You can't beat the trusty size 3 or 4 suicide or circle hook
on a 6lb leader with a small running ball sinker. Peel a prawn and thread it onto the hook, making sure the point is exposed. You will catch flathead on that rig as well.
Bream can be shy biters, so make you don't strike to early. I like to let them pick the bait up and start running with it, hence the running sinker.
You can switch the suicide or circle hook for a long shanked hook and thread on a bluebait or a white bait. That will also be a good rig for flathead.
If you want some excitement, you could try soft plastics. A Gulp shrimp works very well on bream and flathead.

I thread the prawn right through the body Ganged
and leave the point sticking out. That's where a circle hook or suicide is good.
