I believe it's the same down here

It is so relaxing - your mind just kinda winds down and really see what life is all
about. Appreciation of the little things becomes very evident.

Myself & probably couple others down here might become more interested -
Depending on where it would be held

Yes i don't understand why more people don't go at night it is so much easier and the fish are more willing to feed years ago there used to be 5 or 6 different old guys that fished east lake at night and they use to kill them i have always preferred night fishing no matter what fish iam chasing

Times change - the good old days are pretty much gone. Now you have to be
more aware of your suroundings when launching - loading - location of vehicle.
Now you always travel with a partner for many many reasons.

Most generally the larger fish will be closer to surface than others. If keep catching
small fish - you are fishing to deep. Always put 1 or 2 rods out beyond the light
coverage - be on edge of darkness - be surprised as to what hits.

count me in ! just let me know when and where. I have some green LED shrimping lights to try out on them. It should be interesting.

Used to catch a lot of fish at night but 4 fishing partners have checked out and won't go alone, got lights, poles and minnows and would like to go.--shu

Yessir, wife and I both have equalizers ready and willing. Would do everything possible not to need it including staying away from shady areas, but if the shady side wants to cross the line it aint gonna be a walk in the park.
