Fish and Baits

At Grapevine Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

At Grapevine Tank, 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 stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

How to Read the Water

At Grapevine Tank, 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

Season by Season

At Grapevine Tank, 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Grapevine 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.

At Grapevine 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; use stronger line beside wood and sharp rock.
