Default Is there an easy way to remove fish eye AND obtain a gloss finish?

The end flap of our dining room table got scratched. It is cherry
wood. I sanded it down to the wood, had a Cabot stain custom mixed at
LOWES and applied it. The match was good. I put a coat of MinWax rub
on Gloss Poly on it. It fish eyed and was flat, no gloss what so
ever.. I lightly sanded it and put a second coat on. Same result. So I
bought a spray can of the MinWax gloss Poly. Same results, the fish
eyes are still there and absolutely NO gloss. I can understand the
reason for the fish eyes, but I can't figure out why it will not dry
with a gloss shine.
Is there anything I can try before I start over from scratch? It
doesn't have to be perfect, just a gloss finish.
