Ducks in Bogue Chitto NWR/ North Pearl WMA

Guys I'm new to the forum and looking for some guidance on these two areas. I'm trying to find some good locations to scout over the next week or so for duck hunting next year. I've never been too deep in these areas before but I hunt Big Branch alot and thought they would be good for a change of pace once in awhile. I've got access to a pirogue, canoe, and godevil. I've always thought that these areas might hold mallards but I've yet to be able to find a good area. I know there have to be some good wood duck holes. I've checked some of the old borrow pits but haven't found much there. Could anyone offer some guidance? And yes I know to be on the lookout for the Honey Island Swamp Monster...
