I hunt a few lakes myself, with one being very large.Some times we use a boat but most of the time we just take in a 1/2 doz or so dekes with us and set them up in less than 2 ft of water, sometimes only about 6ft from shore. We have all the cattails too and the marsh is full of that swamp goo that you can sink in if not careful. We have had lots of birds decoy in plus some bonus geese too. So give it a try, it sure can`t hurt none. Good luck.
