I used to love fishing at night, caught a lot of slobs over the years, drifting eels at night. I find vision, age and the simple fact that I'm just not as driven to catch large like I was years back; put me in the 4am-noon fishing slot. I'm driven now to get my weekly dose of salt air and bend rod; but it's more about the connection now not the quest for large.
Don't believe you can't catch keepers under a hot summer sun either, I catch some nice size keepers most trips out. Yeah they might be 15-30lbers, but to me at this age and my preference for light tackle; those are nice size keepers. I remember one day a number of years back coming back into Scituate Harbor on a cooker of a day, mid-day sweating my arse off, but I always take a few last casts around the rocks just too the north of the lighthouse. Well 95 degrees, kiddy pool temperature water and a bright sun overhead; didn't seem to bother the 25lber and few slightly smaller friends I nailed on a ledgerunner. That day I've never forgotten and I don't ignore sweat shallow cover, even if it's a hot summer day.
