TOP DUCK HUNTING DESTINATIONS IN FLORIDA
CENTRAL FLORIDA DUCK HUNTING
For serious waterfowl hunters, Central Florida offers some of the best duck hunting in the state. With vast marshes, winding river estuaries, and shallow coastal flats, this region attracts large flocks of blue-winged teal, redheads, pintails, and scaup, providing non-stop action from the blind. The combination of natural cover and prime feeding grounds makes it the perfect spot for decoying ducks at close range.
CRYSTAL RIVER DUCK HUNTING
Crystal River duck hunting combines coastal and freshwater opportunities, making it one of Florida’s most diverse hunting areas. With access to brackish inlets, salt marshes, and estuaries, hunters can expect to see scaup, pintails, widgeon, and teal. Whether hunting along the coastline or deep in the river system, Captain Teddy knows how to position you for success.

Had a Great trip with Capt Teddy. We were catching a variety that day...Trout, Redfish, and Sheepshead. Appreciated the opportunity to get out and enjoy the Nature Coast with the Veterans Special offered. Teddy is well versed in the local fishery, and very personable as well. Was a fun trip, and I am looking forward to another trip in the future. Thanks for the day Capt Teddy!

What a day! Teddy took us fishing to some of his honey holes, and we were able to take home some top slot reds. It was a super calm day, so they spooked easy, but the ones we caught were worth the struggle! I'm glad we weren't "taxed" by the lemon shark, but that would have been exciting, too. Can't wait to go again, Teddy!

Capt. Teddy was terrific. I brought my 14-year old son with me and he loved it!! Teddy was patient, knowledgeable, fun, humble, and really knew the backwaters. He did an incredible job... and put us on a LOT of fish. Awesome experience all-around.
