Diving Ducks
Hunt them from November – January
The Eastern Basin of Lake Ontario is a HOT SPOT for “Bluebill” action!
Expect to encounter both Lesser & Greater Scaup!
One of our custom Float Rigs overlooking a rig of Divers!
The Seaway team has always set the standard in offshore gunning. Our design and utilization of our boats as well as the rigging of our spreads is legendary in the Seaway region. Our float location dictates the mix of ducks we shoot. While some locations are just for Diving Ducks, others can provide a mix of Dabblers and Divers. We lay out the options for our clients so they may make an educated decision about what they will gun for each day. (The Seaway region is so diverse that many different hunts can be undertaken during the same trip – ask us for details!)
Todd Wagner (PA) with a Drake Redhead & Bluebill
Our good buddy Todd Wagner (Pa) holds a bull Redhead and Greater Scaup. While we do not target these birds daily (small limits)-our region is one of the few areas in North America where lesser and greater Scaup (Bluebills) congregate during the fall migration. When the right opportunity arises, the Seaway team is fully rigged to take advantage of these legendary diving ducks. Todd and his brother Judd gunned beautiful examples of both lesser and greater drakes with this drake Redhead thrown in the mix as icing on the cake!
“Tart” with a Bull Goldeneye! We call them Whistlers…
