Perch & Zander fishing Netherlands
Chase Giant Perch & zander – Only in the Netherlands adventure!
Looking to hook into a fish of a lifetime?
The Netherlands is world-famous for producing huge Perch and Zander — and Dusk Till Dawn Fishing Experience is here to get you on the water and on the fish.
Whether you're after a trophy-sized pre-spawn monster or just want a fun, productive day catching hard-fighting predators, Captain Patrick has the experience, gear, and mobility to make it happen.
The biggest Zander and Perch are often caught in February and March, right before spawning, when the fish are heavy, aggressive, and on the move.
But don't worry — there's action year-round, and Patrick always knows where to go, whether you're local or visiting.
With a trailerable 18' Oeienbaat fishing boat, Patrick can travel to the best Zander and Perch spots in the country — or pick a location near you if you prefer to stay closer to home.
Whether it's big water like Ketelmeer, Gooimeer, or IJsselmeer, or lesser-known canals and rivers, we'll chase what's biting and what suits your style.
You'll be fishing with:
* Top-tier Westin rods
* Shimano reels (Stella, Twin Power, Vanford, Tranx)
* A stable, comfortable boat for up to 4 guests
* All lures and tackle included
No experience required —
Captain Patrick is a Westin Pro Team member and will walk you through casting, jigging, vertical, or dropshot techniques based on the season and bite.
Fishing license? Easy — you can buy a cheap Vispas online, and Patrick is happy to help with that.
Just bring:
* Snacks & drinks
* Sunglasses, weather-appropriate clothes
* Your excitement!
Your wish is my command — whether you're after numbers or a new PB. Get in touch and let's make it happen!

My fishing level is beyond beginner 👍 Patrick made learning the finer points of fishing simple, effective, and incredibly fun. Thanks to his expert guidance, I had the thrill of catching several impressive sea bass. Patrick's deep knowledge of the waters and his ability to position you perfectly make a big difference. He maximizes your chances of success while you simply cast your line 😀 and take in the breathtaking views of the endless North Sea or IJsselmeer until you catch a fish 🙌 He's a true professional with extensive knowledge and skill, and I can't wait to get back on the water with him. Thank you, Patrick! I highly recommend this experience for full-time fishermen and anyone seeking a truly unique fishing adventure in the Netherlands 😀
Thanks for the kind words brother! That was one hell of an EPIC trip!
Patryk is an expert fisherman who is easy to get along with. During our trip he used a combination of technology and good old fashioned experience to get us to where the fish were concentrated. Though, apparently the fish were not very active the day of our trip, with Patrick's help, I was still able to catch a monster 1.1m Pike!
It was great hosting you and put you on some big trophy predator fish
Patrick is a very entertaining captain, with great knowledge about the good fishing spots on the lake. NASA technology equipped boat. " New school fishing" Great day, big catch. Very recommended!!
Thanks for the kind review. I enjoyed the day as much as you guys did. great fishing. 
🤙
