3,596.8-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 24 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 1 451 Hektar mit 18.5 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.4) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 69% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 6.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 3.5 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Grünewalder Lauch, 25.7 km Richtung Westen.

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 3 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 (3 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
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 Back-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 | Back-bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. Start at Secondary point. It's a point holding about 6 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (6 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Secondary point (6 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (6 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, cisco (lake herring) run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 24 m before dropping to 6 to 18 m for winter. Summer cisco (lake herring) concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 23 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 24 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (23 m) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (23 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 1.5 to 6 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 9 m game here, winter a 2.5 to 12 m one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (6 m) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Herbst | 3 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (6 m) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 2.5 to 12 m | dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
When the water first warms, common carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 3 to 9 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 3 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (3 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |

Senftenberger See is about 79 ft (24 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.
Senftenberger See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 24 Meter (79 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, cisco (lake herring), rainbow trout, common carp on Senftenberger See.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Senftenberger 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.
