Tips and Tricks for Bait Fishing for Trout
Bait fishing for trout can be effective, using worms, eggs, artificial paste baits, or combinations. Bait can be dangled downward from a floating bobber or can float upward from a slip-sinker, both of which provide weight to cast the bait outward from shore. Worms are probably the best all-around Trout Bait and work especially well in spring and fall, particularly after rainfall.
Bait fishing should only be done when you plan to keep the fish you catch, since the fish tend to swallow the bait and hook, making injury-free release much harder. This is why fish caught while using bait count as part of your daily limit, whether or not you keep them. Also check to make sure bait is legal where you're planning to fish; some lakes have selective fishery regulations or other quality rules designed to improve survival and growth of fish.
Natural baits for trout includes a wide variety of items - worms, minnows, crayfish, fish eggs, grasshoppers, crickets, mayflies, caddis and crane fly larvae, waxworms and numerous other insect larvae. Hooks used for these baits can range from No. 6 to 14, more or less matching bait size with Hook Size. Worms should be threaded on the hook in at least two places and the entire hook concealed. On occasions trout will pick up a worm, crush it, drop it, and then pick it up again. This nibbling habit makes a cautious fish tough to catch on an exposed hook point. It is hard to beat the nightcrawler for baitfishing trout. It has just the right heft for a Long Cast and they are easy to come by. Worms are too small and are difficult to cast. They are harder to obtain in mid summer and are difficult to cast long distances, but are ideal for drift fishing.
Minnows are occasionally used for trout, particularly for large Brown's. Hook the minnow lightly through the back or lip and drift it into the deep pools that have hiding habitat structure. Small, soft-shell crayfish and fish eggs, usually from salmon, can also be productive when drifted in a similar fashion. Egg hooks should be used for salmon eggs. Insect larvae are productive at times, epecially while they are abundant in streams and are beginning to emerge. Most of the time they are fished like worms, but take care in casting because they come off the hook easily.
Grasshoppers and crickets are most often used in the fall. They can be hooked once through the tough portion of their body, above the front legs, or simply threaded on to the hook. These baits are most effective when drifted downstream into likely trout cover. Veteran brown trout anglers often use a chunk of chub or sucker meat when angling for the big ones. This also keeps other chubs and suckers from biting when fishing in poorer quality water.
Trout rely mainly on their sense of smell as well as sight to detect food sources. For this reason, there is a variety of colored scented baits available to catch trout. Common commercial brand brands include Berkeley’s Power Bait and Zeke's. They both come in an assortment of colors and utilize scent attractants. Velveeta cheese and bread are also excellent choices. Hatchery-raised trout have fed on small brown pellets for most of their lives. For this reason, locally made dough-baits can prove exceptional for catching trout. This type of bait is usually found in the park store. Prepared trout bait ranges from commercial products to homemade concoctions. Most varieties have a cheese base and come in small chunks or balls. Cheese baits are usually cast across a pool and the bait allowed to drift with the current. Other popular baits include whole kernel corn, marshmallows, and cereal types. It doesn't take much imagination to fish for trout with these items, although all of them have enticed many trout to bite.

How do you prevent snags while fishing off jetties and rocks?
I have tried using a float ,fish weedless if possible, and retrieving my line after 10-20secs. Are there any other method that would be more effective
Use a heavy enough sinker that wave action won't move it, and make sure it's a shape which won't snag easily (a torpedo shape is probably best). Keep it still on the bottom -- if it just sits in one place on the bottom, it's less likely to get stuck, but if waves move it or you drag it in, it's more likely to fall into a crack between rocks. Watch for weeds on your line -- they'll drag your line even more.
Tie the sinker on with a bad knot, so that if you do snag, you can break it off easily and still get your hook (and fish).
With trial and error you may be able to locate some sandy areas between or just beyond the rocks, and if you can keep your offering in there, you'll save more of your gear.
Fishing off the bottom is hard with bait, but with artificials (a plastic tipped with squid, or Gulp, or something) you can stay off the bottom. I've caught some nice calico bass doing just that. But even then, you'll lose lures to the snags.
But the main thing is just to have a good supply of hooks and sinkers and look at the losses as the "cost of doing business" fishing in those areas.
