Before changing spots on Nat Tanks, 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.
The early check on Nat Tanks should stay 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.
During the first hour on Nat Tanks, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
One way to read Nat Tanks is this: 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 direct approach on Nat Tanks works like 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.
