Thread: Decoy setups on large ponds

Asking for the people's 10c who shoot on big ponds, particularly irrigation. What do you do about ducks sitting in the middle of the pond or away from the spread in un shootable ranges. Do/did you increase your spread, more motion decoys, better calling, float buckets where you don't want them to land. We already run a big/decent spread mixture of floaters, full bodies, motion decoys, geese, swans etc etc). We float buckets in the corners to try flare the ducks from where we cant shoot, but still isn't perfect. Am I better to increase the spread even more to compensate for the large amount of ducks that live on the pond, get more motion decoys, or more full bodies and replicate a safe group roosting along the bank, or just accept the fact we will never get them all? Side note we use well covered laydown blinds so it isn't a issue of them seeing us and going to the middle.
Cheers in advance.
