yep...switch to 20 lb mono leader instead of steel. Use jig head and sparkle beatle "W" showed. Or use fresh dead or live shrimp like jchief said. Switching to those things should greatly improve your chances.
And I can't beleive this hasn't been mentioned yet, but if you happen to come across a flock of birds working the water. Use your trolling motor! Don't crowd someone if they are already fishing the birds. Throw that sparkle beetle in there or a sand eel. Usually trout under the birds, easy targets.
