Anybody got any scoop on where to wrestle with some Cabazon near Langley? Mooring there this weekend, and wanted the kids to get some tugs.. Thanks for any help. I do have a GPS/Fishfinder:)

I don't know of many places where you can target cabezon without also catching lots of rockfish, which of course are closed and suffer high mortality when released, even from moderate depths. And there is a closure deeper than 120 feet this year.
We have caught cabezon on the Race Track, between Camano and Hat Islands.
Might be easier and closer, though, to just let them catch flounder, which are abundant in 50-100 feet all along the shore there near Langley, from Sandy Point up to East Point... We've had fun for the kids using shrimp flies. They come pre-rigged with two on a line, and you just put a 4-5 ounce sinker on the bottom. You can tip the hooks with bait like a small chunk of herring, but not too necessary...
