Hoodoo Tanks is a reservoir in Yuma County, Arizona.

Use the shape you can see at Hoodoo Tanks: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Keep the first check on Hoodoo Tanks simple: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

One way to read Hoodoo Tanks 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

Before moving far on Hoodoo Tanks, 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

On Hoodoo Tanks, 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

When working Hoodoo Tanks, 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.

To begin fishing Hoodoo Tanks, 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.
