4.1-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 8 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 1,6 Hektar mit 0.5 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 63% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Rohrsee, 0 km Richtung Nordosten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Schmückersee, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 8 m (27 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.
Spring european perch on Schmückersee hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 8 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
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 | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (7 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline break (5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: roach sit in 0.5 to 3 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 5.5 m, and winter fish settle into 2.5 to 8 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 1.5 m of water that rates prime for roach in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a tiny spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommer | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Shoreline break (5 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Start shallow in spring: rudd sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 3.5 m; cold water stacks them in 2.5 to 8 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a tiny surface fly or a micro spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |

| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Micro jig, Tiny dry fly |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 3.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1.5 m) | Tiny surface fly, Micro spoon |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5.5 m | midday | Shoreline break (5 m) | Micro jig |
| Winter | 2.5 to 8 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 9 m | midday | Deep basin (7 m) | Tiny mormyshka |
Come spring, look for tench tight to the bank in 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 3.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 2.5 to 8 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 1.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

The chart marks 3 structure features on Schmückersee; the deepest is Deep basin at about 7 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 Schmückersee 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.

Schmückersee is about 27 ft (8 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.
Schmückersee ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 8 Meter (27 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, roach, rudd, tench on Schmückersee. 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 5 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Schmückersee 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.
