If you want sand dabs, they're everywhere! Some get pretty big to where you can actually fillet them. I've had success on bigger dabs using artificials, like gulp jerk shads, over squid which catches any and all sizes of them.

As for other soles, sandy bottom at any depth really. Have gotten starry flounder in shallows and I see them, tonguefish, and fantails all the time diving at night along with the obvious halibut.

I nailed a 20" fantail last year drifting a piece of squid really deep on the way back in to a harbor. Could never replicate that catch again, but if you can, the payoff is worth it!
