Calm nights you could find'em scattered on shallow flats in 6 feet of water. Bandit 200's worked pretty good. Moon phase did not seem to affect the fishes that much. I had a lot of fun with this till I wound up in the drink one night and the boat ran off and left me. Let us know how it works for you

Can't agree with you more! Personally, only thing I would do different is to not pull cranks, if on Grenada or Sardis. I would work the timber spider rigging minnows and jigs with a black light shining on the ends of my poles. Hi-vis line will look like #2 pencils running through the guides. Haven't tried it, but bet it would work. Beats hanging $35 worth of baits on a gill net. I just like to fish slow, especially at night.
