I made it to Shelter early the next morning, and only got bit just before and just after slack.

Wednesday in AM slack tide I made six spotted bass on six cast in a row. Usually it's hard to entice a bite in slack conditions but not this time. I think you're right the fast tide current had everything holding close to structure to conserve energy.
