The flyfishing community would not act this way!!!

also call SD sheriff's office, report being attacked, throwing iron or lead at you is assault, even if he doesn't hit you. the potential is there. I've seen the sheriff boat in Mission a couple of times so they could roll out to LJ with ease. Let them deal with him. Most of the sheriffs I know are outdoors man and don't like those kind of jerks.

I see him all the time. A very hard worker who's trying to make a living. Never seen him blow up though but always respectfully kept my distance. I fished on his fathers sport boat back in the day. What a good dude who ran a clean boat. Killed a lot of fish on the 60 mile with him. Jim

That is one of the problems with commercial fishermen. However you came to be in "their spot", you are fishing in "their spot". And spot means anything within however far they say. Radio the authorities in channel 16 because that is assault with a potentially deadly weapon.

Verbal threats, physical threats like throwing irons and aborted rammings a clearly crimes, some fall in to the felony zone. Like Greg Andrew said, the ownership attitude extends to where ever this person is or wants to be. It reminds me in many ways of localism in surfing. The other terrible attitude about this is the believe that laws and consequences end at the beach.

Almost every one has video capability now so its only a matter of time before he gets recorded doing this shit. One, or several, arrests for aggravated assault will get this guy's permits pulled and get him off the water. A restraning order from LJ would be fitting. This has actually been done against violent local surfer banning them from thier home breaks. Seams strange that he can't see the consequences coming his way. Mike

Jim just identified this guy as Greg Trompas...take a look, for those of you that have seen him...is that the guy?

driftwood · 02-06-2016, 07:25 AM

AKA "The Mad Skiff Guy". If you haven't met Greg you don't fish much. He hates kayakers and calls us the "ENEMY". He especially HATES kayak fishing guides!!! He loves to do a very close kayak fly-by at full speed on his boat.

The dude is Psycho! too bad... he has mad fishing skills.

Yes that is him. I wasn't going to drop any names but the cat was close enough to out of the bag. You might recognize him from several videos I have posted, "Squid Nest Fishing."

Hard worker, yes, contributor to fishing, yes, arrogant and a bit of an ass, yes. Trust me though, I'm not saying that I am not a little of the last two. Lord knows I am neither of the first two...........

People want to yell and bitch it is all good, but I hope nothing crosses the line.

How is this guy a "contributor to fishing" ??????

He sounds like a dick. Livelihood or not. Life's too short to be a dick.

On one of the SD fishing facebook pages it sounds like shots may have been fired in the direction of a kayaker this morning. Keep your head on a swivel.
