I love my aquapod. Once it's grassed up, I'm able to lie down undetected within ten yards of my dekes, sipping coffee, sometimes out in the middle of the marsh, where a blind or larger boat would flare birds. They usually have no idea I'm there until it's too late. I can also easily pick up and move a bit if the birds are in love with a different area of the marsh. I don't need a dog either, as I simply paddle over to get my birds. I'm 57, and have been duck hunting for 50 of those years, and I've hunted every way you can think of. This is my favorite method, and probably the most efficient and effective I've tried.
