There's just something about spinners, Mepps specifically, that almost seems to make fish mad enough that they bite. I've caught a ton of different species on a gold #2 Mepps, including LMB and SMB. Also, it is very possible that they were just cautious because you were a little too close. I've seen tons of fish follow a lure all they way in but then they turn around real quick when they get within 10 feet or so from me. Perhaps try distancing yourself as much as possible from the fish and then make a long cast.
