Got skunked but not for lack of trying...

Anyone have any luck today?  A buddy and I got skunked today.  There were a bunch of ducks flying at daybreak but they were to high and dead set on getting out of town.  Shot at a few but wasn't able to connect today.

Took 3 guys out this morning.  We were limited by 9:00.  The wind and rain helped.

I haven't gone out yet, the migrators coming in?

[h2ofowlr]

Yes, we got into the bright footed mallards today.  Starting to see the larger flocks of ducks as well.

I've been hunting Skagit this year. I dont have a boat so I've been walking in. Most areas are pretty limited to how far I can walk to get away from people b/c of tide guts. Any other general areas for getting down to the salt and killing some widgeon? I'm buying a boat next year.

For those of you who are hunting public land and getting limits, two questions:

are you mostly pass shooting, or are these ducks wingset?
are your decoy spreads huge, or do you rely on small, yet more realistic deeks?


Reason I ask is because I usually hunt my folks fields and do OK, this year I've tried a couple public spots and the birds are a mile high, even in weather. seems like a bigger spread might be the ticket. (they tend to give me a look, but nothing serious, and with 4 or 5 blinds all within earshot calling i'm trying to figure out how to set myself apart)
