Newbie Questions

[OregonNewb]

I used to fish as a kid and then it seems once a year I will go out and fish in the local ponds for trout. Last year I bought a basic Mitchell combo for cheap. Well I am really going to start fishing this summer and found out the Lake Selmac(southern Oregon) is suppose to be a real good bass lake. So I have a couple of questions.

I will be doing 90% of my fishing from the bank/docks. Any starter bait/lures ideas. I have always just used worms/eggs/powerbait and roostertails for my fishing(mostly trout). Will roostertails/blue fox lures have any luck?

I have read several post on hear about Senco worms without weights. Is this a good thing to use for a newbie?

Lake Selmac is a good lake as far as access. You can pretty much walk around the whole lake. What should I look for from the banks as far as good bass hot spots?

Well that is enough ? Any tips would be great. Thank in advance.
