235.9-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 29 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Wurlsee 95 Hektar hinter 5.5 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.6) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 20% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Oberpfuhl See, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.

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 Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in summer. 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 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 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 feeding flat in about 1 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 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 11 m before dropping to 6 to 12 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7.5 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Early season cisco (lake herring) use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 m. Expect a summer slide to 12 to 24 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 18 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 7.5 m that grades prime for winter. 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (29 m) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | dawn | Break off the point (7.5 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + 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 feeding flat at roughly 1 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 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Back-bay flat (1 m) | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | open water |

Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, cisco (lake herring), common carp on Wurlsee.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Open the map above to see every rated 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.
