Matt, I would consider night fishing for the experience aspect rather than the fishing results aspect. Think of it like camping with rods. Some people enjoy it, others less so.
My guidelines are as follows: There are no prizes for being the coldest, most hungry or thirsty or uncomfortable angler on the banks at night time.
Shame, as I would win every time! I’ ve spent some horrendous nights out I can tell thee !
Worst is a toss up between the night I spent as a kid “sleeping” (& I use the term “sleeping” in its loosest sense) on a bare stone bank with no umbrella, bivvy, bedchair, warm clothing or provisons of any kind other than a cheese sandwich & attempting to roll myself into a flimsy dustbin liner to keep dry when the heavens opened.
Or the time I spent a lovely night hanging onto the ribs of my umbrella for the
entire night to stop it taking off in what appeared to be the mother of all storms and then discovered in the morning my bedchair was actually touching water which had flooded in and risen up to the top of the bedchair legs.
Tough choice ! …Oooo wait, I almost forget the February night I spent in sub zero temperatures under an open Umbrella when everything including my sleeping bag became stiff & sparkling white with ice & frost. Not a comfortable night.... did look pretty however….
