29.9-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 2.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Auf der Karte umfasst Schloßsee 12 Hektar hinter 1.6 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — 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. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Schwarzer See, 1.6 km Richtung Nordosten.

Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 2.5 m through summer, 1 to 2.5 m in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
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 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 2.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1 to 2.5 m. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 1 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

| 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 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (1 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Break off the point (1 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts common carp in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 0.5 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 1 to 2.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 2 m, rated prime for winter common carp. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2 m) | |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 4.5 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (2 m) | |
| Herbst | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | |
| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) |
Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Even in summer they hold at 0.5 to 2.5 m; winter keeps them in 1 to 2.5 m. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 1 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.

| Winter | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (2 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: tench in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 0.5 to 2.5 m through summer, 1 to 2.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 2 m range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening.

The chart marks 4 structure features on Schloßsee; the deepest is Deep basin at about 2 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 Schloßsee 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.

Schloßsee is about 9 ft (3 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.
Schloßsee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 3 Meter (9 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common carp, roach, tench on Schloßsee. 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 7 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. 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 Schloßsee 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.
