Default Muck bottom decoy dilemma

Hey there fellow duck hunters, ive got a problem that i'm sure at least a few of you have encountered in the past and was hopin i could get some great advice from an even greater group of people. I'm a low-budget college student with no boat and no dog (only fish allowed in the dorms) and i found what i like to think is the honey holes of all honey holes for duck hunting, and its only a half hour from school. Its a long pond about 100-150 yards long by about 15-20 yards wide, with 4 grassy knolls along the side, equally spread along the northern edge, perfect for backdrops for yours truly and 3 of my hunting buddies, but heres my problem, i scouted it out a couple weeks ago and found out the bottom is thick sloppy MUCK! there's no way i'd be able to walk in there to retrieve my decoys or even ducks for that matter. Our season opens on saturday and a couple of friends and i r goin out monday to avoid the rush, and i can only think to bring a fishin pole and musky lure to retrieve my ducks and deeks. Any advice? I just got a new quiver butt duck and cant wait to see how much it livens my spread in the calm waters of that pond. Thanks everybody!
