1,146.6-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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Gülper See 462 Hektar hinter 12.7 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 3.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Untere Havel von Grütz bis Garz, 8 km Richtung Nordwesten.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 3.5 m before dropping to 1 to 3.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
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 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: asp in 0.5 to 3.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 3.5 m through summer, 1 to 3.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for asp in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Early season bleak use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 3.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 1 m, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon and you're in the game.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 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 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 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 3.5 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3.5 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |

| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Early season common bream 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. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 3.5 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Gülper See 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.
Gülper See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target northern pike, common carp, asp, bleak, burbot, common bream, european eel, european perch, ide, roach, rudd, ruffe, tench, white bream, zander on Gülper See.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For northern pike, 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.
