As a UFX Fishing Guide, Captain Juul aims to give you the ultimate fishing experience. He's dedicated to showing you the best fishing grounds for zander and perch in Amsterdam, and share his knowledge with you.

You'll be fishing on a 16' Siegersma custom designed aluminium fishing boat, powered by a 70 HP Yamaha outboard. It also boasts an 80 LB Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor, and comes equipped with three high end Garmin Echomap screens and Garmin Livescope. There's enough room for 3 guests to enjoy the trip, so bring your nearest and dearest for a thrilling day out.

Amsterdam is famous for its great stocks of Zander and Perch, but also Pike and even Asp can be targeted successfully. Vertical jigging and dropshot fishing are effective techniques, but Capt. Juul is dedicated to casting soft and hard baits as well. Just share your preference with him and he'll make sure he gets the right tackle for your needs. Of course, he's always on hand to give advice about techniques and tactics.

You'll be fishing with top-of-the-line St Croix fishing rods of the Tournament and Elite series, equipped with Shimano Vanford and Tranx reels. When it comes to lures and soft baits, Capt. Juul uses only on the best: Megabass, Molix, Keitech, Spro, and much, much more great stuff that's waiting to be eaten.

All fishing equipment, snacks, and drinks are included in the price. If you dont have a Dutch fishing license (VISpas), you can purchase a day license on the day of fishing for only 5 euro.

UFX Fishing Guide Amsterdam is ready to give you a tour you won't see every day, so come along!

Ps note that fishing with Juul is strictly on Catch and Release basis. Another good thing to know is that in April and May we use nightcrawler only because the use of artificial baits is not allowed by law during this period. The good news is that fishing with worms is often at least as effective as fishing soft baits.

    Captain Juul Delivers!

    Extend half day peak season (6 hr) on June 12, 2025 • 1 adult

    I booked a 6-hour trip with Captain Juul for Zander and Perch. We had a great time and explored a lot of the Amsterdam canals for fish. Captain Juul’s knowledge runs deep and he brings global fishing knowledge to his clients (just ask him about some of his fishing experiences!). Caught multiple Zander using different techniques. As a bonus, Captain Juul makes a custom video of his client’s fishing experience and shares the same at the end of the trip. Tons of fun - highly recommend. First class captain, boat and equipment!

    An unforgettable fishing trip in Amsterdam with my son Alex! We had an incredible time on the water, catching plenty of Zander and even a perch. The experience was top-notch—from the stunning views to the expert guidance. The coffee and snacks on board were a perfect touch, making the day even more enjoyable. Huge thanks to Fishing Guide Juul for making this adventure so special. If you’re looking for an amazing fishing charter, I highly recommend him!

    What a trip

    Full day (8 hr) on September 16, 2024 • 1 adult

    I watched a Insta video about the fishing in Amsterdam and decided I needed to go there. I found Juul and liked what he was offering so contacted him on this site. The whole booking process was easy and communication between us was spot on. I stayed in a boat the night before and Juul picked me up from the boat. The whole day was amazing and I learnt so much, I’m experienced with fishing in the UK but he taught me a few different techniques that I’ll be using at home. The boat and equipment is top notch and as a captain and guide I couldn’t have asked for more. The fishing was fantastic and I caught not only my first Zander but also a beast of a fish. The perch were great fun and huge compared to what we get in the UK. The days catch was over 20 and I couldn’t have asked for more. I’d highly recommend a trip with Juul and I’m already checking my dates to arrange my next trip to Amsterdam but to fish for Pike this time.

    An amazing experience!

    Full day (8 hr) on June 21, 2024 • 2 adults

    Juul our guide picked us up from our canal Airbbnb houseboat via his fishing boat which was already an impressive way to start our day. We started our 8 hour day with some information on Amsterdam as we passed through the canal. He was very personable yet professional putting us at ease from the get go. I caught my first Zander just under a bridge in front of the Amstel Hotel. We then headed out to the IJ Bay where we caught more Zander and Perch. He had hot coffee for us and Stroopwafel’s. We then went to his houseboat along the canal to use the toilet and grab his rods that he uses for Pike. We headed out to the lake just off the Bay to try our luck with Pike. Unfortunately they weren’t on that day - so we headed back to the Bay and caught a lot of Zander. He showed us various fishing methods (casting and Jigging). Offering us snacks and drinks along the way. We caught more than 20 Zander and some perch. After 8 hours he dropped us back off at our houseboat. What a great day we had - Juul gave us an experience that we will never forget. Book it and you won’t be disappointed.
