225-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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 91 Hektar mit 4.5 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — 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 1.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Havel bei Ketzin, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.

Spring puts bleak in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 3.5 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for fall bleak. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.
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 | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 3.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 3.5 m through summer, 1 to 3.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 3 m of water that rates prime for common bream in fall. 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 m) |
Early season european eel use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3.5 m. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 3 m, prime for winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (1.5 m) | |

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) |
Come spring, look for european perch 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. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 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 1 to 3.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 3.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 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.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 3.5 m before dropping to 1 to 3.5 m for winter. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

Göttinsee carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 3 m down.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Göttinsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Göttinsee 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.
Göttinsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target bleak, common bream, european eel, european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, wels catfish, white bream on Göttinsee.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for bleak in fall. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For bleak, 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 Göttinsee 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.
