Have you been on a guided sea duck hunt? Where did you go? How did it go? I would like to go on a guided sea duck hunt eventually, and I thought I would see if anyone on the forum has been on one.

Lots of scoters at Torrey pines south of Del Mar this time of year. Walk the beach at low tide and let the 3.5' # 8's fly. No guide necessary they are right there in front of you.
Erin,
Breck Dickerson is the guy to ask...Lives in El Centro area...Don't think he's on this forum...He's also a taxidermist.
ps...Pretty big bucks and you're probably going to have to travel to Alaska.

Sea duck's can be shot in SD if you know how to do it. There is a very well known taxidemist in SD that told me how.

Not there... somewhere else...
I don't think so, but he is very knowledgeable about Alaska sea duck hunts....Call him, maybe he does....I know he guides out in the IV for cinnamons.

What ducks are you trying to target? If you just want to shoot scoters, it's all you want in the SF bay area. North Wind Outfitters or something like that does it a lot. Lots of goldeneye and other divers also.
If it wasn't such a pain in the ass to drop sail I'd probably try and get scoters off a friends boat but you can't be under power correct, including wind?
"It is unlawful to: Pursue, drive, herd, or take any bird or mammal from any type of motor-driven air or land vehicles, motorboat, airboat, sailboat, or snowmobile, except when the motor is off and/or the sails furled and it is drifting, beached, moored, resting at anchor, or is being propelled by paddle, oar or pole. CCR T14-251."
So...you could, just depends on how fast you can furl the sail.
Steve,cal told me stories of you guys shooting the south bay for brandt . Good ol days for sure
I’m going up to the SF bay this week for a 2 day guided sea hunt up there. I’ll post pics when I get back.

I have lots of pictures hunting South Bay, but can't find any of the brant...Chip Jensen used to drop Cal, Cousin Ron and I off on the salt flat levees.

I want to shoot scoters, I’ll have to decide if I want to go somewhere for a chance at harlequins and old squaw too or if I want to start with scoters only.
