David, If you can get down this way. I am 20 minutes from west point lake.
I would be happy to show you how it is done. Big advantage at night over them little bastages. Summer is the best of times to nightstalk. I do it several different ways. One is I just fish it like a late fall or early spring day. In the same depths and places. Crappie seem to cruise at night. If you don't believe me tie a balloon to a throw back and follow it. This keeps me on top of the school without having to stay on top of it with the depth finder. Another is to tie up to a bridge in deep water and drop the lights and tightline different depths till you find them. You can also anchor on creek intersections in deep water and drop the lights. Creek or river bends are great too. Another way is to just troll baby, spider rig it with as many poles as you can handle. Just forget it is dark and troll. Those black lights will help you here and tightlining
