RE: Decoy set-up
I don't have any diver deeks, however one of my hunting partners does and we often set up for puddlers, and divers at the same time. The water here in NM will often have deep water right on the edge of flooded grasses, so we will sit in the water with our puddle duck spread in the shallow grassy areas, and a J hook of divers into the deeper water. It has been working great. Last year I was able to take my first Canvasback (that the taxidermist destroyed, see the taxidermy forum on this site for pics) in this exact type of set up. We also get a lot of buffelhead, ringnecks, redhead, and a few bluebills.
