Default RE: decoy string length

It's not that hard genius. Use some of your brain power. You figured out how to sign onto the Internet, so think about how you will make decoys in 30-40 feet of water work. I've hunted in 30+ feet of water with individual decoy strings. If you can't do that, then I suggest you find a way to do it another way, such as the same way people put out sea duck spreads. Get two weights and make a line similar to a trot line for crabbing. It's not that hard. I just think some people don't use their own brain sometimes and want things handed to them on a golden platter.

I don't mean to come off as a smartass, but sometimes people don't think things out before they ask for advice. Please don't take any offense to what I may have said, but in regards to your original question: If you can not do the individual lines, I suggest setting up 6 - 8 birds on one line with anchors on the ends. If you do 3 or 4 of these, you'll have anywhere from 18 to 32 birds which may or may not be enough decoys for your area. Try it out and let me know how it works.
