2,204.3-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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Das Gewässer zeichnet 889 Hektar mit 22.5 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2.1) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 40% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 5.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 3.7 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Wesensee, 3.2 km Richtung Südwesten.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 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. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| 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 (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Parsteiner See, Süd hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 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 and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 11 m game here, winter a 6 to 12 m one. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 0.5 m of water and rates good come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (8 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4.5 to 14 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 12 to 27 m, wintering in 7.5 to 21 m. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 28 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (8 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | Deep basin (28 m) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (0.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (20 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts cisco (lake herring) in skinny water — 3 to 12 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 12 to 24 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Summer cisco (lake herring) concentrate at Deep basin, a good-rated deep basin around 28 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (28 m) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Break off the point (20 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 7.5 to 21 m. Expect a summer slide to 9 to 30 m, then a winter hold in 4.5 to 18 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 28 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
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 | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (20 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 9 to 30 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (28 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (20 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (20 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
