I have a coastal bottom with trees / woods on two side that I could levee and flood . Close to a good duck lake - 1/2 mile
Only 100 yards long by 50 yards wide
Is this too small to mess with ?
Thanks

Heck no it's not too small. Some of the smallest ponds hold the most birds.

Yeah, don't listen to me. I'm just an idiot.
Lol. Duckbill that was funny! The dude up top has already taken lots of bone before this deer, both mule and whitetail.

I'm guessing that "coastal bottom" refers to coastal Bermuda grass and not the location

A bunch of the guys back in Arkansas look for the huge hole 4 miles into the flooded timber...best hunt I've ever been on in my life was 150 yards off the river and it wasn't 20 yards wide that no one ever hunted. It was timber, but I'm sure the same applies to your hole. Food + Security = Ducks. I say go for it man.
