I have been wanting to know the same question. Wish it left a few hours earlier, but I think I might try it out sometime. I know Deep Sea Headquarters used to run the 12hr night trips on Saturdays, but they stopped. Dolphin Docks runs night trips only during the summer season from 6 to 6. Would much prefer to go with Deep Sea if they still offered them.
Yes, great time to go offshore. From the trips I've seen, they are actually more productive. Have caught everything from black fin tuna to amberjack and the standard reef fish.
Best thing, NO sun burn!

I called Fisherman's Wharf today and they said that they usually do not fill enough spots on the 12 hour night trips outside of summer. Even for spring break the guy sounded doubtfull, but he said you never know. They need to fill at least 20 spots for it to go out. Must be a great deal to go out for 100 dollars if you can get on with only 20 people. I remember going out in the summer years ago during the day, and the boat was very crowded. Kind of makes me want to go out more this time of year.
Fishermans wharf 12hr - is a good offshore offshore trip and they use electric reels and have sometimes put drift baits off the back while other fish on bottom with electric reels or manual(depends) It is a great boat to go on,You need to make sure that there is enough folks to go. This time of the year the 12hr does not make it out due to lack of fishermen. If, you can make the Scat Cat or Wharf Cat it will be a great ride and to have a good time offshore fishing.
