524-acre lake near Broaryd. The lake tops out around 18 m. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Store-Malen 197 hektar innanför 13.8 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 4 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.8) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 55% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 2.6 km, som bredast 1.4 km. Vattnet hör till Tranemo kommun. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Mörke-Malen, 3.2 km åt sydost.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Store-Malen, Sverige: ungefärliga djupkurvor ner till 18 m (59 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 11 m game here, winter a 6 to 12 m one. The chart's best answer is Creek inflow — inflow / creek mouth, 2 m, prime for spring. Best bite is the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Creek inflow (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (8 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: roach in 0.5 to 3 m. As the season builds they drop to 1 to 5.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 11 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny spoon or a micro jig gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 3 m | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Micro jig under a float |
| Sommar | 1 to 5.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tiny spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 2.5 to 8.5 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Tiny jig, Small silver spoon |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 11 m | midday | Break off the point (8 m) | Tungsten mormyshka |
Come spring, look for vendace tight to the bank in 2.5 to 9 m. They move out to 5.5 to 18 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 15 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 15 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A micro jig fished vertically or a tiny flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 m) | Micro silver spoon, Tiny white jig |
| Sommar | 5.5 to 18 m chart-limited; documented 7.5 to 20 m | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (15 m) | Micro jig fished vertically, Tiny flutter spoon |
| Höst | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (8 m) | Tiny silver spoon, Micro mormyshka |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Deep basin (15 m) | Tiny ice spoon, Tungsten mormyshka |
8 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 15 m, is the deepest of them.
