I’m Frank van Schaik, 32 years old and I live in the center of the Netherlands, Utrecht.
Like most of us, I started fishing at a really young age with my father. Fishing for as many roach as we could or fish for pike by fishing with lures. After a couple of years enjoying this type of fishing, a friend gave me a video tape (yes, it’s a long time ago) about carpfishing. I think I watched this video a dozen times to see how they were doing this. I started fishing for carp with a float or just with a breadcrust. After I caught my first carp my addiction for carpfishing was born.
Nowadays, I’m fishing about 100 nights a year on canals and lakes. Every year I plan 2 longer trips to public waters in France. I also like to do some short trips to the north of France to fish the canals using the “hit and run” tactics.
