3-the drug runners will get ya.
4-the marine federales will think your a illegal panga or a drug runner n confiscate you and the boat
5-you'll hit a whale shark....sink n drown
6-the winds come up...now you'd wish the pangas or drug runners would get ya.
7-humbolt squid are active...BIG ONES ! and you have a "not big enough" boat
8-cant see orange t-shirts at night...(floating,powerless,in the middle of the bay),(with the handheld,non-waterproof vhs taking a saltwater bath)

As it has already been mentioned the beach can be a lot of fun to fish at nite! we fished Gonzaga and BOLA for years.
Nite time gives the fish cover they don't have other wise it can get really crowded on the beach where there is a light,just find a sandy section and a few rocks is even better,one or 2 coleman lanterns work great,now cover half the lens with al foil that will let you direct the light and keep it out of your eyes.
Corvina love nite,lite, sand and Sara Spooks, you will get a shot at larger fish at nite, small WSB will mix with the corvina sometimes and join the party.

You may get a other visitor also and that's the Tax Man they love those conventions

The northern gulf use to be chucked full of those guys,anyway fish the outside of the lights on the edges that's where they will hold.........let me know how things go.

Tax Man

That's what they are sometimes called along with the Man in the gray suit As I mentioned the northern gulf was stuffed with them until the locals discovered there was money to be made in the fin market.
