Surface lures, fast-moving hard baits, and slim soft plastics are commonly effective. Success often depends on timing, light conditions, and reading fish behavior rather than fixed spots.

Yes. Black bass should be unhooked carefully, supported properly, and released quickly to minimize stress and ensure healthy recovery.

Perch should be handled gently and efficiently. Wet hands, appropriate nets, and quick releases help prevent damage to their protective slime layer. All perch are returned to the water following responsible catch-and-release practices.

Yes, pike perch are an allowed and commonly targeted species during the Bellyfiction event. They are an important part of the lake’s predator population and are included within the event rules, provided all catches follow the official regulations and catch-and-release guidelines.
The pike perch at Fishing Adventure Enschede are known to reach the upper size range typical for the species. Due to the lake’s depth, structure, and food availability, anglers regularly encounter mature, powerful fish that offer a serious challenge compared to average waters.
Pike perch are most active during low-light conditions such as early morning, late evening, and nighttime. However, they can also be caught during the day when anglers adjust their tactics to depth, structure, and water conditions. Understanding their behavior is key to consistent success.
Pike perch are typically caught using soft lures, jigs, and other finesse presentations that stay close to the bottom. Precision, controlled retrieves, and good hook-setting technique are essential, as pike perch often strike cautiously rather than aggressively.
All pike perch must be handled carefully and released responsibly. Proper unhooking tools, minimal air exposure, and calm handling are strongly recommended. These practices help ensure the health of the fish and maintain the quality of the population for future anglers and events.
