been checking with guys from Start to Mer Rouge to Lake Village Ark, seems all had pretty ok opening weekends but success dropped quickly. friend in Lake Village told me Friday that every duck in the area seems to have left. they are set up to hold ducks and if they don't have ducks, very few have them. there is a huge lack of wood ducks on the creeks around Lincoln, Jackson and Bienville as well. come on second split.
