We had an amazing day fishing on the IJsselmeer with Captain Patrick Van Der Wal of Dusk Till Dawn Fishing. Patrick is a skilled, professional guide who not only put us on big Perch, but also made the experience fun and memorable for the whole family—he was especially fantastic with the kids, keeping them engaged and excited throughout the trip. The boat was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped, and Patrick’s easygoing style made the day feel effortless. If you’re visiting the... More

Patrick the captain is a really pro fishing guide, as projected the weather and the right spot to maximize the catching chance and we managed to catch a few very good pikes between 5-8 kgs.His boat and gears is really pro with the advanced Garmin finder.In addition he was supportive to help us catching fish.His funny and easy going nature made our day really joyful.

The trip was great, learned a lot more about different fishing techniques and the different fish around the area. Patrick was great and taught me a whole lot about the equipment and fishing as a whole. Even though it was a slow day, we got a bunch of bites and caught a perch and had hooked into a zander.

We had a great trip with Captain Patrick!  He was very responsive and we took an Uber to meet him at the marina in Meslembik (which was super cute, by the way.) The weather was a bit windy and the water choppy to start, but Patrick took us to a nice protected area to catch fish. When the chop settle down, we went to another spot and he put us on the fish right away.  He was very knowledgeable and safe.  We had a great time! (Mom plus two teenagers.)

We went on the 7 hour trip with Patrick, and it was a pleasure from the beginning to the end. We caught some really good fish and Patrick is such a chill and nice guy. Our expectations were exceeded! We’ll definitely come back!
