but when you connect on a bull sprig, you've got a trophy that looks good on the wall and tastes even better on the plate.
Here's the bottom line – this Hunt and Fish Package delivers exactly what serious outdoorsmen want: quality hunting, productive fishing, comfortable accommodations, and guides who know their business. At $825 per person, you're getting a world-class experience that would cost twice as much if you tried to piece it together on your own. The November through February season timing means you're hunting during peak migration when the action is hottest. Don't wait until the last minute to book because word gets around fast about operations that consistently produce results. Whether you want to split your adventure over two relaxing days or pack everything into one action-packed marathon, we'll make it happen. Give Calcasieu Charter Service a call and let's get your dates locked in. The ducks are flying, the fish are biting, and your spot in the blind is waiting.
