341-acre lake near Greig. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Brantingham Lake draws 310 acres inside 5.6 miles of shoreline — 2 islands included. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 18% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.1 mi with a 1-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Stony Lake, 6 mi northeast of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: largemouth bass in 2 to 10 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 20 ft before dropping to 15 to 35 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a feeding flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for largemouth bass in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (12 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (12 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (50 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
Early season rock bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Summer is a 5 to 20 ft game here, winter a 12 to 30 ft one. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 27 ft, good for fall. Best bite is the evening. Tie on a ned rig (small) or a marabou jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | open water | 1/16 oz jig + grub, Small inline spinner |

Summer brown bullhead concentrate at Shallow feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 12 ft. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | night & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (12 ft) | |
| Fall | 5 to 15 ft | dusk | Shallow feeding flat (12 ft) | |
| Winter | 10 to 25 ft | midday | Deep basin (50 ft) |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 15 to 45 ft. Summer is a 15 to 50 ft game here, winter a 15 to 50 ft one.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (50 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
