1. Make a Figure 8 in the water with the light from a flashlight

2. a rattleing crayfish rapala

3. I would use a plastic bait called a Paca Craw made by Netbait,. Get the baby Paca in the Alabama craw color. Use a 3/16 oz bullet weight and a 3-0 wide gap hook. Texas rig, with a glass bead between your sinker and knot. I would also use a 3/8 oz triple rattle back jig with a Zoom super chunk.Black and blue for the jig and blue flake for the chunk. You can also use a Bomber 7 A crankbait, in what I call a stoplight red craw pattern. When using the crankbait at night, do not use the usual stop and go retrieve, keep a steady retrieve so the big small mouth will home in on the rattle in the Bomber..
You will catch some super size Large mouths with these same baits at night on Cumberland as well.
Have a great time.

4. a black worm or a dark color lure and fish in the moon light because thats where the bass will be looking for siloets(shadow) i dont know how to spell that.
but any way they will be watchig for the shadows of their prey and when they see something that looks good...whomp!
