Without a dependable size figure for May Tank, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
A focused trip to May Tank begins this way: the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
For the next pass on May 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.
A useful start on May Tank is simple: 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.
The early check on May Tank should stay simple: 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.
During the first hour on May 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.
One way to read May Tank is this: 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.
