4.4-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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 1,6 Hektar mit 0.5 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 93% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Schünsee, 0 km Richtung Süden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Krebssee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 6 m (20 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Karpfen und Hecht. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 5 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
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 (3.5 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 |
Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 2 to 6 m. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 5 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
Come spring, look for common carp tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 4.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 5 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | open water | |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) | |
| Winter | 2 to 6 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (5 m) |
When the water first warms, crucian carp slide up into 0.5 to 3 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 4.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 2 to 6 m. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 3.5 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Spring european eel on Krebssee hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 6 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 6 m in summer, 2 to 6 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 5 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

Spring northern pike on Krebssee hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 3.5 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| 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 (3.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3.5 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 |
Krebssee also holds roach (1 to 5.5 m in summer), tench (1 to 3.5 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 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 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.
Krebssee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 6 Meter (20 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, common bream, common carp, crucian carp, european eel, northern pike, roach, tench 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 17 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.
