Diver hunting question

[skeet]

There are a couple of questions you have to answer first..What kind of divers?? Cans Redheads and Blackheads or Sea ducks.. But first off when you make your set I assume you will be in a layout rig..So remember to put the majority of the decoys on the side where you expect the birds to come from..100 hundred decoys will hardly be enough if you are serious.. so put the lines approx 20-30 ft apart with some crossing your line of vision to impart the look of many decoys and get the decoys right up to the boat especially a small layout. Sea ducks are a bird of a different color..you can even flag them right into the rig..as you can blackheads and redheads..Cans..not so much...Oh and remember..that water is cold..have backups..and good communication with the main boat if at all possible.. If you are doing diver huntring from shore..or a booby blind use most of the decoys as singles with a coupleof lines of decoysa leading into the main rig..Seriously a hundred decoys will almost be enough.. My friends and I used as many as 450 on the Chesapeake...and what a job takin 'em up..set'n 'em is easy

An by the way..when we used that big rig..the birds really came to us..really!!
