Coarse fishing is the ideal way to get acquainted with angling. Whether you start with a fixed rod and a piece of bread, or you are an advanced angler using a method feeder or pellet waggler, catching coarse fish remains fun and challenging. At De Goeie Vangst you will find everything you need to successfully fish for bream, roach, tench, and other coarse fish species – from rods to floats, from bait to seat boxes.
Popular coarse fish species in the Netherlands and Belgium
The most common coarse fish species in our waters are undoubtedly bream and roach. But tench, chub, dace, and even small carp (F1 carp) also fall under the category ‘coarse fish’. They are found in ditches, canals, lakes, and rivers, making coarse fishing accessible and easy to start. Often, a simple setup and some maggots or corn are enough to get going.
Coarse fishing with modern techniques
Although classic fixed rod fishing is still popular, many modern methods are available today. Feeder fishing is perfect for longer distances and deep waters. With a feeder cage, you deliver bait and feed exactly to the right spot. The method feeder is a further development of this, with a compressed bait ball around the lead for extra attraction – ideal for heavily fished ponds.
Float techniques have also evolved with the times. Match rods and pellet waggler floats make it possible to fish with great precision and at a distance, even in windy conditions. These techniques are favorites among competition anglers and coarse fishing enthusiasts who want to get the most out of their session.

At De Goeie Vangst we have a huge range of coarse fishing gear. Whether you are a beginner or a passionate competition angler, you will find the right equipment with us.

Fishing for coarse fish all year round
Coarse fishing can be done all year round, but each season requires a different approach. In spring, the water warms up and fish become active and greedy – the perfect time to fish shallow spots. In summer, the days are long and fish activity is high, especially in the early morning and evening hours. In autumn, fish gorge themselves for the winter, often making catches spectacular. In winter, fish stay deeper and are slower, but with patience and fine gear you can still be successful – especially in commercial ponds with a large fish stock.
Coarse fishing competitions
For those who love competition, coarse fishing tournaments are the way to measure yourself against other anglers. Whether it’s a club match or a national championship, the right technique and preparation make the difference. Fixed rod, feeder, or match rod – everything is possible as long as you know how to use your equipment. These competitions are not only exciting but also a great way to develop yourself as an angler.
