Here's a very brief summary of the 2 days - 

Saturday - too windy to get on the big water so to a local river and dead-arm, it was still very rough on the big river with the added spice of some large ships adding their wake to the maelstrom. The fishing was not easy just 6 small zander between the boats, 4 pike and maybe 3 dozen perch (Rene with the drop shot caught 20 of them).

Sunday - out on the Haringvliet, it was just about fishable but the usual dozens of boats on a Sunday were absent. The waves were pretty big and belting across. We caught around 50-60 zander between the two boats but nothing over 4lb or so. The conditions were pretty extreme yet it felt remarkably safe in the big boats if a little bumpy... The conditions did make travelling across the water very difficult so we spent most of the time in just one area apart from an hour with Michel checking out another spot just 5 painful (very bumpy, skipping the waves lying on the floor of the boat) minutes across the main channel but it only produced a couple of fish.

It was exhausting, and certainly not a cheap weekend but we caught and laughed enough to make it a special experience. A bit of luck with the weather and we could easily have caught 4 times as many fish.

No good for you Matt in your portaboat if you got one there would be no room left for you to sit down.
