There is alot of good advise coming from this post and wish i would have known about this site a couple years ago. I am just starting to see results this year as far as less of the skunk though it still happens from time to time, I went out last thursday and and got nothing not even a bite. It is all trial and error, there is no easy way out. You say you have fished trout so my advice would be to use the technique you may have learned using jigs for trout and apply them for bass and keep modifying it till you figure out what works and what doesn't. Many people say to keep a log which should include water temp(use feel if you don't know) what jig combo you were using, and what line you use which I have learned does make a difference Braid vs mono etc., also think of the time of day and season.
