You begin before or around first light for a compact, four-hour hunt: an open-boat launch into tidal flats and channels, guided positioning, and repeated short windows of intense engagement as seaducks work the coast. The pace is direct and purpose-driven—an early start, local expertise, and a small group make for focused time pursuing waterfowl.
