They usually put a flag up around boat, easy find. I don't think that is legal though. :twocents:

Post by: akirkland on November 02, 2012, 08:16:16 PM: Hey Quack. I grew up hunting duck on the salt in the south sound. It can be great hunting. And yes, there is more than sea ducks. And yes, they will come into your spread. I have hunted the Columbia a bit as well. Both are fun and productive. PM me if you want some info.
