Had the same thing happen many years ago down in Marshfield.
After a big storm had knocked out power in the region, we brought down coolers and ice for my sister, so she could save as much perishables as possible over the weekend until power was restored.
We sent to the beach just before sunset and saw a massive blitz.
The pogies were beaching themselves, and if they tried to retreat to deeper water, they were met with razor sharp teeth at the breakwater mark. you could wade through the surviving fish, but didn't dare go any deeper because we all knew what waited out there! I can recall watching waves break on the shore and seeing open mouths come flying out. Mouths full of teeth!
Next morning there wasn't a pogie left on the beach, but there were a number of dead sharks that had come to join the frenzy, and stayed a little too long....
