On the banks of the Haringvliet, where the water gently laps and the horizon is lit up by the first rays of the sun, a lively scene of fishing boats and eager competitors gathers. The morning starts early for the fishing competition, with boats being launched one by one from the ramp. The sky is a palette of warm shades of orange and pink, reflected in the smooth surface of the water, creating a serene atmosphere that contrasts with the excitement of the fishermen.
The boats, equipped with rods, nets and electronic equipment, are ready to take to the water. Fishermen, clad in warm jackets and full of anticipation, prepare their equipment as they plan for the perfect catch. The ramp acts as a focal point of activity, where boats glide smoothly into the water, leaving a trail of waves.
The sunrise adds a magical dimension to the event. As the sun climbs higher, birds in the area wake up and the light reflects on the glistening water. The Haringvliet is not only a place of competition, but also of connection with nature and community. A morning full of energy, beauty and the promise of a good catch.
