We do it for Muskies a bit and Walleyes quite a lot. For walleys it works good in the clear lakes where they can be tough to catch durring the day.
Muskies, well they almost always bite better in the evening/dark. We pretty much use head lamps for tying lures and baiting hooks and general moving around the boat. If we're muskie fishing, we will use the high powered spot lights for netting/gaffing and removing hooks.
I have tried to have lights or lanterns on in the boat all the time at night, but it seems to attract more bugs than be much more of a help. If you are manurving a river though, I could see where you need to have light all the time.
Tournaments at night, that might be a riot. Sounds like fun,
Tom
