Dumbfounded?

Hello everyone! maybe you guys can explain to me why I had such an unusual time the other night? I was fishing a protected Bay in my Kyak, starting out at dusk, picking up a few small stripes on a falling tide. I saw lots of bait going out, following the tide, with some breaks in the surface now and then. I didn't catch a lot of fish? I was using small shads matching the size bait I saw. This has always worked for me in the past. Darkness came and I drifted with the tide heading home. The bay drains quickly with water depths in the 2 to 6 ft. range, then it happened! I was drifting over a large school of fish holding in the current, fish were rolling on the surface, I anchored and started casting every thing in my bag!, Shads, Poppers, Metals, and Swimmers! no luck ? I could feel the strippers hitting my line, no takes. I pulled up the anchor and started drifting again and as I drifted I was bumping into fish with the Kyak! This was exceptionally frusting! Some of these fish were Large! Any Ideas ? My guess is they were waiting till more darkness to enter the flats to begin feeding or maybee there was a worm hatch ???
