Woodcock Hunting (paging Wick)

I am new to woodcock hunting, actually all upland bird hunting. I have a 9-month-old Llewellin Setter from White Rock Kennels in Waco, TX and this will be his first year hunting. I'm located in New Orleans and will mostly hunt within an hour or hour and a half from here (public land). If anyone could give me some general information (ie. places to go, where to park around the WMAs, what type of areas to look for, shell sizes etc.) My dog is currently with Ricky at Southern Tide Kennels doing basic obedience and learning basic gun dog skills (I highly recommend Ricky if you are in this area). The plan is to hunt him this first year and then decide if I'd like to send him to a place that focuses on bird dogs. Thanks in advance, I'll gladly return the favor.
