Often when you see some fish splashing but others just "finning" is because they are on dense schools for very small bait like a worm hatch or very small sand eels. Those fish are on the surface just calmly slurping down bait and can be very focused on it and won't touch a lure.

It's a tough hatch to match.

yeap, small bait, or worm hatch. saw it the other day in the river. they wouldnt even go for the red small got stryper rubber i had that looked pretty damn close to a worm. I eventually just stopped, picked out a worm on the surface and counted until it got eaten...

Definitely not a worm hatch where I was. Lot's of 3 to 4" bait fish close to shore, but there may have been something else like sand eels further out. The finning fish almost seemed like they were seaching around for bait and changing direction quickly.
