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 took us out to fish for Perch, Zander and Pike near Haarlem. We got all the species on our hooks during the half day trip. He has advanced sonar equipment on board and happily explained us how it all works, which was very interesting. The fishing tackle provided was of fine quality. We were guests on his boat as a family and can absolutely recommend Patrick as guide.

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!

Toller Tag auf dem Wasser! Wir haben viele verschiedene Spots erkundet, der Guide war engagiert und kompetent. Ein wirklich schöner und erfolgreicher Angeltag.

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.
