106.9-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 8 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Auf der Karte umfasst Malchower See 43 Hektar hinter 4.2 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.8) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 62% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 1.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Recken, 1.6 km Richtung Südwesten.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 8 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 7 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | 2.5 to 8 m | dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (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 |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 8 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 5 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 2.5 to 8 m. Summer keeps them at 2.5 to 8 m, and they winter in 2 to 8 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 7 m. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2.5 to 8 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (7 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m | night & midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (7 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 2 to 8 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (7 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 7 m, is the deepest of them.

Malchower See is about 27 ft (8 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart here comes from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the contours reflect measured depths.
Malchower See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 8 Meter (27 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, zander, burbot on Malchower 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 23 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 Malchower 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.
