Just buy a little kayak anchor ($6) and some line that they use to mark property, 2 or 3 caribiners, and a bungee, and put that all together: anchor then some string, then bungee, then string and tie loops in the string. Put the caribiners on some ducks, and hook them to the loops. If you have no clue what I said just ask  :chuckle:

I actually try to never hunt where they want to be, rather intercept them on the way. Example- if you hunt the roost they leave, if you hunt the feed they feed elsewhere. But if you find a loafing spot or a spot they fly over to feed or roost your on the money.

As for the op, I'd have to see it to offer any help. Try more geese, or full body decoys if you got them. If every thing looks good, you should be able to pull birds 200yds of the 'X'. Also try leaving 3 or 4 decoys out all the time.

Also, are you decent on a call? Run a spinner? Jerk string?

REALLY!!!!! LEAVE DECOYS OUT. That is a GOMER move. Great idea. teach every bird that lands there while your gone. stupid stupid stupid. You leave decoys out there you might as well find a new spot to hunt.

I've done it for years. Believe it or not the never figure it, as long as you move them around a little. Works excellent on geese too.

I have learned a couple techniques for more open water with trial and error. My season is over now so I figured I'd share  :chuckle: The first is due to only having 20 dekes and only having enough line for about 18 of them, we made a curved line with a break in the middle of it. The break was so they could fly directly at us if the wind shifted that way. (The winds are constantly changing where we were.) We set the ends at the end of our shot range and then curved it out so if the ducks were inside of that line they were in range. This worked amazingly well. We had every flock end up coming in directly towards us cupped in. If we were halfway decent shots we would have had 2 limits that day.

The next time that setup didn't work so well so we used two triangles of dekes. It was basically the same concept except it allowed approaches from 3 ways instead of just straight at us. This worked for when the winds weren't favoring them flying straight at us. Using a jerk rig improved both setups immensely.
