WA state night fishing

Missouri has a 3 rod limit

Sorry buddy - NO LIMIT on number of rods in KY !! Be that as it may ... I rarely use more than 3 (when drifting or tightlining), and usually only use one at a time (casting).
If you can't use minnows ... can you use ANY living critters (like Shad or shrimp or other fishes ) ?? If not - I suggest using a 1.5 - 2 inch tube or grub on a 1/16oz jighead (preferably weedless) ... fluorescent line ... and a "black light" -- casting to blowdowns, docks, standing timber, and any other cover that you would normally fish during the day. Of course, this is going to be a "warm weather time" type of fishing. Slow trolling jigs on the outside edges of standing timber fields, and/or along creek channels might be another approach to consider.
You might also consider using jigs - even when using a lantern light (or elec 12V type) ... just cast beyond the "edge" of the lighted water, and on the "dark side" of the boat. If your light draws minnows or Shad to it ... try my "Vertical Casting" method - either on the "edge" of the lighted water OR even right up thru the middle of the lighted area and schooling baitfish. If you want a "tutor" on "Vertical Casting" ....... check out this link:

Please do give us reports on your trips ... and don't hesitate to ask for more "methods" to use. ...........luck2ya ..........cp
