SRCs at Night?

So i was "waiving the bug wand" at my fav. local beach just at the beginning of the outgoing tide.  Initial very first cast... fish on!  second cast missed a nice hit.  The fish were eager to bite, and even saw a couple rise which i found surprising this time of year, but i am still new.  Anyway, as soon as the sun sank and there was very dim light the feeding frenzy stopped!!!  Is this normal, or have any of you done well once it's dark for these feisty fish?  There maybe a post on this already, but didn't see one and thought it was worth discussing.  If the fish will bight at night, that just means more time for me to fish.

Not sure about after nightfall, but my best SRC days have been low light. last light has been the best for me followed by cloudy skies. From my experience as long as its not bright and sunny, the tide is moving, and you are over rocks the SRC will cooperate.
