Theres some very good info here, in my mind the best point being that sight is not always as important as we may think. And second, the species of fish targeted will play a big role. As mentioned, active fish at night will depend on species. Predator fish that have an advantage over they prey at night will be active. There have been tons of studies done on the activity levels of various fish at night. Some species become active, some just rest on the bottom until light penetrates the water again enough for them to move about and hunt safley and effectivley. But if you do go out at night there has been some good info posted, if you can enhance the fishes ability to see the lure, backlighting, or enhanced light from a lure, and if you can give the fish some scent, and some noise to help locate the lure, your odds will increase.
