GHENT-TERNEUZEN CANAL-Netherlands

Welcome to the Kingdom of the Netherlands! The Dutch are perhaps the luckiest people in all of Europe, living among some of the most beautiful natural landscapes you could ever imagine!
And yet, to utter surprise of any ordinary tourist, a true angling spirit would choose the highly industrialized urban mystique of the man-made Ghent–Terneuzen Canal, preferring it as a primary attraction among all the oasis-like natural tranquility. And no wonder. Constructed in the beginning of 19th century, the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal nowadays runs 660 ft wide and 20 mi long, while serving as a navigable passage for large vessels between the Dutch port of Terneuzen and the city of Ghent in Belgium. But what’s most interesting is the variety of fish inhabiting these deep murky waters: from Common Bream and European Flounder to Thicklip Grey Mullet, Ide and European Eel...just to name a few! No wonder this waterway is among the country’s main attractions for avid feeder and float anglers!

Cannot seem to get any bites.  I have tried all of the recommended baits for the fish listed on the map.  All different weather patterns, NO LUCK.  What am I doing wrong?

(my guess) try using smaller hooks between he sizes #10 - #1/0.

You need to fish in deepest part as well and botton/feeder rods are best I found as well, at least for the flat fish and other bottom feeders

Are European fish are bottom feeder because it’s very deep Aswell.

Not sure about that one, Europe is very big to be general like that, a lot are and when I go fishing it is normally off the bottom IRL, but you need to float fish close to the top for big head when in Germany though
