Summer is easy. The days are longer ...

You can hit the water after work, get in some float time and paddle in as the sun sets. You get a bit of a workout, and a bit of sea time midweek.

So, if I can't shift my work schedule by 2 hours to stay in the light . . .

Other then a Yakattack light mast and finally getting a handheld radio, does anyone have advice on prudent rigging or tips for night paddlin'?

Headlamps worth buyin'?

I expect I'll stay close to LB breakwater/Alamitos Bay areas.

Headlamps, Hoopnets, and Salmon Heads ;)

Make yourself as visible as possible. If they can barely see you in the daytime what makes you think they'll be able to see you at night?
