There is plenty of water here. The Kiel Canal lies right at the door, with the Eider river, fishing lakes and the not-too-distant North Sea all around. For quiet hours by the water the area is made for it.
One honest note first: to fish in Schleswig-Holstein you need a valid fishing licence and, for the particular water, the matching permit or day ticket. It is best to sort this before you arrive, then nothing stands in the way of your session.
