How to attract ducks to your land.

My grandfather is 82 and cannot get around very well to go hunt anymore. He does live on and own a 250 acre plot of land in the Hammond area and it is very secluded. He has about a half acre catfish pond surrounded by woods on all 4 sides. He also has a 2 acre crawfish pond. We have shot ducks off of both sporadically my entire life and long before I was even born he would get a few now and then. What should I plant in the crawfish pond to attract more ducks to it? Is there anything I could legally do to attract the ducks to the catfish pond as well? I know he misses being able to go hunt like he used to and I am thinking this may be a good way to keep him active and enjoy the rest of his golden years.

He doesn't plant anything. It is soley used to harvest crawfish from. I was thinking rice but I do not want to hassle with actually harvesting it. I really would just want to let it grow and keep the vegetation tame and managable.

This is what it looks like now:

And it will look like this around Feburary:

summertime. pain in the arse sometimes to get that thing dry enough to chop up and plant
there is a lot of literature online on when and how to plant specifically for crawfish

Do you buy seeds every year or can you use what grows?
