1 day duck hunt

me and my dad left san diego around 3 Am to head to the salton sea for some duck hunting. we had no clue how damn cold it was going to be. but we showed up to the sea and saw a few duck in the air but none in range. so we headed to finey ramer about 25 min away and loaded up our our john boat with some snacks and decoys and headed out to one of the islands. we must have seen 15 mallards take off from the other side of the island . too bad for us we didnt get a shot off. but we stayed for about an hour and 2 teal flew by. i popped em. those were like the only ducks we saw for a long time so due to the cold, and lack of birds, we left. i wish it could have been a bit better but there are always more ducks to shoot.

Right on.
I haven't hunted there in years. A yak would be the way to go there. Stealth hunt.

ya we usually bring our yak but its getting worked on. we also have a canoe thats all camo. love that thing. and ya we heard a lot of shooting in the finney lake. we hunted the ramer lake. but opening day our party got a total of 5 mallards. 3 hen, 2 drake. and several pintail. its picky there sometimes but if it WFO, its the best duck hunting ive ever done.
