Get ready for a waterfowl hunting adventure like no other with Captain Bill on Ohio's legendary 25 Duck Water Ocean. This ain't your average day in the blind – we're talking open water action, hot breakfast, and more ducks than you can shake a duck call at. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the game, Captain Bill's got the know-how to put you on the birds and make sure you have a blast doing it.
Picture this: You're cruising out on a rock-solid boat as the sun's barely peeking over the horizon. The air's crisp, there's a hot coffee in your hand, and you can practically hear those ducks calling your name. Captain Bill's been running these waters for years, and he knows exactly where those birds like to hang. We'll set up shop in a prime spot, toss out some decoys, and wait for the action to kick off. And let me tell you, when those birds start flying in, it's go-time. You'll be in for some fast-paced shooting that'll keep you on your toes all morning long.
Now, let's talk gear. You'll want to bring your trusty shotgun – 12 gauge is the way to go if you've got it, but 20 gauge works too if that's more your speed. We're all about steel shot out here, so make sure you're stocked up. Waders? Yep, you'll need 'em. It might get a bit chilly out there, so layer up with some good waterproof gear. Don't forget your hunting license and duck stamps – we can't have the game warden crashing our party. Captain Bill's boat is decked out with all the bells and whistles, including some top-notch decoys that'll have those ducks fooled in no time.
Every trip out here's got a story, and we've heard some doozies. Like the time a group of buddies came out and one of 'em swore he could call ducks better than anyone. Well, turns out his "expert" calls sounded more like a cat with a hairball, but wouldn't you know it, the ducks came in anyway! Or there was this father-son duo who hadn't been out hunting in years. The look on that dad's face when his boy dropped his first drake mallard? Priceless. That's what it's all about out here – making memories and having a good time.
Let's talk targets. Out on the 25 Duck Water, you're in for a mixed bag of waterfowl that'll keep things interesting. Mallards are the bread and butter – big, beautiful, and boy do they taste good. These green-headed beauties are smart, so when you outsmart one, it's extra satisfying. You might also see some gadwalls swooping in. They're not as flashy as mallards, but they're quick and make for a fun challenge. And keep your eyes peeled for wood ducks – these colorful characters are like the supermodels of the duck world. They're fast and agile, so when you bag one, you've earned some serious bragging rights.
Don't overlook the divers, either. Bluebills (scaup) and redheads might zip by, especially later in the season. These speedsters will test your lead time and make you work for your limit. And if you're lucky, you might even see a canvasback – the "King of Ducks." They're big, they're beautiful, and they're not easy to get. Bagging one of these is like hitting the waterfowl lottery.
Remember, different ducks have different seasons and limits, so we'll make sure you're up to speed on what's fair game when you're out with us. Half the fun is identifying what's flying in, so by the end of the day, you'll be a regular duck expert.
Listen, if you're itching for some serious duck action, this is your ticket. Captain Bill's got the spots, the skills, and the setup to make it happen. We're talking a full morning of wing-shooting that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. And with room for up to 6 shooters, you can bring the whole crew. $1200 gets you and your buddies out there, breakfast included. Just remember to snag that hunting license before you show up. Don't let another season fly by – book your spot with Captain Bill and get ready to add some new chapters to your hunting stories. The ducks are waiting, and so are we. Let's do this!
