Venice Ducks

Anyone been down river lately? I'm going down to hunt Saturday and Sunday and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for hunting either Delta or Pass A Loutre. I've always hunted Baptiste Collette for the opener but wanted to try something new and hopefully get some big ducks. I'm not looking for secret spots just do's/dont's mostly. Any help is appreciated.

you're going to be hunting public land?

yes... Pass A Loutre is a state WMA and Delta is a federal NWR.

I have no idea about the area, but what type of boat is needed to get there. Will a 14' john with a 9hp long tail make it out there?

That would be a horrible idea to get in the river with that boat... It could on a slick calm day, but even then it's risky.
To the OP. There was a post on LA Sportsman that said that it's loaded down river near Delta Duck, so you may be making the right move.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the info. Soooo ahhh did I mention I have a duck dog and I'm a pretty good shot?

dude...venice always has ducks. If you go down to venice and dont come back with a limit of tails, annd a few other birds you're doing it wrong.

If you have a bigger boat, just tow your go devil, but then there's the hassle of launching two boats and all that nonsense.

No go devils/mud boats are allowed on the Delta. Just giving you the heads up.

You could cross the river to Baptiste Collette in that rig. I knew a guy who did it all the time but he was a local. If you ever to try it make sure you and your dog wear life jackets.

That would be the only place I would try with that size boat. But I would be scared to cross at night. It's not like you can outrun a crewboat or ship with that size motor. Just make sure no big boats are coming before you cross.
I used to run all over in Venice as a teenager with a 16ft tim's marine flatboat and 40hp yamaha but that is a little bigger and quicker than his boat.

im not familiar with the area so i wouldnt go out there early am for the first time trying to find my way around in the dark, but thanks for all the info. crossing that river in my boat would be pretty scary.
