Years ago, I caught a scup the size of a dinner plate in the Canal while dunking worms for bass. So at least one of them fed at night
People claim bonito and albies don't feed at night, too. Back in the days I used to go on night bluefish head boats, I saw plenty caught on bait.
Scup are a favorite striper snack---maybe they come inshore when the bass head for deeper water as it gets lighter
