To shoot duck somewhere near Trinidad (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tobago

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'somewhere near trinidad' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'to shoot duck' is the wordplay.
'shoot' becomes 'bag' (I've seen this in other clues).
'duck' becomes 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket).
'to'+'bag'+'o'='TOBAGO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tobago that I've seen before include "Island in West Indies" , "Trinidad companion island" , "Trinidad's smaller partner island" , "Island paired with Trinidad" , "Island near Trinidad" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
