I'm not the greatest night stalker, but what I usually do is find a big school of shad (preferably in a creek channel) and setup on top of them. The shad will come to the light and if you can catch some of them that are 1 to 2 inches long, you've most likely got it made.

The way I do it is I got a light set up that sticks up and out over the edge of the boat, this has 2 purposes. 1 to see the rod tips 2nd to keep the bugs up and away from our faces! Also I set out 2 floating lights (persoanlize prefrence), these are to draw in the bait fish. I set out 3 rods per light. Set each rod at a differnt depth, one just up off the bottom and each one a little shallower, till the start biting. Once the fish start biting set a few more poles at that same depth, and I may leave others set at differnt depths just in case they may go back deeper or shallower. Far as a location bridge piers are good, around submerged brush piles or my favorite is drop offs, where the water changes depth from about 25' to around 15' and shallower. I usally try to fish in about 13' to 20' of water. Hope this info helps you out, there are plenty of articles on this site and a few others, just punch in night stalking and they will come up. Good luck on your next night stalk, for me this is the only way to crappie fish!
Difference between day and night: Day= one rod, one jig/Night= Many rods & a bucket full of minners
