41.4-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Das Gewässer zeichnet 17 Hektar mit 1.8 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 83% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Röthsee, 1.6 km Richtung Süden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Großer Prälanksee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 6 m (20 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch und Hecht. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Spring european perch on Großer Prälanksee hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 2 to 6 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 5 m that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
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 (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (5 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 (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 0.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| 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 (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for european eel tight to the bank in 1.5 to 6 m. Through summer count on 1 to 6 m; the winter hold is 2 to 6 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 5 m of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in after dark and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 5.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2 to 6 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Count 5 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 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 Großer Prälanksee 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.

Großer Prälanksee 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.
Großer Prälanksee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 6 Meter (20 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, european eel, roach on Großer Prälanksee. 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 17 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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 Großer Prälanksee 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.
