Hmm fishing Spruce at Night.

Let me see what I can contribute on the subject.

Helps to have multiple lines out with different bait. I am one of the few people that after I choose a spot I pretty much stick to it. If there is not bite in hour or two I still stick to the spot and 99% of the time patience pays off.

Best time to go would be after 9pm currently.

Magic hour lately been around 11pm.

There are some drop offs that you can reach from the shore if bottom fishing. You can locate them pretty easy by looking at maps and getting the feel for surrounding area.

As been mentioned since the rain last week, water level did go up. If you have waders, use them you will get access to more spots in different areas.

Medium and large live bait worked like magic for me for bass and pike.
Small bait worked fine on crappie.
Nightcrawlers worked on trout and catfish but I only got one trout so would not use that to target them.
Chicken livers worked like magic on both catfish, hybrids and white perch.

Best of luck to you.
