Have not done the night bite for awhile but got out Sunday. Trolled and slipped corked before dark and only caught two. Fished two spots after dark and got a limit. On the second spot I saw some fish fairly shallow toward the surface. They would not take a minnow so I tried a jig and had good luck. Seems they wanted the bait moving...if they got a chance to stare at it they'd swim off. There are zillions of bait fish back in the creeks and some schools of fish around them but the only thing I can catch trolling is drum. I don't fish January and February very much so I can't speak for the fishing then, but October is by far the most confusing month for me.
