What kind of ducks are these diving behind my house on lake conway. They are black with little yellow pointy beaks. I assume they are diving for baitfish. If so, can I assume that gamefish will be around there to.

Hard to tell, espcially if youre not seeing any fish feeding on the baitfish. Alot of lakes have ALOT of baitfish (shad) and not all the bait will have fish under them. Boils down to just having to try it to see I guess.:o
Coots

A coot it is! Unfortunatly it apears that they are diving for seeds and roots from the lilly pads that died off in the fall. I was hoping that the shad had come in.
if its a yellow beak, could be a grebe, coot beaks are white
