The 3" minnows are ok for bream, 4" might be getting a little big. Wriggler style SPs (the ones that look like a grub with a curly tail) are very good for bream.
I've never actually fished at the mussel farm, but have fished a lot up the bay a bit towards Beaumaris and Black Rock. It's great SP territory (just make sure you stay out of the marine park <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> ). I've caught snapper, flathead, snook, pike, red mullet, squid, octopus, barracouta, salmon and silver dory on 3" Berkley minnows around that area. You do need a boat though (from the waters edge out to about 300m offshore is the marine park, clearly marked by yellow buoys and marker poles - so fishing from the shore is not allowed). Also, be prepared to lose a few jigheads, it's a pretty snaggy bottom.
