173.9-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 6 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 70 Hektar mit 4.5 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 90% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Parsteiner See, Nord, 3.2 km Richtung Nordosten.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 6 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
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 | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Serwester See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in 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 (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, bleak run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 4.5 m before dropping to 2 to 6 m for winter. Fall bleak concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 3.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon most summer days.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 6.5 m | midday | Break off the point (3.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 6 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 6 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) |
Spring european eel on Serwester See hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 6 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 6 m in summer, 2 to 6 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 6 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (6 m) |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 5.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 6 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

Serwester See is about 20 ft (6 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.
Serwester See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 6 Meter (20 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, bleak, common bream, european eel, roach, rudd, ruffe on Serwester See.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 19 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
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 Serwester 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.
