In AZ we night fish a lot. I use 2 18" green flor submersable lights ($25 each)about 1' in the water. That brings in the baitfish, then the gamefish. Set your anchor, put out your lights and wait for the baitfish. If you don't get them up within 1/2 hour move to a different spot and try again. Fish minnows under bobbers at the edge of your light ring, say 3 or 4' down. If the bite is real lite, try a tight line. If you want to spend some bucks on your light check out thise website http://jumpingchollajigs.com/
