Port of Rotterdam/Oosterschelde - Sea bass

Date: 30 July 2016
Country: The Netherlands
River: Port of Rotterdam (morning) / Oosterschelde (afternoon)
Nearest city/town: Rotterdam / Tholen
Fish: Sea trout/Sea bass
Technique: Flyfishing / Spinfishing
Gear: Flyfish rod with floating or sinking line; streamers, shrimp, nymphs / Spin rod with braided line + 35/100 nylon + softbait (black minnow)

We decided to check out this spot in the port of Rotterdam that was recommended to us by Sepp Fuchs when we coincidentally met him after fishing in Rotterdam. He was kind enough to give us a shrimp and a nymph he tied for sea trout and sea bass. Unfortunately we didn't have a single bite that morning.
We got a phone call from our friend Tom: he was going to fish for sea bass with his boat on the Oosterschelde near Wemeldinge. We were catching sea bass all afternoon and were smiling all the way back to Antwerp!
