537.7-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 21 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Auf der Karte umfasst Großer Küstrinsee 217 Hektar hinter 14.3 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.7) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 40% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 5.5 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Mechowsee, 3.2 km Richtung Norden.

Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 6.5 to 21 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 6.5 to 21 m covers summer, 4.5 to 18 m covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 20 m of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 6.5 to 21 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 6.5 to 21 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (20 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 6.5 to 21 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, common bream slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 7.5 m game here, winter a 5.5 to 14 m one. Start at Shallow feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 3 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (3 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european eel in 1.5 to 6 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8.5 m, wintering in 5.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 5 m range, prime in winter. Time it for after dark and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | open water | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | open water | |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | night | open water | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5 m) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, roach slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 5.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a tiny spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (3 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Shallow feeding flat (5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
