112-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Das Gewässer zeichnet 45 Hektar mit 5.5 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.3) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 85% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Pinnower See, 8 km Richtung Südwesten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Göhlensee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 8 m (27 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht und Zander. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 7.5 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Secondary point (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 8 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 7.5 m of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (7.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Structure-wise the chart holds 7 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 7.5 m.

Göhlensee is about 27 ft (8 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.
Göhlensee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 8 Meter (27 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander on Göhlensee.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 24 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Göhlensee 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.
