We've had them schooled up for the last month or so in a few areas that I fish . Sometimes so thick that you can't cast over them or get a bucktail below them. They move up and down in the current in huge masses. Occasionaly individuals splash on the surface or large groups fin on the surface. They are definately moving at night, but may be harder to see.

I have had best luck at night on sluggos with these conditions. Chunks seem to work, but I generally don't fish them. Interesting thing is that sometimes the school thins out. Still large amounts a bunker realtive to other times, but thinner. Bass have taken plugs readily at these times.

note: one night a coupla of us were plugging and a kayak w/ 2 guys were liveling within casting distance of us. The kayakers didn't get a fish and I alone had 6 keepers on wood and red fins. Other pluggers also took fish. Who knows...
