I am strictly a jig fisherman. Lately in this heat I keep getting tons of missed stikes and tubes pulled of my jigs. Blamed it on small Bream and Crappie. About decided it was short strikes after catching several descent Crappie outside the mouth and one in the belly. Saw some spiderriggers pull up to a brushpile I was working catch several real quick on live minnows. I was catching a few but things happened when they pulled in with 8 poles baited with double minnows. I refuse to use live bait anymore but know at times can make a difference.
