School Section Tank is a reservoir in Mohave County, Arizona and covers about 0.5 acres, reaches about 7.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 1.5 acre-feet.

On a water as small as School Section Tank, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity. With little deep water in School Section Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

For a first pass on School Section Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During the first hour on School Section 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.

How to Read the Water

A useful start on School Section 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.

Season by Season

A direct approach on School Section Tank works like this: 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Use this plain plan on School Section 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.

For a short trip to School Section 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.
