508-acre lake in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The lake tops out around 26 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Auf der Karte umfasst Wanzkaer See 206 Hektar hinter 17.7 km Uferlinie, mit einer Insel im Wasser. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 3.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 52% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 4.7 km, an der breitesten Stelle 2.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kirchsee, 1.6 km Richtung Süden.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (1 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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 | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 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 |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Secondary point, a point in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (5.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (1 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (24 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 7.5 to 21 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 26 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 18 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 24 m, rated prime for summer burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommer | 8 to 26 m | night & midday | Deep basin (24 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Herbst | 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |

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.
