I have resisted being involved in this thread because telling you how to troll is like encouraging you to learn to smoke. You will get addicted to searching out particular Bandits in the Summer. You will spend $20 to $30 everytime you see a color that might work; because you don't buy just one. It gets bad. I had to quit snuff just to be able to afford it. Fishing without snuff is turrrrrible.
You have already got the advice on how to get started. I don't think enough was said about a long handeled net like Fishbasket said.
Good luck
