373.1-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 13 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Auf der Karte umfasst Wittwesee 151 Hektar hinter 9.3 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2.1) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 43% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Krummer See, 1.6 km Richtung Nordwesten.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season cisco (lake herring) use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 m. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 13 m, then a winter hold in 4 to 13 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 12 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic 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 | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (12 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 | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (12 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 4 to 13 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 13 m, and winter fish hold in 3.5 to 13 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 12 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (12 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 4 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 3.5 to 13 m chart-limited; documented 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (12 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 9 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |
Spring common bream on Wittwesee hold shallow, usually 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 7.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 13 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 12 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.
