101 level class for SM NIGHT FISHING LC

Heard a lot about it, but never done it! So, could use a little help. Got a Medium 7 foot rod and spinning reel. I assume I will be jigging points??? Using either a black/purple jig or (crayfish) color, with some kind ? of trailer attached to the hook? RIGHT/WRONG...SUGGESTIONS/COMMENTS....

Then, are there certain phases of the moon you should/should not fish?

What time(s) of the night/morning should you fish?

And then, what is the pattern this time of the year....in the creeks or main lake points?

Told you I was a newbe. Thanks in advance for any advice and comments.
