Duncan Tank

Duncan Tank is a reservoir in Mohave County, Arizona and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 5.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.6 acre-feet.

Duncan Tank is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Duncan Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

For a first pass on Duncan Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

One way to read Duncan Tank is 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.

How to Read the Water

For the next pass on Duncan 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.

Season by Season

A direct approach on Duncan Tank works like this: shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

The plan for Duncan Tank starts here: 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.

Before moving far on Duncan 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.
