🎣 The Hunt for a Perch of a Lifetime
For a full year, we roamed the biggest Dutch waters in search of that one giant perch. From cold, misty mornings to sunny, windless afternoons: testing, learning, failing and succeeding — with help from top anglers in the scene. In this film, you’ll see exactly how we refined our approach with maps, sonar, and the right techniques to catch more and bigger perch.
What you’ll learn:
Where and when big perch are active on big water
Reading maps/contours + using (Live)sonar
Practical setups: twitchbait, Carolina/Ned rig, finesse vs trigger approach
Spot selection & micro-positioning on mussel beds/rock piles/harbor entries
Tempo, pauses, and the why behind every cast
