14.9-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 11 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 Großer See 6,1 Hektar hinter 1 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 60% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Tiefer See, 4.8 km Richtung Südosten.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 10 m, rated prime for fall european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Fall northern pike concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 4.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #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 | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common carp in 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 3 to 9 m for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 10 m of water that rates prime for common carp in winter. 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 | open water | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | open water | |
| Winter | 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european eel in 1.5 to 6 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 10 m range, prime in winter. Time it for after dark and the evening.
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 | 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 3 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (10 m) |
In spring, tench run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 9 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 10 m, rated prime for winter tench. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 11 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 4.5 m, rated prime for fall zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.
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 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 (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (4.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 3.5 to 11 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (10 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 10 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 See 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 See is about 37 ft (11 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 See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 11 Meter (37 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common carp, european eel, tench, zander on Großer See. 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 33 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 Großer See 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.
