Locations
Zander prefer murky water, drop-offs, harbours, river basins and deeper zones in lakes. Often active at dusk.

Soft plastics, dead bait (on bottom rigs), jigs and crankbaits. Robust tackle for hard hits and snags.
Season
Zander fish well from spring to late autumn; in winter often on the bottom with dead bait or soft plastics.
