I've only ever encountered zander by accident when spinning for pike in the fens. There is a couple of large lakes nearby that hold zander and I'm looking for any tips on fish location and methods for deadbaiting.
During daylight look for dark cover such as overhanging trees/bushes failing that any deeper parts of the lake. fish late evening into dark. use fresh deads if you can and bite indication that gives little resistance.
If you want a mobile approach, 3-5 inch shads are a good way to go. Typically, they're a fry chasing fish so imitate a lone small bait fish in likely looking spots. Doing this, you can cover loads of the water to find them. They're more than up for chasing a rubber lure, and will let you work the shallows quickly.
Which Lakes are these? Do you have a location
