you are a lucky man! have hunted Chesepeake Bay in layouts for old squaws and scoters. it is, or at least can be, a fantastic time. depending on how you're hunting, take some good rain gear because if you are in layouts and the waves get going the splash guards don't keep all the water out. if the birds are really working well, just take in the sights for a while and be less worried about a limit. sunrise can be awesome so take some good pictures. Who are you going with from a guide standpoint.
