Hey there daymere,
I remember using long shanked hooks for live minnows under a bobber with a long, long leader at lake up just north of San Francisco that is famous for Speckled Crappie. Fun fishing watching the bobber skitter across the water in that first sudden rush.
I too have not heard of bream in California but some use the term somewhat like panfish. Whatever the term, the little critters are fun to catch.
