X I Tank is a reservoir in Coconino 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 X I Tank makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in X I Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
During the first hour on X I Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Before moving far on X I 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
When the bite is slow on X I Tank, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Season by Season
When choosing a bank on X I 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.
A Simple Tackle Plan
The early check on X I Tank should stay simple: 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 X I Tank 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.
