Captain Jim uses 2-man layout boats and can accommodate up to 6 people. He DOES NOT provide firearms.

We have mentioned earlier that Captain Jim uses a variety of duck decoys, but you’ll notice that many of them are vintage decoys. Each with a story that goes with them. All you have to do is ask Captain Jim for the history behind each one. He has a unique talent of keeping you entertained with the history of each and every decoy.

Finally, and probably of most importance is the type of ducks to be had. Let’s just say there is a reason why the bay of Green Bay is considered a duck hunting haven. The variety of waterfowl is impressive which brings the people back year after year. There are Bluebills, Redheads, Canvasbacks, Goldeneyes, Buffleheads, with an occasional long tail or scoter thrown in for good measure.
