N II Deep

I did a little barter with Ken and inheirted two Penn 209 reels. on the side of the reels they are missing a couple of screws. I pulled a couple more out just to see if I could match them up at the local hardware store. no luck. the thread is very close to a 4-40 thread, but the machine screws out of the reels would not fit onto a 4-40 nut. I don't think they are metric as the major o.d. is 3.095mm with a pitch @ 0.445mm Did Penn spec out a special thread? if it is special do you know of a source where I could buy? Does any one know what thread size these screw would be? I have two different length that I am missing. one is 7.45mm thread lenght that goes into the mounting frame bottom side of reel. the other is 9mm thread lenth and goes into the three cross spacer bars. any help would be great.

I have blacks, white 'glow', yellow , & green's all are mag's w/ a couple being 1's have tried sunber's but have switch to just a 50# mono leader.

now that would make a great picture with the fall colors. very cool pictures:cool:

With the help from Nailer - Ken we ran 4 divers off my boat the the first time last summer. just as you asked about. wire diver with mag ring on the inside set to 1.5 back about 100 - 150 , then the high diver was also a mag diver set to 2.5 10' rod w/ braided line back 125 to 175. seemed to work very well did not have an issue with the two getting tangled, for this spring I have my own rods, both are setup with braid, but plan to run the same way.

on the flip side you and I might land a 20+ pounder...

I left my email for you in a pm, I have a couple forms I could send you

My Signinture picture was taken by Nailer this past Aug - it was a great trip. and from underneath you feel very small...

now that's a great Idea with the cd's I think I still have a stack of AOL Cd's from a few years back. was going to shingle the house with them, but using them as flashers sounds even better.

Ken has already ordered the plastic caps. thanks for info share. Spring is almost here...

Ok, yesterday I was sitting with Ryan, watching the football game, looking at this pile of beer caps thinking could you string some of these caps together to make a lure out of them. so today at work I google beer cap fishing lures, ton's of links. Has anyone every tried to make lures out of beer caps? Did they work? http://www.bottlecaplure.com/ http://www.instructables.com/id/Beer_bottle_cap_lure/ http://rednecklure.tripod.com/

like the guy that built the sweet looking ratchet holders, I have more time than money. Plus with being an engineer at a machine shop helps, for those after hour G-jobs.

I made them from 2" 6061 Alum tube. the base was just 1/2 x 4 x 6" alum. one set was made to fit inside Bert's track. the other set will mount direct to the boat. now I thinking of adding a Rocket launcher across the top that I could mount lights to as well. We do a lot of night fishing.

Nice Work. the trees I just built just came back from Power Coat. are you going to seal yours in any way?

thanks for all of the suggestions here from the group. if I end up building something and it works I'll post it.

alwasy up for Good wings, share away.

Great shots, Spring just won't be soon enough...

Great Pic's thanks for sharing. Let's all hope for a quick spring.

Plan on Team N II DEEP making all but July 10. Same ports as last year? PS, PS, PS, Muskegon, Muskegon

Walley in a shanty must be warmer than the back of Ken's boat.

I'm game for PS. I too enjoy the night fish, cause I don't really care to get my butt out of bed. the six pack wagers sound great. But Ken should have to put up a 12 pack.

best use of this phone, e-mailing a picture of my first king to my boss from the boat last May.

I would be interested. With this being my second year I still have alot to learn. I have the Barley-pop technique down, any extra schooling on how to fish would be great.

Never had a Blackberry, but I do use a AT&T Tilt which is Window Mobile Pc system based. Internet Explorer does not stream video. I added a program / app called Skyfire. it is a Browser just like Internet explorer but has the flash player build in. you can then watch the videos that are linked through GLF and many other sites. do google seach for Skyfire. Just like Mike stated it is best if you have a unlimited data plan or use wifi

here is a picture of the new high line trees that I have been working on. so far they look really good. just need to get them powder coated and they are ready for spring. So far we are a little over 1/3 the cost of store bought welded trees.
