Jim Bennett Tank

Jim Bennett Tank is a reservoir in Yavapai County, Arizona and covers about 1.2 acres, reaches about 9.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 5.1 acre-feet.

The small size of Jim Bennett Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Jim Bennett Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

At Jim Bennett Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

A direct approach on Jim Bennett Tank works like 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

While fishing Jim Bennett Tank, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

For the next pass on Jim Bennett Tank, 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

To narrow down Jim Bennett 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.

A useful start on Jim Bennett Tank is simple: 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.
