Duck Hunting
Duck Hunting At Its Best
All hunters are safely transported across the Mississippi River in water taxis which are equipped with radars for your safety and into our exclusive hunting lease, which is at the mouth of a massive river diversion that disperses high nutrient freshwater that feeds the lease with an abundance of freshwater aquatics like wild sweet peas, tickweed, duck potatoes & snails that attract migrating ducks for their primary food source.
Once inside the lease, the water taxis wind their way through to a small bayou and the Go-Devil duck barges, for the most comfortable duck hunting you will experience. The water taxis pull up so that the customers, guide and his duck dog easily off-load into each barge. We have designed our hunts so that you don’t need waders or boots since you’re not getting wet. These barges allow you to go where the ducks are no matter your age or physical ability.
Each year, hunting begins in September* with early teal season. Most hunters are able to hunt in tennis shoes and lightweight camo for great numbers of primarily Blue-Wing Teal, with occasional Green-Wings. The traditional or “big” duck season begins in November and runs through January (State & Federal agencies have the authority to change official season dates annually. Official duck season dates are typically announced in April. Unlike most areas up north that rely on just Mallards & Woodies, we are blessed with being at the bottom of the Mississippi Flyway, which provides us with a vast variety of birds like Pintail, Gadwall, Widgeon, Redhead, Canvasback, Scaup, Ringneck, Blue & Green-wing Teal, along with some Mallards.
After an enjoyable hunt, everyone meets back at the water taxis to head back across the River, then back to the main lodge for a hot lunch. While you’re eating lunch, the guides are cleaning your birds, just the way you want them. Blast & Cast customers turn around after lunch for an afternoon of world-class fishing for Redfish & Spotted Seatrout, Black Drum & Flounder.

Fishing & Hunting Trips
The Mississippi River Delta is widely recognized as one of the top fisheries worldwide – both inshore & offshore. “North America’s Largest River”, the Mississippi, which is the drainage for 37% of all North America, feeds the Delta with nutrient-rich freshwater. This creates a massive Louisiana inshore fishing nursery for the base food sources that all of the wildlife need that inhabit the Delta. Since there is an unmatched food source, gamefish of all species gravitate toward the Delta and some even call it home. Our stretch of the Delta represents nearly 14% of all US wetlands.
Tours
The Plaquemines parish portion of the Delta represents 14% of the entire nation’s wetlands in 1 location. This wide variety that makes up a very large estuary is both a full-time home to many animal species and a migratory, or a part-time home to a vast number of other animals. Due to the very rich food source the Delta provides, it cultivates massive numbers & species of birds. Large numbers of wading birds can be found throughout the Delta. Thousands and thousands of many duck species migrate to and through the Delta for a wintertime home. A large number of fur-bearing animals inhabit the Delta with most spending their entire life around the marshes. Deer, coyotes, muskrats, otters, rabbit, raccoons, nutria, pigs and other mammals are a visual bonus when on a tour.
