I've recently dove into the realm of nightfishing myself. I recommend a 3/4 ounce black spinnerbait with a big Colorado blade, a black buzz bait and above all plum apple ol monsters t-rigged. I haven't been doing it long but have got a check my last 3 times out. Those are good trial and error lures to start with. Look for brush piles around docks and such. Good luck and be safe.
