Rating depth structure for european perch.

170.7-acre lake in Brandenburg, Germany. The lake tops out around 4.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Auf der Karte umfasst Maxsee 69 Hektar hinter 5.6 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.9) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 1.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Liebenberger See, 3.2 km Richtung Westen.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Maxsee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 5 m (15 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch und Karpfen. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des Landesamts für Umwelt Brandenburg). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1 to 4.5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
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 | Back-bay flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for cisco (lake herring) tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Through summer count on 1.5 to 4.5 m; the winter hold is 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 4.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic is the honest summer answer here.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 12 to 24 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Herbst | 1 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (0.5 m) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m chart-limited; documented 6 to 18 m | dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: common carp sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 4.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

The chart marks 6 structure features on Maxsee; the deepest is Deep basin at about 4.5 m.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the MLEUV Brandenburg (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Maxsee specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Maxsee is about 15 ft (5 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.
Maxsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 5 Meter (15 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, cisco (lake herring), common carp on Maxsee.
Back-bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. 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 Maxsee is regulated by the MLEUV Brandenburg (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.
