excellent responses....I agree completely on all counts.....SELECT a day here-n-there for those 'sure thing' hunts.....for special hunts etc.....and let it rest....it also sounds like with a channel there will be open water until it gets frigid.....if ducks already are there, they will bring bretheren and the action will get hot on those cold winter mornings!!!

you could hunt it in that canoe of yours....but be careful....you'll be limited on where you can go.... Great Island in LYme is another great spot to use the canoe....just always try to travel with the tide....it is hell in those creeks when alone paddling against the tide (and if against the wind forget it)...I learned the hard way there and had to get a tow once (and there were two of us)......in fact, I got a kayak just to hunt Great Island channels....a super one-man 'tool'......there are some better unimproved launch sites other than the state one that are closer to good spots, which I will let you know through PM if interested.....it's been a few years since I hunted there, and it can be a 'zoo' with alot of idiots, but getting into the back creeks you'll avoid all the commotion
