re: Lets have a discussion about marsh hunting

On our lease on coast we have big drive in blinds in the big water. They are brushed with cane, willows, palmettos and myrtles. Stand out like a sore thumb, but they fall in a flyway the birds use coming from offshore. Lots of decoys 8-10 dozen when we hunt. Keep in mind there's usually 10-15k sitting between me and the Mardi Gras rig.

When hunting certain ponds that produce on X wind we build blinds accordingly. 2x4s and 1x4s box of fast grass, piece of plywood you're in business. I go cut grass from area near by and zip tie it to fast grass to make it blend in. It's a little higher profile but the biggest thing is not having a black square with 2 pale faces in it. I used to cut 55 gal drums and sink them and run a 2x6 across them for seat. That will get you low enough. Just a pita to anchor and pumping out all the time, etc.

The rest we use pop ups and carry some myrtles and canes to break up boat outline and palmettos cover our backs. These smaller ponds i rarely use more than 3 doz. I have remotes on mojos, when they work they stay on.

When all else fails do what them guys up north do and sweeten your ponds. Saw a lot of guys brushing blinds with a new type of sugar cane this year.
