Thanks for the added info.  How much line did you have out, when using that Mepps comet mino? My guess is that lure was close to the surface but is this the lure you were using:

No problem at all.  I don't know how much line I had out.  I usually go 30-50ft on the planer boards and then out 80-90 feet from the boat on 
either side.  I was not down deep with the Comet Mino.  I think it was fishing pretty shallow.

My guess for what was happening is that we were about 11-12' down with the flicker shads and as we went over the shelf or dropoff into 14', the wipers were sitting there and couldn't resist a shad going right over their heads. 

We also saw a bunch of jumpers and a few birds diving during the hour of hot fishing.  I think it was just a feeding frenzy that we got into.

Yes, that's the lure I was using, except for the shad color rather than the rainbow trout color.  It's kind of a blue back and a white belly.

Great, thanks again for the info. We are headed out there tomorrow, so we might give it a try, even if we don't keep any, it will be fun to catch a few, if we hit it just right.
