SWP's Meet The Guides
"True Watermen are born, not made! They live, sleep, eat and breath for the flights of ducks & geese. These men and women possess a Sixth sense when it comes to waterfowl. Their Pure talent will forever change those who gun with them."


Capt. Bill Saiff III

Our Guides

Bryan Oster
Bryan
is a life long waterfowl man and my right hand at SWP.  Bryan has been with me the longest and like me, cut his teeth hunting"Open Water Bluebills".  He is an expert in both field and marsh but his 1st. love is "Perch River", where he dominates this 10,000 acre wetland!
Jim Rehley
A raw hunting talent with the innate ability to be in the right place at the right time. We've been gunning partners since the age of 14. Jim can run an 870 "Wingmaster" faster than anyone I know. His shotgun skills are legendary and our customers look to Jim for tips on shooting!
Dave Warner
"Big Dave" is a true Waterman.  He is an expert in both duck and goose calling and his knowledge of Lake Ontario makes him a huge asset when piloting the "Seaway #2".  Dave is also a great retriever handler and clients who gun with him are sure to see calling and retrieving magic!

 
Jon Roukous
Jon is featured here with his youngest Chesapeake "Ace".  Jon owns "Winterbranch Kennels" and is a well known breeder of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.  Jon is a get-things-done guy who manages many of my field hunts with me.
 Jon Mandich
Jon is the newest member of the SWP crew.  He is no stranger to our clients as Jon has been my (right hand) in the fishing business for years.  He has 17 years experience on the open waters of Lake Ontario and is an excellent caller.
Randy Acey
Randy is one of the finest dog trainers I have ever gunned with. Clients benefit every year from the amazing work Randy does with our retrievers. Randy has been with us since the beginning and is a solid member of our hunting team.

Our Helpers

Dennis Whelpley
Dennis is a long time friend who's with me nearly every day of the "Resident Goose" season.  He lives near one of our hottest epicenters of geese and
is in the field spotting for us constantly.  Our September goose hunters know Dennis well!
Frank Petty
Frank is a newcomer to the SWP team.  Frank has some excellent retrievers and met our group through training.  Frank knows many of our duck hunting areas and lends us a hand throughout the season.  Look for Frank to be a regular in 2007'.
Jerry & Randy Sherman
The Sherman brothers are
"Living Legends" in our part of the Atlantic Flyway. These boys are expert callers that are both tough and durable. When they work a two-man routine even the wariest Blacks & Mallards work the Rig.
