76-acre lake near Goingarijp. The lake tops out around 6 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Jentjemeer maps at 76 acres behind 1.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.4 mi across. Its nearest charted neighbour, Langstaartenpoel, is 1 mi to the north.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 2 to 6 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 6 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 6 ft. The chart's best answer is Measured deep-water basin — deep basin, 6 ft, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 2 to 6 ft | dawn | Measured deep-water basin (6 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 2 to 6 ft | midday | Measured deep-water basin (6 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Measured deep-water basin (6 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 6 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 6 ft; the winter hold is 2 to 6 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Measured shallow feeding flat: a feeding flat around 4 ft 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 2 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 2 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 2 to 6 ft | midday | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season common carp use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 ft. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 6 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 6 ft.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | |
| Summer | 1 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | |
| Fall | 2 to 6 ft | midday | Measured shallow feeding flat (4 ft) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 ft | midday | Measured deep-water basin (6 ft) |
