Over here on Long Island it's mostly salt water fishing. There are a bunch of striper anglers, and a big market for plugs. Every now and then, I'll steal an idea for musky or gar for use with stripers, bluefish, or fluke. I don't have anything fancy, most of my tools and machines are second hand-some free from Craig's List. My lathe and the lathe tools are from Harbor Freight. I ordered this e-book when I first started turning, I still haven't tried everything in it: http://www.woodenluremaking.com/ Turned out to be a good buy, he even gives you sources for materials and supplies.
