FYI, here's a map of the 50 fathom line for rockfishing. Remember, the depth limit for fishing isn't the actual depth, it is the shoreward side of a line of waypoints listed in the Federal Register. My points here are pretty close but not dead on. If you'd like to make your own cheat sheet, here's the list for Point Arena to Pigeon Point:
(98) 38°57.50′ N. lat., 123°51.10′ W. long.;
(99) 38°55.13′ N. lat., 123°51.14′ W. long.;
(100) 38°28.58′ N. lat., 123°22.84′ W. long.;
(101) 38°14.60′ N. lat., 123°09.92′ W. long.;
(102) 38°01.84′ N. lat., 123°09.75′ W. long.;
(103) 38°00.00′ N. lat., 123°09.25′ W. long.;
(104) 37°55.24′ N. lat., 123°08.30′ W. long.;
(105) 37°52.06′ N. lat., 123°09.19′ W. long.;
(106) 37°50.21′ N. lat., 123°14.90′ W. long.;
(107) 37°45.57′ N. lat., 123°9.46′ W. long.;
(108) 37°11.00′ N. lat., 122°31.67′ W. long.;

Almost to Rittenbug Bank! But not quite.
Anybody have any tips on Sand Dab fishing?
My 2013 Suzuki is having issues. Does anyone have a recommendation as to a Suzuki Mechanic in the bodega bay greater area. Gunter in Sebastopol retired. I know H&M marine is a Suzuki dealer however I would love any advice as to local opinions.
from what i have heard. deeper water is better like 150-250'. use a sabiki, drop to bottom with 8-12oz. tip it with squid. if nothing move spots after 10mins. please report back if you go. never done it. i am interested in giving them a try in the fry. there also supposed to be the best lingcod bait (once season opens)
Jeff Akers out of Dillion beach area. He was the mechanic for Lawson’s landing.
Interested in dabs as well. I know some charters out of SF go for them, but I would like to try it myself. Have boat and gear for them, but that's about it. I know deeper is usually better, but any type of structure/bottom to look for?

Thank you.
I’ll see if I can’t track him down.
There in the sand Beyond the reef between elephant rock and birds rock. Like Chris said deep water.
Willy - here's a story for you re sanddabs:
Conducted fishery research at night off Pescadero years ago. Using a midwater trawl, fishing near the surface, we caught a handful of large Pacific sanddabs with extended bellies. Couldn't believe it when we opened up their stomachs and found numerous fresh Velella. These are the purple invertebrates that can be found strewn on the beach and are also called "by-the-wind sailors". So these fish had come up off the bottom at night to feed at the surface. Fishing for sanddabs at night with Velella is probably not the most efficient use of your time, but who would have thought?
sand,i have seen them on my underwater camera in crab pots. so i think same spots you drop your dungy pots
very Interesting
I’ve found a Sanddab in a salmon belly once.
Makes more sense now.
