I'm only in my second season of salmon fishing, so not super experienced yet, but trolling spinners have been my most productive gear by far...especially the red/white or orange/white. I'll try just about anything that looks "fishy".
I never fished the Lampasas area but have driven through there on occasion. The hill country there can be pretty scenic a bit like some of the central Oregon areas. I mostly fished the east Texas lakes. If you're ever out that way again, Lake Fork and Sam Rayburn are "must fish" hawg large mouth lakes.
