Dumb as rocks, Taste like Crap, But fun as **ll to shoot. Long lines and painted old flambuea dekes always worked. Do not send your dog until you are 100% sure the bird is dead. They will drop from the air like a rock and resurrect from the dead like the holy man himself. Keep shooting until feet are twitching. I always found the incoming tides to be the best for me.

Many of these birds feed on the bottom in 30 - 50 feet of water, as mentioned they can DIVE. I don't bring my dog for the sea ducks, but then again, I don't have to be anchored in San Juan county like I think you do in Skagit.

Howdy fellas,just came across this forum, looks like quite a bit of knowledge here. Hopefully I can learn from you all. I just moved back to the area (Oak Harbor) from 10 years away (grew in in Mount Vernon, in the USN) and am trying to learn the hunting areas. I have been going to Fir Island chasing ducks and snow geese, and am always waiting for them to pick up off the water and fly over for some pass shooting. My question is, is the area out in Skagit bay all open to hunting? I've never done any hunting out of a boat, so it's all new to me. Im looking to get a 14-16 footer to take out there and try and get closer to the flocks when they're sitting out there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Don
