You want to pick lures based on vibration. They will use the lateral line a bunch more at night and dark colors to get better visuals. I like single blade spinnerbaits, lipless cranks, diving crankbaits and rattlin jigs. But my go to big bass bait at night is a 10.5 worm with a bullet sinker, glass bead, 6/0 hook texas style.
Colors I tend to stick with crayfish patterns or blue/black. Under full moons late spring on thru summer crayfish molt/hatch and fish notice. A burnt orange jig w/olive craw trailer has been real good for me this year on Old Hick.
Live bait is real hit or miss due to the fish can't see them. But...they eat the real things at night when your not fishing for them.
Fish anywhere with an access to deep water or along deepwater points with cover. Keep an eye on moon phases. Moonset/rise will have same effect on fish as sun especially on big moon night due to angles of light penetration.
Good luck be safe, Jim.

I just bought some 10 inch worms to try out. I am thinking one rod with the big worm, one with a spinnerbait, and one with a buzzbait. I will hit the obvious shallow spots and then move to the channel breaks if they are not shallow.
Do you have much trouble with other boats when one the main channel at night?
