If you are fishing breachways or rivers where the last of the outgoing is prime - then it's more tide-dependent than time. But open beaches, points, cliffs, rocky shores, sand bars - are often very good on both the incoming and the outgoing so there is flexibility.
In the summer the fishing can be good in the deep night - that's got a lot to do with the short nights. There might only be five or six hours of true darkness - sunset lingers and gray dawn arrives very early.
But as the fall progresses and the nights shortend I always found that the first few hours after dark were better than the hours between midnite and four.
All-nighters will frig you up after a while. I developed this crazy dyslexia from staying out all night - I would do things at work backwards. You'll do better all-around to pick the best time at a spot and be there well-rested, and with a job, so you can still buy eels.
