Default Goose hunting, calling problems.

Ok 1st off im new to goose hunting the past few years. I have 2 dozen shells, 6 full body bigfoots with flocked heads, and 6 floaters, flag, Have avery laydown blinds, ect. Now my problem.... Im not TOO bad at calling. I just do alot of clucks, and try to sound like multiple geese. Now.... the problem is out of me and my friends, im the only one that knows how to use a short reed call. I use a meatgrinder, and can get it to sound pretty good. My buddy has a flute, and its too deep and sounds bad. I usually tell him to shut up. LOL. I hunt in PA, near middlecreek wildlife area/lake, and the area there gets swamped with geese. Where I hunt, they are far and few between. All the hunters here got all the good farms near the wildlife area, so we are stuck on state game lands farther away. We have boats so will do some hunting on some lakes/rivers. Now... Another questions. With only 3 dozen or so dekes, how should be we setting them up? And how should i be calling... say when we see a flock in the distance. What call should i do to get them to turn? Then what call to keep them comming? What to do if they turn? I think the "come back" call is a long honk right? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
