, I have used old spoiled wild duck that a friend gave me. I filled gaps in the cages with it. Duck is oily, and the bugs were eating that alot, more than the macks. .

I experimented with alot of different baits and techniques this year, and hands down (besides the duck), macks and slamon heads get eaten. One thing to look for when you drop your nets is if there is an oilly slick coming off the bait. If it still slicks, it is still good.

So Buffleheads have a use?? how about spoonies and coots??

Spoonies are not so bad though.....

Yeah surprised the heck out of me. Every time I pulled a net with the duck in it a bug had duck in its jaws.

If coots work I am going to head to Santee lakes with a bag of croutons and a throw net!
