Been Awhile

[ifish]

Hi Folks, Have not been on here in awhile and was catching up on some threads. You guys have been busy. Nice read Sonny in In- Fisherman. Been busy trying to start a new company for fishing. Got stuck on some patent stuff but moving along now. Getting calls from the IRS is kind of weird. Trying to help me out. Wink Wink! I saw something about a top secret jig called the Auto. Any clues Sonny?LOL Try to get on here more often and see what you crazy guys are up to. Buddy

Good to see you drop in if. Saw your trolling rig - think it was in April - on cdc. How is that working out?

Yeah the Auto has been a real year around producer out here. Even got some nice fish in Lake Havasu..... Been using the chubs and the BSs when I can get out right now.

Post up some pics of your trolling rig....

Welcome back

The Auto Jig is another one of Sonnys great ties

Wow, a tackle idea worth patenting? Are you the holder or trying to work around someone elses?

Didn't realize the Auto was such an EZ tie - even I could crank some out and pose as the designer. Hmm, wonder it the tie could be integrated into a Boolie?

Getting calls from IRS is not to be trusted and can be a scam as I've been informed by a tax consultant that the real IRS will NOT Call.

LOL keith - pretty sure a boolie auto combo would have to slay.

Thnx Doug

The IRS calls are legit. Trying to get a 637 status. Excise tax on fishing tackle. I also have their badge numbers. They are trying to help me give them more money. Crazy starting anything with fishing tackle. I see a lot of people try and quit pretty soon after they see their hard work is not worth the trouble.

IRS is very thorough milking us little guys - I'm way out in the boonies with no street address mail service and an agent flew out from another island, rented a car, and visited me to do a site inspection when I applied for a 637 back in '97. I guess my initial setup - propane burner, pot & ladle, 2 molds, & coupla boxes of hooks, barely convinced him I was starting a bizness. Oh, and better figger the 10% FET into your plans.
