Is this normal? (Sad newbie moment)

Got into fishing a couple months ago and was landing good size bass consistently with frogs and Chatterbaits. I fish the same pond everyday. I am now on a streak of getting skunked. They refuse to even touch the chatter or blowup on a frog. I started throwing senkos 3 days ago and hooked up to a bass each day. All 3 would have likely been my pb. Failed to land each one on the senko. 1 leader break and 2 slipping the hook. I can’t help but feeling I’m doing something wrong, but my buddy says I’m just getting unlucky. I think it’s been about 10-15 hours straight on the water without landing a fish now. Plenty of opportunity. My hookset always feels sloppy. Should I really be driving the hook home with a senko? Would that secure more of these fish? Or is it just normal to lose them with a senko. I also feel like I’m trying to rush them to land and that could be an issue. Idk, just feeling super discouraged because of the time and money I’ve put into this and it’s been going downhill. Any tips on landing fish would be hugely appreciated!
