The answer to my duck hunting frustration is a boat blind. Of course the implication is that the Rocket lives at my house, I think I can arrange that! A boat blind would let up to 3 people (only 2 could shoot at a time) hunt ducks on the harbours - think Manukau, Firth of Thames and even on a still day you could get some shots. There's a boat ramp at Weymouth that could be a useful launch point for Manukau, plus of course the old Piako ramp at Pipiroa...
A bag of dekes with long line clips, a backbone line with achors on each end, a long handled net with a hook on the other end (picking up involves driving the boat around after downed birds, the net is for that and hook is to pick up anchor buoy)... mint!
