Fish and Baits

At George Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; add vibration in stained water.

How to Read the Water

Use this plain plan on George 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

One way to read George Tank is this: spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At George 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; add vibration in stained water.

At George 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; add vibration in stained water.
