I also have been wondering if anyone has recommendations for waterfowling from a kayak, what boat and how they set it up. All the add's I've seen for poke boats that sure look like short fat kayaks.

Here's one guy's methods:

I've also heard good things about scull boats, but they weigh more than I want to handle. Look at Glen-L web page under "Boat Design Catalog" then under "Special Purpose". (I used their "Poxy-Sheild" epoxy on a strip canoe. I now use Raka and will never go back):

Here is a greatr duck boat page:
http://www.duckboats.net/

http://www.devlinboat.com/
has several duck hunting boat designs

Back to kayaks. I'm interested in hunting from a kayak. I'm thinking about building a CLC Ches 17 and elongating the cockpit to the rear to create a layout boat.

Any first hand recommendations would be helpful.
