Hi! My name is Bill Winkel Jr. (a.k.a. Quacker). I have hunted waterfowl in New Jersey and Eastern PA since 1989. The addiction started when my Uncle Rich introduced me to the sport and I shot my first black duck over a South Jersey coastal salt pond.

I am proud member of Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl, and the New Jersey Decoy Collectors Association. I was born in Ocean City, New Jersey in 1972 and have never lived away from the Jersey Coast. Over the years my hunting excursions have taken me to an endless array of tidal creeks, ponds both salt and fresh, bays, and swamps in a region that is rich in waterfowling traditions. This entire region has always been chock full of baymen. Fishing, hunting, clamming, oystering, decoy carving, waterfowl guiding, and boat-building was -- and still is -- an important part of New Jersey's Heritage.

I'm lucky enough to live right in the Atlantic Flyway and on the border of the Coastal Zone and South Zone of our duck season! This gives quick access to great waterfowl hunting all season long!

I am proud to be on the Pro Staff for Drake Waterfowl Systems! The products that they offer represent a company on a mission to develop the absolute best gear a waterfowler could hope to put to the test. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have about Drake's products. I will do my very best to answer them for you.

Second to hunting is my passion for fishing both fresh and saltwater! I caught my first fish on my grandfather's boat when I was 4 yrs old. There is fishable water within 5 minutes in any direction of where I live! Flounder, weakfish, bluefish, and my favorite, stripers, are my main targets in the saltwater here in South Jersey.

Please check out my page and view some of the pictures that I have posted including a hawk kill that I found on the marsh with a $100 reward band!

I will add more pictures soon!

Safe Hunting!

Bill
