It is worth starting by fishing such places. If you do not know the depth, choose a place where the fall of the lure lasts noticeably longer - this is the easiest way to \u201efeel\u201d the holes without a sonar. <strong>If you are fishing on a monotonous reservoir<\/strong>, like most channels, even the smallest depth fault or, for example, a vertical obstruction counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">Sandpipers can also be found shallower, for example, in channels that are 2 - 3.5 m. deep. If there is a hard bottom, murky water and a lot of small fish - do not hesitate to try and there. And if, in addition, there is a current there - you probably have your spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">Another important factor is the hardness of the bottom. <strong>Sandpipers love hard bottom<\/strong>, stones, concrete. Try to look for places with concrete reinforcements, rocky banks. Places with a high current (e.g. dams, sluices) often have a washed out hard bottom.  You can judge the hardness of the bottom by how the rod tip behaves after contact with the ground: on a hard bottom it straightens quickly and clearly, and on a soft bottom it reacts more slowly and \u201esoftly\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">You can additionally check both of these parameters - depth and bottom structure - for many Dutch reservoirs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesismaps.com\/socialmap\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.genesismaps.com\/socialmap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on this page<\/a> , where you'll find maps and cross sections to help you plan outings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"wp-block-product-blocks-heading wopb-block-280692  align\"><div class=\"wopb-block-wrapper\"><div class=\"wopb-heading-wrap wopb-heading-style1 wopb-heading-center\"><h2 class=\"wopb-heading-inner\"><span>Our favorite lures for zander: <\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"wp-block-product-blocks-product-slider wopb-block-b825ad  alignfull wopb-product-slider-block\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wopb-block-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wopb-slider-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wopb-product-blocks-slide\" data-slidestoshow=\"1-1-1\" data-autoplay=\"1\" data-slidespeed=\"3000\" data-showdots=\"1\" data-showarrows=\"1\" data-fade=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wopb-block-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wopb-slide-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wopb-content-section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wopb-product-title\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/go-fishing.nl\/en\/product\/wob-art-popper-mick-65-cm\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWob-Art Popper Mick 6,5 cm\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wopb-product-excerpt\">\n\t\t\t\tPowierzchniowy popper Wob-Art Mick 65 stworzony do po\u0142owu szczupak\u00f3w, boleni, okoni i kleni.
