Actually, I am hunting marsh.....although in the future I might someday try building my own layout boat.

I am trying to come up with an idea/contraption to quickly set my decoys, as I usually hunt by myself. I hunt a managed area, so we are not allowed to go out until after the draw in the morning (05:30)....when the time changes, that barely gives us an hour to get to our spot, set decoys, get under cover, ect, as shooting time is around 06:30 or so.

I started hunting with a diver rig last year, and it worked well....I think partially because I could just drift with the boat and the line would play out and I could hook the decoys on as the line played out, and the fact that everybody else on the managed area is using 3-5 dozen mallard decoys, with a few pintails, black duck, ect thrown in for flavor. The divers are something different, but natural for them to see, so they decoy readily to the spread.

100 decoys is a bit much for one guy I trying to put out about 4 dozen or so in a short amount of time.
