Honestly, consistency is probably the biggest thing when you’re doing shorter campaign-style sessions like that. If you can bait the same spots regularly and keep disturbance low, you’re already putting a lot in your favor.

For night fishing especially, I’d focus on areas the fish already naturally move through instead of trying to force them somewhere totally new. Quiet spots with confidence, natural patrol routes, and consistent baiting usually beat just piling bait into random areas.

A lot of guys also overdo the bait at first. Sometimes little and often keeps them feeding more confidently than dumping loads in at once.

Sounds like a fun project for the year though. Night sessions can be ridiculously rewarding once you start piecing the patterns together.
