5.7-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 4.5 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 2,4 Hektar mit 0.6 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Großer Sternberger See, 1.6 km Richtung Norden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Ahrenssee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 4 m (14 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 4.5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 3.5 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) 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 | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 3.5 m.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Ahrenssee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

Ahrenssee is about 14 ft (4 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.
Ahrenssee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (14 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch on Ahrenssee. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 12 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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 Ahrenssee is regulated by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (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.
