What lures work best for casting to bream?

also, is it more productive just to float the lure without much movement?

I have caught a bluegill and a shellcracker casting a small 1/16 or 1/32 beetlespin in white/red dot but find live crickets and nightcrawlers to be far more effective.

By nature, will bream chase down a lure or the lure must be presented on its nose, literally?

My early morning adventures involve getting to my fishing hole before the tackle shops are open.
