  Perfect fishing trip. First time zander and CATFISH BONUS!

  Hollands Diep Predator Fishing on July 18, 2025

  Thom was an amazing fishing guide! He was incredibly friendly and professional throughout our trip. His boat was just perfect for fishing—super comfortable, fast, and loaded with all the cool gadgets you’d expect from a pro. Plus, he provided all the fishing tackle we needed. We had a fantastic day on the water, catching so many big fish! We focused on Zander, which I had never caught before, but Thom quickly found where they were hiding. With his helpful tips, I started reeling in these amazing fish. As a delightful surprise, I even landed a nice catfish! I can’t recommend Thom enough—he’s great for both seasoned anglers and those just starting out.

  Thanks so much, Marek! It was a real pleasure having you onboard — I’m glad we could make it a memorable one. You took to Zander fishing like a natural, and that surprise catfish was the icing on the cake! Really appreciate your kind words and recommendation. I always aim to create a relaxed, pro-level experience for anglers of all backgrounds, so I’m thrilled you had such a great time. Hope to see you again soon for round two!

  California Boy in the Netherlands

  I had the best day fishing with Thom. He put us on the fish from the first stop. I caught fish I had only seen in videos or pictures. This was my first time fishing for them species and they are some of the most fun fish to catch that I've ever experienced and I've caught fish out of many bodies of water. Being from California we have many options for fishing, and I've tried them all and been successful at most. This experience was one I will look back on fondly for many years. I strongly recommend fishing with UFX and Thom is the MAN! Thank you and I look forward to fishing with you again in the future.

  Mike, what a blast it was having you aboard! Grandslam within the first half hour? That’s a feat even the locals envy — you came out swinging! Knowing you usually fish the California coast from shore with lures for predatory species, it was awesome to introduce you to a whole new lineup of fish you’d only ever seen in pictures. The way you adapted and embraced the experience was just brilliant. I really appreciate the photos you're sending me of your home turf species — fingers crossed I get the chance to fish your way someday and chase down some of those West Coast legends myself. You crushed it out there, and I’d be stoked to have you back anytime. Tight lines till then!

  Top-Thom fishing guide 👍👍👊

  Haringvliet Predator Fishing on November 28, 2024

  If it is about predator fishing, there is only one adress to go to. Thom is thé perfect guide, fisherman’s friend you could wish for. Always gentle, calm and patient (also if I got stuck to the bodem for the forth time that day…), always ready with a helping hand and good advice. I have had many (🫣 addicted…) trips with him and I have ALWAYS enjoyed it. Actually, I must say that since I fish with Thom, my skills and my finesse increased a lot!! I can honestly say , without Thom, my catches would be far less. He brings you to the best spots and tells you what and how, and than … it’s up to you. What I especially also like is his attention to safety. The Hollands deep can be pretty tricky when the weather is tough…. Have safe and fruitful days on board BUT… leave some days in his agenda free for me 😉

  Staf, you legend — what a journey it’s been! It’s always a pleasure having you on board, and I really appreciate your thoughtful words. From tangled lines to tricky conditions on the Hollands Diep, we’ve definitely had our share of adventures, and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. It’s been great seeing your skills grow over the years — you put in the effort, and the results speak for themselves. Thanks for the kind review and for always bringing good vibes. Just make sure you keep a spot open in your calendar too 😉.
