Tried to get out this year but right when we had planned on going out the fog was so thick for about 10 straight days we couldnt make it happen. After that we chased geese more and then duck season ended.

Not sure about their numbers up here but it really seems like more and more guys are hunting them in washington. You see alot of limits of scoters on the washington refuge from a bunch of different guys, a couple guiding services too. 1 harli a year though compared to up here I'd say theres 100 times more guys hunting sea ducks down there then up here.

I didn't get out for seas ducks this year at all, with the freeze on this winter It was pretty hot for puddlers so I never bothered going off shore. Was hoping to do a bluebill hunt but this gives me a year to get things ready for next fall.

What kind of rocks are best? River rocks or ones from salt water for a more briney taste?
