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... Meer

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.

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.

I had an amazing day with Patrick! He knows all the best fishing spots and gave excellent advice throughout the trip. The equipment and the boat were top-notch – everything you need for a great fishing experience. I highly recommend him! If I come back next year, I’ll definitely go again. Thanks, Patrick
