@BigDuckHunter thanks a ton for the pics and insight, thats really helpful.

Also, when I figure out how to make that 2-story duck blind with a kitchen in pop-up form to fit in my kayak I’ll be a gazillionaire! Seriously, I am a little surprised there isnt more lightweight/packable blinds out there. The go-to ones I see people recommending are pretty big and heavy. Is portability for walk-in or kayak-in just not that common? Any good suggestions with that in mind?
Haha when you figure that out I’ll be your first customer! Like I said earlier, what is best really depends on what you’re hunting. Are you hunting from your kayak or just paddling to dry land and hunting from there? Also, what kind of cover is around where you’re hunting?

Some of both. Its when the water line is far away from shore (low water) and/or vegetation is very sparse. Something like a sandbar either just peeking out of the water or just under, with sparse bullrushes or sparse grass—definitely not enough grass to hide in the way you can just tuck into cattails.

This is not my picture, I just found it online. The low grass in the back is pretty similar to where I found birds a bunch this year, and it was often a long ways from any thicker/taller cover. If anything what I found was more sparse. I think on dry-ish ground as shown a layout blind might be the best bet, but it was often in 3 to 6 inches of water so just trying to figure out how to set up in conditions like that. Maybe something like a layout blind for the kayak, or something like whats pictured? Im not sure how “good” the pictured hide is either—better than what we had, but it seems like it’d stand out to me.
