  • Spearboard reject!

    Me and Dan stettled our differences a while ago. Given the rederic and things I said and were said back and forth, I decided not to invade your space here out of respect. I was going to post this regarding Spearboard as a caution and testimony to underhandedness. You all made me feel so welcome that I think I'm gonna hang around.


    I know that some of you may resent me for things I said. Especially Sergio. I would like to publicly apologize for the things I said about you. I feel bad about the whole thing. I can understand if you can't accept this.

    LOL! Thanks!


    I will start a spear fishing in Brasil thread here as well in the future and keep updating it.
    It's a good winter thread since the seasons are inverted between northern and southern hemispheres.
    It's almost spring in Brasil now.:toast:

    You should consider taking the grouper incident to the department of fish and game. It should be investigated. The dispute (theft) involving your labor maybe harder to prove but you should file a complaint with the State just to start the process and provide the back up for future claims by other victims. Just a thought.

    I know what u mean about pursuing the poaching incident but I personally don't have time nor enough evidence to prove him guilty in a court. Regarding my loss, it was my own stupidity to allow myself to be put in that position and for trusting that a friend would treat you fairly instead of playing you for a sucker. $700 is a small price to pay considering we were discussing more work. Live and learn.:toast:

    what really gets me is that I considered him a friend. I would have never compromised a friendship over money. My wife tells me I'm naive and gullible .


    Tony Grogan: I know you come here and lurk. You told me so. I hope it was worthed to you. People like you disgust me. You represent a lot of what is wrong with this world we live in. Cheers dirtbag!

    Thanks guys! I will post them up when I get a chance.


    That was back in the day when I could hold my breath for longer than a minute. Take care of your lungs guys...

    Ok, disregard last post. I found the fish. It's funny that he shot it in march and posted it in June , three months later.

    He also mentions that it was shot in state waters, so perhaps we were in fed waters. Got to check the distance and coordinates. I'm not to uppity on the regs. I do know that he asked me to not mention it and deleted his gps footprints.


    Where's the Grogan hyperlink btw? :)

    Thanks Rolo. I do not think it is the same fish.


    He posted a pic of it in that same thread as a sidenote, but removed it because he knew it was illegal. Otherwise, why wouldn't he post a report on it.?

    I heard about extortion and misdealings with other sponsors but did not believe it until it happened to me.


    Thanks for the kind words but I dont deserve them. My own stupidity.


    I just want to bring some info to others so it does not happen to them.


    This is the grouper that was shot out of season in state waters on March 26.




    This is the engine I worked on:

    Most of you know me from Spearboard. I was recently banned for speaking out for what a piece of crap Tony Grogan is. I just want to share my story with you.


    Some may know that me and Dan have had our differences but that is in the past.


    A few months ago, Tony Grogan asked that I repair his Caterpillar engine in his boat. It would not start. I did about $1000 worth of work on it and got it running. I wrote the invoice up for $700, discounting my travel time. We were going to trade work for labor.


    After work was competed, I informed him that the engine needed about $2500 worth of maintenance, due to his neglect and that the $700 invoice amount was the most I could spend towards any advertising on Spearbored. He was very upset and told me I'm a quiter. He also told me that since it was a "trade", that the value of said trade was less than if I had paid cash for the sponsorship.


    I told him to pay me in cash for my work and then I would give it back to him in cash for a cash payment. We got into an argument that resulted in the end of our friendship. I have all the emails back and forth between us.


    Eventually, jfjf got involved and convinced that piece of shit to give me full dollar on the advertising. Once he conceeded, I told him to keep his advertising. That I did not want it and to also keep the $700, since he obviously needed it more than me.



    The kicker of the story is that he really has no scruples or integrity. In business or elsewhere. I dove with him on various occasions and he is the kind of guy that will take fish out of season and I have proof. He shot a 50lb Warsaw Grouper one day, in state waters when season was closed. Then he erased the tracks in the plotter to cover up. He did not post a pic of his fish untill after grouper season opened again. I have pics of his fish. Sad thing is that his daughter was onboard with us that day.


    That is how he operartes. Its all about self glory and promotion.


    He is an old fag. He is pretty strange in person as well. No personality whatsoever. I had the feeling of being used to drive his boat since he could not find anyone to do it. No wonder he is single, what woman would be able to put up with a wierdo like him, I have no idea.


    Thats my story.
