Hello there, My name is Angel, and I love fishing and many other outdoor activities. I've uploaded my video's to take you along on some of my outdoor adventures here in the desert Southwest.
thank you for this info! can you or anyone reading this tell me how to remove the prop so I can make and install a weed guard? (pescador pilot) I took the cap nut off but stopped there as I'm afraid of breaking something. TIA
I’m not sure how the pescador props are fastened. If there is a nut behind the prop and one in front, then they may just be held by the compression of the nuts. But check the prop for a cross pin. If it has one, a pin punch should drive it out.
Looks like a bluegill/green sunfish hybrid. Note the orange pectorals with white stripes. That's pretty common on Apache since there are so many green sunfish there. Big sunfish, regardless!
Man these older videos of you fly fishing are gold, no hype, no selling stuff, just plain fishing.. This video coxed me into fly fishing again after many years :)
I’ve been thinking of getting back out there. I started a business. I turned a hobby of machining into a side business, and between my day job (driving a concrete mixer) and that. Fishing has gone by the wayside. I’ll get back out there. Thanks for your faithfulness.
I have a Pecador Pilot. Same drive, same prop. Only the housing for the shaft and the mount differs. I found APC five years ago, searching online for a prop. I guess the word "Pilot", made it pop up. The old prop is just now showing significant wear. Five years of saltwater fishing and sandbars. Like you say, it looks flimsy, but it ain't. Good thing I got me a backup.
Where can i find the correct hexnuts for the perception pescador pilot drive. I went to harbor freight & home depot with no luck. I know they’re 3/8, but they simply wont screw in. Thank you in advance
Sorry for the late response. But you’ll have to check the thread pitch. Most nut sizes come in various thread pithes. And then there’s metric nuts. A 10mm is similar in size to 3/8, but they are not compatible.
Very informative video. Thank you. what's that metal tag riveted on the back for? is that like a registration or something? I just got the same kayak and I've never been out kayaking before.
Can you do an actual prop removal/replacement video? I can't figure out how to get my prop off of my new helix drive and their isn't any information out there on how to. Please help.
This I know. Wilderness Systems changed the design and it is not a simple “fastened between nuts” like mine. It might be some press fit or pinned. I really don’t know because I never upgraded, which is what they suggested when I asked them for replacement props, they wanted to swap out the whole drive. You can try calling them, but they are the worst in the industry when it comes to even answering their damn phones.
@@Caughtitoutdoors Well I miss your Fly Fishing videos, because they were very realistic, and what fly fishing for panfish is about in general. No gimmicks, trying to selling crap, or bs trout hype.
Hey man great video! What size are the pedals on the drive I'm trying to change them to orange as well, I have a wilderness recon. I know the drive is a little different but are the pedals the same? Thanks
