Additional Information

Overview:

Hi, I am Captain Russell Pilzner, owner of Russell Pilzner's Fowl Play Guide Service. I have been hunting and fishing the Port O'Connor and Seadrift area for over nine years. I enjoy hunting/fishing with families and children as well as the die-hard hunters and anglers. I am U.S.C.G. licensed and a member of Ducks Unlimited® , CCA, and the Coastal Bend Guides Association.

     I specialize in duck hunting the San Antonio Bay System for Redheads, Pintails and other diver ducks. I also fish the Port O'Connor and San Antonio Bay Systems for trout, redfish and flounder.

WHAT TO EXPECT

    When hunting with Captain Russell, I will give you an enjoyable four hours of morning or afternoon hunting on the beautiful bay flats of the San Antonio Bay System.  We will be hunting for Redheads, Pintails, Widgeons, and other diver ducks.

     I expect nothing of my hunters except to have a good time and be prepared to shoot some ducks.   I take care of all necessary preparations such as, loading the boat, putting out and picking up the decoys, and retrieving all birds.

    The ducks will be retrieved by one of my two fully trained labs.  Shyleigh is a beautiful eight year old chocolate lab with six full years under her belt.  My new four year old yellow lab, Warrior, will be experiencing his third year on the water. With his family background and his desire to please, it is always a pure delight to watch him work. 

WAYS WE WILL BE HUNTING

    We will have several types of blinds to choose from depending on the flight pattern of the birds.  The types of blinds we will be hunting out of range from sink blinds, custom built blinds, all the way to portable blinds.

    We will be hunting over small or large spreads of top quality G&H Decoys.   The only items you will need to bring or get for your trip are your Valid Texas Hunting License including your Federal Duck Stamp. Licenses and stamps or available for out of state persons at 1-800-TX-LIC-4U.The only items you will need are gun, shells, waders, and camouflage clothing.
