AAA Tank

AAA Tank in Eddy County is a reservoir in New Mexico and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 1.8 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.2 acre-feet.

AAA Tank is light water, so a careful lap around the shoreline can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in AAA Tank, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Before changing spots on AAA Tank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

While fishing AAA 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

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

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 light depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

The early check on AAA 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.

The plan for AAA Tank starts here: 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.
