Certainly when actually fishing, I think it’s the sudden light that does it. Ambient light from nearby street lights or homes is constant and something they get used to, whereas suddenly shining a beam at the water isn’t.

Which imo is why you might well catch bass under bridge lights because they attract smaller prey and to the bass, they’re always on so it’s ‘normal’
