10.5-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 3.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Auf der Karte umfasst Sandsee 4,5 Hektar hinter 1 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Das gesamte Gewässer ist flacher als ~5 m — Kraut und Beutefische von Ufer zu Ufer. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Entensee, 1.6 km Richtung Norden.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Sandsee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 4 m (12 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch und Hecht. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.5 m, and they winter in 1 to 3.5 m. Fall european perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 3 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 | Break off the point (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 3.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 3.5 m. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 2 m, rated prime for fall northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

| 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 3.5 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 3.5 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 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for common bream tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Through summer count on 1 to 3.5 m; the winter hold is 1 to 3.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 3 m that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 3.5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (3 m) |
In spring, crucian carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 3.5 m before dropping to 1 to 3.5 m for winter. Fall crucian carp concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 2 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

The chart marks 3 structure features on Sandsee; the deepest is Deep basin at about 3 m.
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 Sandsee 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.

Sandsee is about 12 ft (4 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.
Sandsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 4 Meter (12 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, crucian carp on Sandsee. 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 10 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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 Sandsee 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.
