Hoping for suggestions on targeting Cabezon - location, time of year, etc.

Thanks!

I have got them all over-pretty much where all the guys say-add edge of willoby shoal and edge of Sentry shoal-they are all over and some get quite large-no great numbers but they do seem to be around. I've eaten a few-they are not as good as some write ups claim

It's an easy fish to overcook and not to everyone's liking texture-wise.

Texture was not the best-ok I live on the water and am retired so I get out whenever it lays down -- I'm pretty picky

Lol Mike- basically any kind of fish any week of the year, fresh out of the chuck… spoiled!!

I am curious as well, not so much in spots but what what kind of habitat does one snoop around in? Edge of pinnacles? Bottom of walls? High current?

I have never caught them in hi current areas such as the hump in CR. usually quieter waters with a sandy bottom and generally less than a 100 feet. Just my observations from the ones I have caught--I don't deliberately fish for them so I am no expert. Good luck

What's the texture like ??

 

[Kinetic]

We always release them as no one in our circle enjoys them, but to each their own.

When cooked right something like Crab-a few seconds too long and it's fibrous & a little tough.

The answer of course is to undercook and let it rest.

This is my approach to all seafood.

Western ledge at Grant reef has a good population, 80-150’. Pretty fun fish for jigging and you get springs while your at it!
