If you are hunting flooded timber kick your feet to create movement on the water. I've even done that in the marsh sitting in the decoys with good camo. The birds will see those ripples on the water further than they will hear your call.
If you can "trill" your tongue you can call ducks.
Listen to birds on the water and you will mostly hear feeding chuckles, low quacks, and whistles. Being able to trill your tongue will allow you to execute all those sounds with a little practice. I use a soft feeding chuckle 90% of the time.
