Mase, im in the same situation. Except, I dont hunt the ocean, I hunt a lake, and we dont have tons of blacks. The mallards love these little ponds that ur talking about, i have a few myself. I use a mojo in the pond, and the mallards dont even hesitate. they come right in. calling wise, i stay more to the quiet side. if they see ur spread and there heading ur way, give a few feeders and maybe a quack. try it, works for me. when they want nothing to do with you, talk to them. good luck,
tyler
