7.2-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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 2,8 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 Hofsee, 1.6 km Richtung Osten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Krebssee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 4 m (14 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Karpfen, Hecht und mehr. 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. Summer is a 1 to 4.5 m game here, winter a 1 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 3.5 m, prime for fall. Best bite is 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 | Shallow bay flat (0.5 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 |
Early season common carp use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 4.5 m, then a winter hold in 1 to 4.5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
When the water first warms, european eel slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 4.5 m, winter 1 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3.5 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 6 m | dusk & night | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 8.5 m | night & dusk | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

| 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 | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 4.5 m, wintering in 1 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |

| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Shoreline break (1.5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
When the water first warms, tench slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. Summer is a 1 to 3.5 m game here, winter a 1 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.

Krebssee also holds zander (1 to 4.5 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
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 Krebssee 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.

Krebssee 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.
Krebssee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (14 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, common carp, european eel, northern pike, roach, tench, zander on Krebssee. 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 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 Krebssee 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.
