In my limited experience, fish that are in the reproducing mood, don't usually like to smack lures around. They have a one track mind, and usually you can only get reaction strikes on occasion.

I fished the Gorge on Friday and Sat. and hammerd the rainbows. We landed over 40 and lost a bunch more. We were trolling in 10 to 20 feet using jointed rapalas and taildancers. I too saw the rainbows swimming under the ramp at Buckboard. The shore fishermen were catching a few on worms and Krocodiles.I think you just have to keep moving and find some that want to hit.
