MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I am curious about the biological explanation for this. What is it about the area that can withstand no limits, but still be a thriving perch population year after year? What's the secret? If it only is was something we could extend to other areas of the state (I am talking about the continuously thriving perch populations)!
I think its pretty simple, the fisherman are the variable, without them there would probably be a massive amount of dinks.. Believe it or not perch can destroy a lake pretty fast and over run it.. I can name a half dozen lakes off the top of my head that are chock full 5 inch perch 1 in particular you literally cant find an area of the lake where they arent there and every single one of them is 3-5 inches..There is literally without exageration millions of them...
Sounds like Canadarago
it's not only legal but considered a part of proper fish management from the new York DEC that's why Jefferson county has no perch limits and most fisherman on Chaumont sell the fish .... it's been going on for years for a reason
Trapper, now that this no perch limit has been around for years, do you see an increase in the size of perch that are caught at Chaumont??
Report it, maybe they will let you write off your bait...lol...h2l
you don't have to report selling fish if your a non commercial hook and line fisherman it's considered a hobby the same is true with trapping ....the government has always known if it was a business then the write offs would out weigh any income and one would actually be able to lower there income tax ....not to mention you would be entitled to apply for grants and government loans .....
It's only considered a hobby if you do not intend to make a profit. If you make a profit 3/5 years you are in it to make a profit. These are the rules for our ''hobby'' farm. Federal cut off is $400 then you have to pay self employment tax. Will they come after you for a few thousand, maybe??We went through it with our farm.I know, I know get the popcorn ect ect. I really could care less if anyone sells, it is legal as can be, but the proceeds can be taxed. Hobby (Not-for-Profit Farming)An activity is a hobby if it's primarily for fun, recreation, or sport without any intention of making a profit. Any income from a hobby farm is reported on the first page of Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return under "Other income," not on Schedule F (Form 1040). Expenses of a hobby can only be deducted on Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions. Furthermore, the IRS prescribes the order and method for taking hobby-related deductions and limits the amounts that can be taken. Ultimately, hobby losses can't be used to offset unrelated income.The IRS will presume a farming activity is being conducted for profit if it produced a profit in at least three of the past five tax years, including the current year. (For equine operations, the presumption is two of seven years.) If the years-of-profit test isn't met, it doesn't automatically mean the activity is a hobby. Instead, IRS will consider other criteria in its determination, including the following: Extent to which the activity is conducted in a businesslike manner Time and effort spent on the activity Taxpayer's dependence on income derived from the activity Whether activity losses are due to uncontrollable circumstances or are typical for similar start-ups A farmer's or their adviser's expertise and knowledge related to the activity Expectation that assets used in the activity will appreciate in value Taxpayer's success in carrying on similar activities in the past Efforts to change methods of operation to improve profitability Amounts of occasional profits from the activity, if anyNo single factor indicates whether an activity is carried on for profit or not; all facts are considered.
