Hobby Loss Rules
As a professional angler, the hobbly loss rules will definitely affect you. Basically because the IRS considers your business to be a “hobby,” your deductions can get tricky. Talk to Brian. He can explain how the hobby loss rules apply to you and what options you have.
Brian is always advising professional anglers to track expenses throughout the year. Brian and his company can offer you organizational methods of tracking deductible expenses, tax planning services, bookkeeping, and business consulting services.

Payouts, Income from Tournament Winnings & Sponsorships
Fishing money can be sporadic for the fisherman. As many fishermen knows first hand, this profession can be feast or faminie from year to year. It can be easy when things aren’t going so well to get lazy with tracking expenses but when that monster 5 bag limit comes across the scales and you walk away with a big check, it’s not the time to start scrambling to find expenses to shrink your tax bill. Legacy can help make this tracking easier throughout the year so when that big payday hits, it’s smooth sailing!
The Importance of a Non-Endemic Sponsorship
Being a good fisherman is not easy—it takes a lot of time and effort on the water, a lot of cold mornings where you can barely feel your hands and toes. But that effort and dedication is what separates you from being an average weekend angler.
When you are a good fisherman, it’s easy for people in your industry to take notice and offer to pay you for their sponsorship. That can be great but the really successful fisherman knows how to tap into the non-endemic type of sponsorship. They show different industries through their charismatic personalities and willingness to put themselves out their for their sponsors, that investing in them is an ideal situation for all. If you don’t know how to align yourself up for success with a variety of sponsorships, give us a call to discuss it.
What is a non-endemic sponsorship? For professional anglers, that means sponsorship from a company whose products or services are not related to fishing.
Why is it important? You can greatly expand your pool of potential sponsorships by looking beyond fishing related industries.

What our Clients are saying
I have gone to Brian for several years now and couldn’t be happier. Legacy CPA is a great company with friendly and knowledgeable people. I would recommend to anyone!
Tori SmalleyI started using Brian many years ago, beginning with financial planning. After my initial experience, I decided to begin having him prepare my taxes as well, since they go hand in hand, and because my taxes could be quite complicated. Brian brings the perfect combination of ethics and legalities together for the best interest of the client. I am thoroughly satisfied.
