Fish and Baits

At Middle Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; keep the bait above soft bottom.

At Middle 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; keep the bait above soft bottom.

How to Read the Water

At Middle 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.

Season by Season

At Middle Tank, 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; keep the bait above soft bottom.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Middle 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; keep the bait above soft bottom.

At Middle 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; keep the bait above soft bottom.
