What light do you have? What lakes are you planning on fishing?
Really, there's not much to the light thing in and of itself. Pick a spot, drop anchor, drop light.
Or, drop light and slow troll til you hit on a school and then drop anchor. This worked well for us on Bartlett a few weeks back.
You can always do Pleasant and try for some stripers too. That's a lot of fun.
Anyway, location has a lot to do with it as well as night conditions. It's not usually a great time to gather plankton and shad when competing with a bright (full) moon. If it is overcast then that can help but please be careful in the monsoon season. Storms whip up quick out here.
