56.2-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Auf der Karte umfasst Schönhauser See 23 Hektar hinter 2.4 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.5) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 0.8 km, an der breitesten Stelle 0.3 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Demenzsee, 6.4 km Richtung Osten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Schönhauser See, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 5 m (17 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Flussbarsch, Hecht, Karpfen und mehr. Die Tiefenlinien basieren auf echten Vermessungsdaten (Seenvermessung des LUNG Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). Als Orientierung nutzen, niemals zur Navigation.
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 1.5 to 5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 5 m. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4.5 m of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 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 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 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 1.5 to 5 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 0.5 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season common bream use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 1.5 to 5 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 5 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 4.5 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | |
| Sommer | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2.5 m) | |
| Herbst | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) | |
| Winter | 1.5 to 5 m chart-limited; documented 5.5 to 14 m | midday | Deep basin (4.5 m) |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 3 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 1 to 4.5 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring common carp. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Spring puts european eel in skinny water — 1 to 5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 5 m, and winter fish hold in 1.5 to 5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4.5 m, rated prime for winter european eel. Plan around after dark and the evening in the warm months.

Spring roach on Schönhauser See hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 3 m. They move out to 1 to 5 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 5 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a tiny spoon or a micro jig.

Schönhauser See carries 5 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 4.5 m down.
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 Schönhauser See 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.

Schönhauser See is about 17 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.
Schönhauser See ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 5 Meter (17 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.
Anglers target european perch, northern pike, common bream, common carp, european eel, roach, rudd, tench, zander on Schönhauser See. 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 14 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 Schönhauser See 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.
