Go After Dutch Trophy Pike – Wherever You Are

Join Dusk Till Dawn Fishing Experience and discover why the Netherlands is one of Europe's top destinations for Pike fishing. With a vast network of lakes, rivers, and canals, there's always a hotspot nearby — and Captain Patrick is ready to take you there.

Whether you're staying in Amsterdam, the countryside, or elsewhere, we'll find a productive location close to you — or head to Captain Patrick's favorite central waters like Ketelmeer, Veluwemeer, or Gooimeer. These areas consistently produce big, aggressive Pike and offer stunning natural surroundings to match.

Your guide, Captain Patrick, is a seasoned angler and Westin Pro Team member.

With years of experience and access to high-end gear, he'll help you target Pike, Zander, Perch, and more — but Pike is always the main event.

You'll fish from a comfortable, stable 18' Oeienbaat boat, fully equipped for 1–4 anglers with:

Westin rods
Shimano reels including Stella, Twin Power, Vanford, and Tranx.

Patrick specializes in casting soft and hard baits — a fast-paced, visual technique that often delivers explosive strikes. If conditions change, jigging or dropshotting are also effective and available.

Expect more than just great fishing — these waters are home to incredible wildlife and scenery, making every outing a full outdoor experience.

What to bring:

Snacks & drinks
Weather-appropriate clothing
Sunglasses & sunscreen
A Vispas (fishing license) – easily available online (ask Patrick for help)

Let's plan your ideal Pike adventure — whether it's near Amsterdam or out in wild waters.

Your dream catch is just a cast away.

Es war ein großartiger Ausflug!
5.5 Hour Trip on August 14, 2026 • 1 adult

Kapitän Patrick hat mich pünktlich am vereinbarten Treffpunkt abgeholt, wir machten das Boot startklar und dann ging's los. Haben viele tolle Spots angefahren und hatten viele gute Fische auf dem Bildschirm. Fingen dann zwei super Zander, Barsche und Hecht mit über einem Meter!! Obwohl die Bedingungen nicht ideal waren, da es sehr heiß war, hat Patrick das abolute Maximum an diesem Tag rausgeholt! Patrick ist ein super Typ mit dem man einfach auskommt, hat eine riesige Erfahrung bei dem was er tut und bringt einen locker und entspannt zum Fisch. Danke für diesen tollen Trip!

Reported catch:
Pike Perch (Zander)
Northern Pike
European Perch

Captain Patrick is a 30 year-old professional angler with experience to fish in all the rivers and lakes. His favorite fish to go after is Pike because he enjoys the chase. As an avid nature lover, he spends most of his time out in the water sharing his knowledge with his guests, family and friends. Don't let his young appearance fool you, he knows where to find the fish and how to catch them, this is his passion after all. His motto is: 'Never stop the chase!'
