521-acre river near Bergen op Zoom. The river tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 523 acres of water rimmed by 14.4 miles of bank. A development index of 4.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 37% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 5 mi long by 1.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. The nearest mapped water is Bathse Spuikanaal, 1 mi to the northwest.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 28 ft, and winter fish settle into 12 to 33 ft. The spot to know is Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 10 to 33 ft | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 33 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 33 ft. The spot to know is Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 9 ft of water that rates good for zander in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Summer | 10 to 33 ft | dusk & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Fall | 10 to 33 ft | dusk & night | open water | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 2 to 8 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 20 ft before dropping to 5 to 15 ft for winter. The spot to know is Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 2 to 10 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 15 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 30 ft. Measured shallow feeding flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for spring common carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | |
| Summer | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (9 ft) | |
