It’s been a long time since I’ve caught one and I’d like to get out and try to land a few. But I don’t know where a good spot is for targeting them. I’ve only ever caught them by accident. Never specifically targeted them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Might be a little late but Bolinas Lagoon always had big leopards and bat rays. 

Otherwise, Alameda Rock Wall or the peninsula side has been my go-to's  to soak bait for them.

Most muddy shoreline on the bay will produce. 

San Mateo, Hayward, Redwood City, Dumbarton.

Just wondering, the barbless is for an easy release?

Yeah on the barbless. They're a pain to get off the hook with a barb.

Yes, slides out like butter and is always mouth hooked.

I don't fish for them anymore but when I did I don't recall ever losing a single leopard or batray with a barbless circle hook.
