you want to look for rockfish in deeper water, 140' +

Canyon edges are a perfect place for that. Drift over the canyon walls. Make sure you have your bait or lure tight to the bottom. I find it the easiest to fish for rockfish with a strip of squid pinned on. Shiny metal heavier jigs or plastics work too.

Use your fishfinder to look for the bottom drop-offs, look for the marks on the bottom.

If you notice the guys in shallower watter getting towed around,
maybe consider targetting rockfish some other day
