Mo,
Why can't you fish in the dark? I do it all the time.
Toss out a bass popper, give it a couple of pops, and hang on.
You can call up every bass in the pond and they'll hit without hesitation in the dark

Dudley, Here in WYO. only some waters are open to night fishing. Flaming Gorge is the only water near me that I know of, there may be some on the eastern part of the state.

While it doesn't affect whether or not I go fishing, I DO believe in the pattern dudley mentions. Also, as mentioned by fishlux, here in Ohio, we often have winds that will "swirl" or change directions. Cold front (for stillwater) conditions (north & east winds) are toughest, except as MO mentioned, & that's for crappie. When we go to the NC Outerbanks, my friends there WANT an east wind..pushes the warmer waters in closer & they despise a sustained west wind.

Dudley,
It's not that I wouldn't want to fish in the dark, it's that there's not much opportunity for me to be on the water after sunset... Wife & kids, job, church, yard work, etc. Something about the "early to bed, early to rise" I've gotten in the habit of.
The one time I did fish in the dark a little bass hit my white jig in the moonlight on the first leap and jumped onto the bank on the second leap. I never even pulled to rod to set the hook.
