Hey I have been finding theses small crabs on the beach from when the waves go out.
I was wondering if they any good for bait?

I was gonna go gather the really small ones for a bream session. There's some stonkers at my usual spot who won't take anything I throw at them, hard bodies or soft plastics!

Have you tried cranka crabs
From what I have seen of them they are the ants pants, I've seen whiting flathead bream and herring caught on them down my way (falcon sea side).
A trick I have seen used by a young kid was getting small crabs of the rocks in the cut, using a bit of naphtha on a cotton bud to create a dry clean spot on the shell them using instant super glue stick the hook flat on the back of the crabs shell.
He slayed the bream in the canal he was fishing in.

Gotta give that a go with the super glue. I ususually stick a hook through them but I think that might kill the crabs a little quicker.
