Well, Leland @miyawaki suggested I try fishing Pass Lake after dark.
Perhaps it was revenge for revealing his love for PowerBait, perhaps Leland is even more of a badass than we knew and flouts the park ranger and law, or perhaps times have changed, but I can tell you that Pass Lake is not fishable after dark--at least not from the park.
Dark, it turns out, is after dusk-which is when the park closes.
How do I know this? Did I Google it?
Nope. My dumbass drove up there, arrived at 10pm, inflated my pontoons, and spotted the park ranger as I carried my boat past him. Lovely fellow, and we had a great chat.
To make matters worse, I can't even stop by the Shrimp Shack now.
Edit: Forgot a photo of Pass Lake on a cloudy sliver-moon night:
