Brutal zanders in a small stream
My mate and I found a goldmine, we were fishing for pike in a small creek in Belgium. We caught a few pikes and areived to a new spot, from that moment it gone crazy we hooked a big 70+ zander and saw a couple more. Weeks of fishing there later we can say that it is one of these very special places. They’re very rare and your lucky if you find them. Anyone in here who had the same?
It’s very important to keep spots like that highly secret

Just how long are your arms? Shaped like that you could get into the weeklies with such brutal zander.

The leader I use is a fluorocarbon leader of 30/00 and the braid I use is 20/00. Be sure to use jigging (or dropshot), you have to catch them close to the bottom.
