11-acre lake in Sweden. The lake tops out around 7 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Mårdkärret maps at 11 acres behind 0.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory.

Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 7 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 7 ft, winter 2 to 7 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 3 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 7 ft | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 2 to 7 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 2 to 7 ft | midday | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 2 to 7 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 7 ft, winter 2 to 7 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 6 ft that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 7 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 2 to 7 ft | midday | Deep basin (6 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 7 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 7 ft is the zone. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 7 ft; winter keeps them in 1 to 7 ft. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 3 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 7 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 1 to 7 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 7 ft | dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 2 to 7 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 7 ft through summer, 2 to 7 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 7 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 2 to 7 ft | dusk | Break off the point (3 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 2 to 7 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (6 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 2 to 7 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 7 ft, and they winter in 2 to 7 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 6 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 7 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (6 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 2 to 7 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 2 to 7 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (6 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
