You did the right thing RRF, buying your license.
Yes, kastmasters and other chrome spoons are a good lure for imitating shad and therefore good for catching fish at Mead. There's many fancier, more expensive lures to you can buy both those old school baits will do it.
The simplest explanation I could give for the difference between stripers and sm/lm bass feeding habits would be that you can find stripers schooling/feeding in open water whereas the bass will usually stay closer to structure of some sort. Stripers are at the top of the food chain and so the lmb/smb have to hide from them. But that is a very simple way of looking at it, there's much more to it than that and I'm sure some other will share their experience.
