715.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 288 Hektar mit 8.4 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.4) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.7 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Grössinsee, 3.2 km Richtung Norden.

When the water first warms, asp slide up into 0.5 to 3.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 3.5 m, winter 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 0.5 m that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | see map |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | see map |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 9 m | midday | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | see map |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 12 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | see map |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: bleak in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 3.5 m before dropping to 1 to 3.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 2 m of water that rates prime for bleak in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for fall common bream. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Come spring, look for european eel tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3.5 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.

Spring european perch on Blankensee hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3.5 m in summer, 1 to 3.5 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Back-bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

Come spring, look for ide tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

Blankensee is about 12 ft (4 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Blankensee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target asp, bleak, common bream, european eel, european perch, ide, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, wels catfish, white bream, zander on Blankensee.
Main-lake point is the top-rated area: a point in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for asp in summer. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For asp, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Blankensee is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei). Check the official Germany regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
