I recently relocated back to Florida from the midwest and would love to find a place to duck hunt within a reasonabl drive. I have a boat here with motor and trolling motor to get me back in shallows, have an Avery blind I can put on the boat, just do not know where to go.

Any help is appreciated and if anyone is looking for a duck hunting partner, I can call them in pretty well. Left all my decoys in Illinois with my other duck boat so I could hunt from time to time up there with friends. With that said, I am ordering decoys and could use some help in knowing which species of duck decoys work best down here. Love to shoot fat greenheads, teal, woodies and the speed demon divers.

Thank you to all.

I have a buddy who duck hunted Tampa Bay for years.Lots of bluebills out there,don't know if they're worth a crap to eat though. I think it's legal to still do so but I couldn't tell you much more about it.

Thanks guys and divers are a blast to shoot, will have to check into the distance rules around some of the islands and break out some Bluebill decoys.
