Is it worth fishing for Pike at night? I'v dedicated a good few hours

Well done for trying it - it's always worth experimenting just in case,
but:

They're sight and sound feeders - take a look at the eye placement,
they're
used to attacking by sight. A noisy spinner does work in turbid
floodwater
but even there I assume the fish home in by sound and finally attack when
they get a close-quarters glimpse of the lure.

It might just be worth spinning in the dark or, where permitted,
livebaiting: I'd guess that even then moonlight would be a major factor.

When fishing by Moonlight always suspend your baits high in the water so
that they can be seen from below.
