Welcome to the site Bandon.
I don't know the mark where you were fishing but if you were asking if you should put your baits onto the mussel banks or close to them, then I would suggest close to them would be the better option. The tidal surge would wear your rigs and leader to tatters off the shells on the beds. This could lead to a couple of very undesirable outcomes.
1; A crack-off during one of your casts.
2; Losing a fish because your line snapped.
I hope this helps.

All fishermen are liars except you and me and to tell you the truth, I'm not so sure about you!
