Port Bay Waterfowl Photography Workshop:
Richards Outdoor Photography, LLC is excited to offer a very unique waterfowl photography workshop at the Port Bay Club! When we saw this beautiful facility and heard the history and experienced riding out to blinds in vintage style skiffs and watched flight after flight of redheads and other ducks cupping into the decoys earlier this year, we knew this would be an awesome location to do a waterfowl workshop.
Established in 1912, Port Bay Club is the oldest continuously operated hunting club on the Texas Coast. The original camp suffered substantial damage from hurricane Harvey, but the current 1.8-million-dollar facility closely resembles the original historical camp. Located in the Copano Bay System near Rockport, this area has been renowned for over 100 years for the thousands of waterfowl that winter here each winter. Redheads, buffleheads, lesser scaups, canvasbacks, ring-necked ducks, northern pintails, American widgeon, blue-winged and cinnamon teal, gadwalls, mottled ducks, and various geese species will be at their peak plumage February 23-25th during the workshop. There is also a great variety of other bird life including white ibises, roseate spoonbills, brown and white pelicans, and ospreys in the bay. We can’t think of anywhere that would be a better place to experience the vast array of winter Texas coastal waterfowl and bird life than Port Bay Club.
Dave Richards, and his son James, are teaming up with renowned photographer and Port Bay Club member David J. Sams of Lone Star Outdoor News to provide up to eight photographers this unique opportunity. Photographers will receive instruction from Dave, James, and David Sams on how to successfully photograph waterfowl and more. The photographers will have four photography sits in Club blinds to make their own memories capturing waterfowl images. Guides will set decoy spreads each sit and call waterfowl as needed to bring ducks into the decoys.
