Fishing Areas & Specialisms

Pelagic Catfish - Hunting River Monsters in Open Water

This is next-level predator fishing. Pelagic fishing for European catfish means tracking giants in open water — using high-end sonar, pinpoint boat control, and raw nerve. Goran Krnjic is the specialist in this game, guiding anglers to the biggest freshwater predators in the Netherlands.


With Garmin LiveScope and PS30, Goran scans the depths of the Hollands Diep, Haringvliet, Beneden Merwede, Oude Maas, Nieuwe Maas and Noord — adjusting location and timing based on tide, season and guest preference. Once the fish is located, it’s up to you to drop the bait and trigger the bite.
 

Specialisms:
•     Pelagic fishing for Wels catfish (1.5–2.3m+)
•     Softbait and worm tactics depending on season
•     Real-time sonar tracking and bait presentation

 

Why it matters:
Catfish don’t play. They hit hard, fight dirty, and test every part of your setup. Goran’s boat, gear and guidance form a precision system — but the final moment is yours. Hook up, hold on, and land a fish that might be bigger than you

Pelagic Pike & Zander - Precision Fishing in Open Water

This is where sonar meets instinct. Pelagic fishing for pike and zander is all about tracking individual fish in open water — reading their behavior in real time and presenting the perfect lure at the perfect depth.


Goran Krnjic is UFX’s pelagic specialist, guiding anglers to big, solitary predators using Garmin LiveScope and PS30. Whether you’re chasing a 90+ zander or a meter+ pike, this style demands focus, finesse and fast decisions.
 

Specialisms:

  • Pelagic fishing for zander and pike with softbaits

  • Real-time sonar tracking and vertical presentation

  • Fishing deep water zones with precision and patience

Why it matters:
Pelagic fishing is not about numbers — it’s about moments. One fish, one screen, one strike. When it happens, it’s unforgettable.
