Ay decoy will work, spread them out some and create a pocket in the middle for the ducks to land.

well in your area you're mostly be hunting Divers ( Ringers , Blue bill ) . I would get a dozen Ringnecked , and 1 to 2 dozen coots . All ducks like landing around coots .

What ducks are u seing and get decoys to attract them . Not saying to get every species of decoy . Coots are the best decoy you can have in your spread .
