319.9-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 5 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1.5 to 5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 5 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m | midday | Deep basin (4 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |

In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1.5 to 5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
