One way to read Bacon Tank is this: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
The first look at Bacon Tank should cover this: begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
Use this plain plan on Bacon Tank: use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Before moving far on Bacon Tank, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
When working Bacon Tank, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
During the first hour on Bacon Tank, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
