So I have fished west bay all my life, and am just now getting into duck hunting. I was wondering if there are any places you can get to to hunt without a boat on the island. anyone know anywhere? My other question is what is the etiquette on using a pre-existing blind? I don't want to take mooch of anyone's hard work but just curious if those are free for anyone or not.

All blinds on the bay are on public water. First come First serve! With that being said be prepared for some conflict at 5AM when you pull up start setting up and the people that built it come out and want to hunt from it. Legally your allowed to hunt there since you got there first. Keep GW # handy and camera because Hunter Harrasement is not made up and they can receive a ticket for that should they mess with you. Your allowed to hunt from your boat with it anchored and motor trimmed up out of the water. A lot of people hunt the coves, marshes just get out there and scout. No ducks in Galveston BTWWe are West End Anglers, a saltwater tribe!

We have had bad hunts & okay hunts this year in Bay City at 3rd Coast Outfitters, less than impressed with how my group is going about it will not be on there again at least with them because nobody can communicate, nothing but divers, spoonies and mergansers right now on the bay a few pintails in the marsh but tough to get to unless your running an ultra skinny boatIt's been tough this year all around in this area from what I am hearing

Better yet hide in the marsh by him and just take his ducks, lol!!!We are West End Anglers, a saltwater tribe!

All blinds on the cove are on open water. In the first place come First serve! With that being said be ready for some clash at 5am when you pull up begin setting up and the individuals that manufactured it turn out and need to chase from it. Legitimately your permitted to chase there since you got there first. Keep GW # helpful and Polaroid on the grounds that Seeker Harrasement is not made up and they can appropriate a ticket for that if they upset you. Your permitted to chase from your watercraft with it secured and engine trimmed up out of the water. A mess of individuals chase the inlets, bogs only get out there and scout. No ducks in Galveston BTW
