I was in the same boat always wanted to catch Bass but never any luck until lately.
i live in southern california so fishing here is probably a little different but the same concept.
i wen out a few weeks ago and a lot of the anglers were using soft plastics the watermelon color with red metal flakes but i was getting hit on a power bait plastic worm black with a purple ish color.
tha braided line is fine but you need to set up a fluorocarbon leader about 6 to ten feet. i had mine about 8 ft. i use a 7' foot pole with a bait caster. got a good deal at the bass pro shop a 100 dollar real for 80 bucks.
try using a Carolina rig or a Texas rig these seem to work well. how ever i found a new rigging set up well new to me cant wait to try it. it is called a push dart setup.
good luck.
