Sea Duck Hunting … like "shooting at doves while standing on a rocking chair " (Gunning for Sea Ducks, G. H. Gillean, Tidewater Publishers.; p.18,1988. )

Sea-ducking may well be the greatest wing-shooting challenge there is!…Imagine clouds of ducks roaring into the decoys…right in your face…a pitching boat…a stiff wind…bam, bam, bam…and nothing falls! It happens a lot. ….even to the best shooters…but when you knock one down, buddy,….you’re a wing-shooter. Sea-ducking for three varieties of scoters and oldsquaws provides two kinds of shooting: fast and furious!

If you’re up to the challenge, call or email us….We are the most experienced sea-ducking operation on the Bay……..so book early and come see more ducks in two or three days than most people see in a lifetime!

"Cast and Blast"

Double your pleasure with a combined sportfishing and sea-ducking adventure…all in one day! ……Our "cast and blast" parties offer you the best of both worlds: Red hot sea-duck shooting and world-class striped-bass (we call ‘em "rock") fishing……Cast and blasts are very popular with our clients and available on an increasingly limited basis in October and early November……call now to book remaining dates……Note: Cast and Blasts are so fun…they may need a warning label!

Off-shore Gunning

Experience the thrill and tradition of Chesapeake Bay big-water gunning from the safety and comfort of a stable shooting platform, surrounded by upwards of 300 hand-painted decoys!…. Our offshore blinds are built on telephone pole pilings and camouflaged to resemble a small island……….. Bluebill, mallard, canvasback, black duck, goldeneye, bufflehead and Canada geese….they come to, through or over the decoy rig from every conceivable direction and angle; providing challenging one-of-a-kind wing-shooting………..We offer some of the best offshore gunning opportunities in the Bay……the way it used to be…….big water, big rigs, and big-league action!

What to Bring

Be sure to bring plenty of shells, …we recommend four to five boxes per person per day! Weather conditions on the Chesapeake Bay vary greatly and can change quickly. Rugged, reliable clothing that keeps you dry and allow you to dress in layers is the key to a successful expedition on the Bay. Click here for details.
