A rare chance to book a 5‑hour zander session in January and February, Monday to Thursday. An exception I only offer in winter

A calm, sunny winter day on the Hollands Diep delivered solid, hard‑hitting strikes and unexpectedly intense moments. Still conditions, bright light and predators that committed without hesitation.

The LFG Legends Tournament 2025 is decided. John takes first place with a 118 cm pike, Jorn follows with an 87 cm zander, and Alex secures third place with a 50.8 cm perch. These three fish delivered the highest scores of the year.

In winter, zander respond brutally well to the long line. By keeping your lure hovering just 5–10 cm above the bottom and covering water fast, you’ll trigger strike after strike.

Annual Predator Fishing Report 2025 This year showed how strongly reality can deviate from long‑term averages. With only 1,379 fish by the end of November, the tally fell far short of peak years like 2023 and 2024. Pike and perch were disappointing, while zander saved the season with more than 1,000 catches. Bonus fish were scarce, yet the chance of a trophy pike or big perch remains significant. Book your trip now and experience the recovery up close!

Zander fishing on the Hollands Diep with guide Thom Prüst Roofmeister joined me on a water famous for big zander—but it’s never a guaranteed catch. We started deep, then moved to a shallow, rocky edge and switched to casting shads. Watch the video to see how we cracked the code.
