on Taylorsville (or anywhere else, for that matter, in many a year).
Most of my night fishing on T-ville, has been for Bass ... and even that's been several years ago.
Most of my "post spawn into Summer" fishing trips to T-ville ... have been crack of daylight to midday timeframe trips. Then, I'm casting jigs to wood cover, on shady banks, until the shade disappears ... then casting to the "deeper" ends of blowdowns, until I stop getting hits. And, if I'm still in the mood for fishing ... I will usually do some trolling for Hybrids/White Bass. Mostly that's done with a Hot-n-tot trailing a small jig on a 18" leader. I do occasionally pick up a Crappie or two, doing that. Even get hold of some of those "cats", too :D (usually Channel Cats, though ... haven't hung into one of the "blues" yet).
If I was going to Crappie fish under lantern light ... I'd probably find a deep bank, with a good sized blowdown coming off the bank into deep water, and tie to a standing tree nearby ... drop some minnows down about 8-12ft ... and make the occasional jig cast overtop of the middle to deep end of the blowdown. Even a stand of cedar tree hulks, if they were in 15-25ft of water, might be a good alternative spot.
