From my experience, the best time seems to be about 2 hours after sunset till about an hour before sunrise. But during the spawn, I have better luck from sunrise till about noon. 90% of my night shooting is from dark till about 2am like you do.
We usually get on the water about a hour before sunset and shoot till 6am and have noticed we do most of the shooting on feeding fish based on the times the lunar clocks and such. We still see/shoot fish not at peak times but theyre usually held up in weeds and not active. Usually during peak times we catch the big gar out cruising off creek mouths and points.
Never thought to mention the lunar clock. Moon rise and moon set are always a good time for fish movement.
