144.6-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 11 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 58 Hektar mit 6.8 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 77% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Röddelinsee, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Großer Mahlgastsee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 11 m (37 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch und Hecht. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Start shallow in spring: bleak sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3 to 10 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 4.5 m of water that rates prime for bleak in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, common bream run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 7.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 11 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 11 m, rated prime for fall common bream. Time it for early morning and the evening.
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 | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) |
When the water first warms, european eel slide up into 1.5 to 6 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 11 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 11 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| 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 | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 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 | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 5.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (11 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
