PaulPro: That looks pretty good!
I'd love to hear how this works for you!
[quote gstott]It's not so much a duck imitation, but more of a song bird, but there's this:

Fishing around the flooded brush and cattails at Condie every spring, I would here some pretty loud splooshing sounds beneath the red wing blackbird nests. I bet this would do the trick in similar situations.
I haven't seen bass eat ducks personally, but my friends showed me some photos of a 6lb bass they caught that vomited up a whole family of ducklings in the bottom of their boat.[/quote]
I ordered some similar to that on amazon just last week.
Unfortunately, they're coming in on the slow boat from China.
eta: June 14....
But what I had in mind, was something like the one Paulpro made, but totally weedless - hooks up high, weights on the base.
That big lunker that grabbed the duckling the other day was RIGHT against the shoreline, that duckling was only about 3 inches from the bank, water couldn't have been more than 6 inches deep right there. The bank was kind of cut away, and was a pretty much solid mass of moss and bits of cattails that had blown up to shore. I'll get a snapshot of the location today, I'm betting he was there for the shade.
But to fish something like that, it's gonna have to be weedless.

Maybe I'll whack off the tail, and try to rig something on the bottom to simulate the paddling of tiny little feet.
Anyone know how to make it do that shrill little chirp sound?
The bass was right about where the red bobber is, top 1/3 of the pic.
