Getaway Tank is a reservoir in Grant County, New Mexico.

Use the shape you can see at Getaway Tank: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

To begin fishing Getaway 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 Getaway 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 Getaway Tank, 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

When working Getaway 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

For a first pass on Getaway 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.

The early check on Getaway Tank should stay simple: 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.
