Default Big game @ night

I am headed to Salvo next week. I will be fishing from shore. Would you recomend fishing day or night for shark and cobia. I plan to soak bait and throw bucktails and spoons until my arm gets tired. Any tips on which baits to use would be great! I plan to soak mullet currently.

Also, am I allowed to have the Jeep on the beach at night if I am fishing?

Thanks!

Sharks seem to be bigger and closer from dusk to dawn although they can be caught anytime of day as Derf mentioned. Cobia are strictly daytime to maybe 1 hour after dark.
Throw the biggest bait you can at night with wire leaders and heavy rub lines.
Try large circle hooks with with mono during the day for cobia.
