re: Duck lease

I've always wondered what people saw in rice field leases south of I-10. I don't think I've ever had a successful south LA hunt unless it was in the marsh. Kaplan, Gueydan, etc. are good for a few teal and some specklebellies, but it seems like mallards are few and far between in the rice fields down there. Now fields in East Central and NE LA are totally different and I've pounded the mallards in the Mer Rouge area before, and had a lease in that area for a long time. A buddy of mine's family owns a great marsh club and I have seen why the marsh is so good and so coveted, but again have never had success other than a few teal and spoonies or some geese in Kaplan, Gueydan, Welsh, etc.
