802.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 13 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 323 Hektar mit 15.9 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 43% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 5.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Zernsee, 3.2 km Richtung Nordosten.

Spring european perch on Großer Plessower See hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| 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 | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Großer Plessower See hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 4.5 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 12 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 12 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Deep basin (12 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: bleak in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 4.5 m, wintering in 3 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 2 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow feeding flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (2 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 4 to 13 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 13 m, winter 3.5 to 13 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 12 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
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 | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 3.5 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Spring puts common bream in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 7.5 m, wintering in 4 to 13 m. Winter common bream concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 12 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
