well here is an ideai or two
Try to use a lot of scent and be sure to put more on every thime you cast I know it sounds like a pain but it works most of the time
And if you can find a flash use that to light up you glow ball or what ever you use

------------------
Work is for people who dont know how to fish

Fish will be lethargic in complete darkness (no moon). One of the tricks used to get fish to be responsive in darkness is to use a lantern to generate enough light so fish can see enough to move around comfortably. Sometimes this trick can be used by pointing your truck lights into the water. Then use a glow in the dark bobber fished/with eggs in the edges of your personal moonlight

Shhhh or Jen will put up stadium lights at her house.

I'm a fellow strober. If there on the move stick tight to the shore line. And as your aware don't strobe by the water. I've seen guys in the Valley glo ballin and it looks like a lazer light show at the rivers edge. Work them tailouts. I don't fish with a bobber the hour before official sunrise. I do a mooching rig and put two luminous corkies in betwwen and lighten up the weight and stick tight to that shore.
