6.1-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 3 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 2,4 Hektar mit 1 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.6) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Baarssee, 1.6 km Richtung Südosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Langer See, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 3 m (10 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 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3 m, winter 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 2.5 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 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: common bream sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 1 to 3 m covers summer, 1 to 3 m covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 2.5 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 | 0.5 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) |
Come spring, look for common carp tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. Through summer count on 0.5 to 3 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 2.5 m that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Spring northern pike on Langer See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 1 to 3 m, and by winter most fish are in 1 to 3 m. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 2 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 | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Main-lake point (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 3 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 3 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 2 m, rated prime for fall roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Winter | 1 to 3 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Early season tench use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 2.5 m that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Langer See carries 3 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 2.5 m down.
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 Langer 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.

Langer See is about 10 ft (3 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.
Langer See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 3 Meter (10 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, common bream, common carp, northern pike, roach, tench on Langer 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 8 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Langer 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.
