162.3-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 26 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Kaardil katab Jõksi järv 66 hektarit, kaldajoont 5.8 km. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 2). Umbes 33% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 2.1 km, kõige laiemas kohas 0.5 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Lõõdla järv, 16.1 km lõunasse.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 5 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Suvi | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Sügis | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talv | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 26 m before dropping to 4.5 to 18 m for winter. Summer burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 25 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

| Kevad | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Suvi | 8 to 26 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (25 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Sügis | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Talv | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
