180.6-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 30 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.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 73 Hektar mit 5.1 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 37% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Elbe bei Mühlberg, 3.2 km Richtung Südwesten.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common bream in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 7.5 m before dropping to 5.5 to 14 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for common bream in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | |
| Winter | 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, roach run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 5.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 11 m for winter. Spring roach concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny spoon or a micro jig most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: white bream sit in 0.5 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 12 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for white bream in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 9 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 12 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts rudd in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 3.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 9 m. Spring rudd concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A tiny surface fly or a micro spoon covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Break off the point (5 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 3.5 to 9 m | midday | open water | Tiny mormyshka |
Ost-See also holds ruffe (3 to 9 m in summer), bleak (0.5 to 4.5 m in summer), european eel (2 to 8.5 m in summer), tench (1 to 3.5 m in summer), zander (4.5 to 11 m in summer), ide (1 to 6 m in summer), common carp (1 to 4.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
The chart marks 6 structure features on Ost-See; the deepest is Deep basin at about 29 m.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Ost-See specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Ost-See is about 99 ft (30 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.
Ost-See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 30 Meter (99 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target common bream, european perch, roach, white bream, northern pike, rudd, ruffe, bleak, european eel, tench, zander, ide, common carp on Ost-See. This isn't a survey of the lake — none is on record for it — but an informed estimate from the species listed for the nearest surveyed lakes in the region, filtered to this lake's depth and habitat.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For common bream, 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.
Fishing on Ost-See is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei). Check the official Germany regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
