Goddard Tank Number One is a reservoir in Yavapai County, Arizona and covers about 0.3 acres, reaches about 6.2 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.8 acre-feet.

On a water as small as Goddard Tank Number One, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in Goddard Tank Number One, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

When choosing a bank on Goddard Tank Number One, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

The plan for Goddard Tank Number One starts here: 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

A useful start on Goddard Tank Number One is simple: do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

Before moving far on Goddard Tank Number One, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

For a first pass on Goddard Tank Number One, 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 Goddard Tank Number One, 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.
