We usually go to Wax for opening of teal every year and we've been going to Shell Island on opening weekend of big ducks every year for the past 12 years. My favorite hunt would be about 6 or 7 years ago at the Wax. Me and 2 buddies went to Wax but had to idle all the way there because we were breaking in the brand new motor and it was very foggy so we didn't get to our spot til the sun was well on its way up. When we could actually see more than 10 feet in front of the boat we decided to hunt in a small cut that we had found a few weeks before that made a short run through the marsh. While walking to the cut we could have killed our limit of teal there were so many of them around. We set up along a little bend in the cut. All we shot were fly-by's and we had our 3 man limit in right at 1 hour. We were back at my house in Delcambre and had all the ducks cleaned before 11 o'clock. We ended up putting the boat back down in Delcambre to finish breaking in the motor and waste the day away!!
