Pencil popper help.

At the canal at daybreak. Throwing white with pink stripe pencil to breaking fish mid-canal. The fish where tailwhipping the popper, out of the water at times. They where not biting it though.

What would you do? I changed retrieve speeds many times. THe one that worked the best was a fast noisy retrive for a few yards, then I let the popper sit, it would get whacked, then I would move it a few more yards and it would get whacked again. I saw tails afew time stick out of the water.

Should I have switched colors? Whey do fish do this? Very frusterating to have all the fish out in front of me, and still get skunked - thought I had the tide and location right, and they where there...but nothing.
