Spanish are wacky in that the tide, sunlight and weather (& bait) play a big role in where they will be. The best you can do is try and it sounds like you must have done something right since you got a couple. When we fried them everybody liked the blues better any way. I like my Spanish grilled the same day caught.
Did you put some spoons on planers? I use a #2 and adjust the running depth by adding/taking up line. You don't have to let much line out to get your spoon down 20 + feet with a #2. A lot of people say to run a #1 but honestly I rarely catch them on a #1. One problem with a #2 is a small spanish sometimes aren't heavy enough to trip it and you end up pulling him around for a half hour hooked in the bottom lip with his jaw wide open. His belly fills with water and he drowns. When you finally pull him in he is DOA and water pours out of his mouth. So sad for the poor fishy LOL.
