174-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 1.5 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 70 Hektar mit 5.1 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.7) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 2.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Zieskensee, 1.6 km Richtung Westen.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 0.5 to 1.5 m. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 0.5 to 1.5 m, winter 0.5 to 1.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 0.5 m that scores prime in spring. 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 | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (1 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (1 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (1 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Malliner See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 1.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 1.5 m in summer, 0.5 to 1.5 m once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring european eel on Malliner See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 1.5 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 0.5 to 1.5 m in summer, 0.5 to 1.5 m once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 1 m that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run after dark and the evening.

| Herbst | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | night | Break off the point (0.5 m) | |
| Winter | 0.5 to 1.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (1 m) |
Spring puts roach in skinny water — 0.5 to 1.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 1.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 1.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring roach. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A tiny spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

Early season tench use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 1.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 1.5 m; winter keeps them in 0.5 to 1.5 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.

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 Malliner 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.

Malliner See is about 5 ft (2 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.
Malliner See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 2 Meter (5 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, european eel, roach, tench on Malliner 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.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 2 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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 Malliner 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.
