Crescent bar area duck hunting

[vandeman17]

Just wondering if anybody hunts much around Crescent Bar for ducks. I finally got a boat out today for a test run and am looking to use it for the remainder of the season. It is my uncle's boat that he never uses so it is mine for the rest of the season. Any pointers on places to check out or would anyone that knows the area want to join me in the upcoming weekends? I will supply the boat, decoys etc.

Hunted that area many times.  PM if you have specific questions.   
#1 thing when hunting in that zone is that water level can fluctuate very rapidly and can leave your boat high and dry if you're not paying attention.

Just hunted it this weekend. Pretty slow, but enough action to keep it interesting. A change in the weather would help. The river was on the low side.

I grew up spending a lot of time on the river during the summer so I know how the water levels can change and will pay attention to it for sure. I took the boat out just to run it this morning and the water level was pretty low today.

are there mallards down there?

I was a few miles south of there Saturday. Not too many mallards. Lots of action though!

No, none to speak of just singles and doubles. There were a few mixed in with the widgeon and divers, and some around the bar itself. There were some up high. It was a real mixed bag for us. My impression was the birds there have been there for awhile, nothing really new from up North.

yeaaa thats the same thing that has happen to us,all local birds,and divers.. seems like the farther south you go the better the hunting is

[vandeman17]

I am ready for the new birds to show up that is for sure!

Sent you a PM on a spot you might want to check out that's holding a ton of ducks of honkers.
