This idea was finally given up in the belief that it would be an over-simplification which could easily lead to misinterpretation. However, an annual estimate which is of some interest is discussed in a final section of the report. RECORDS FROM BLOCK 308—THE CARQUINEZ STRAITS REGION Description of Fishing Block 308 This block, shown in Figure 53, includes the Carquinez Straits and immediately adjacent parts of San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay. It is primarily a deep-water, channel region, as can be seen from Figure 53, in which depths under 10 feet are shaded. Salinity fluctuates from almost that of salt Avater in the autumn in dry years to nearly fresh in the spring in wet years. Most of the grounds usually fished by party boats moored at Crockett and Martinez, two of the most important centers of activity, lie within Block 308. The Napa Eiver is also included, but it is unimportant in the party boat fishery except at its mouth. The waters surrounding the mouth of the Xapa River, the channel area off Rodeo, the deep water off Port Costa and the sand bar off Avon are favored fishing spots for the party boats. Bait fishing predominates in this area, as elsewhere, but trolling is also important. However, the latter is largely restricted to the summer months, and even then it is carried on for only a few hours before sunset. Hundreds of boats are often to be seen trolling the Carquinez Straits on late summer aft
