Rob: How did the hunt go? Any luck, and did you take the 10? I hope so. For my last duck hunt of the season, I took my 10-bore Lefever and a handful of 1 1/4 oz. Bismuth loads. Hunted a little slough surrounded by picked corn and had some good shooting. What do you see on the coast? Here, late in the season, it's almost exclusively mallards.
Your description got me thinking, and when I used MapQuest to look up East Rockaway, at first I couldn't see anything but NYC! But when I zoomed in and used the satellite imaging, I found your mudflats and, frankly, it looked pretty damned "ducky." A far cry from where I do my hunting out here in on the prairie, but it makes me chuckle to know that guys like you are still "taking them" on Jamaica Bay.
Happy hunting. TT
