CALIFORNIA PISH AND GAME 327 The first town south of Monterey where there is any commercial fishing at present is Cayucos in San Luis Obispo County. The town faces on a sandy beach from which a wharf extends into an open roadstead. There is scarcely any shelter, so that Cayucos must be con- sidered a fair weather port only. The town is connected by good roads with otlier towns in the county. Two power boats fish off Cayucos and make deliveries consisting for the greater part of rock cod and flat fish. There is some pleasure fishing from the wharf. Until abalone diying was prohibited in 1915, this industry flourished, being carried on mainly by Japanese. During the war a cannery was built for packing abalones and sardines. Because of the absence of a good harbor and the lack of resident help the venture failed. The cannery operated on and off from 1916 to 1920, inclusive. From Cayucos down the coast to Morro Bay there extends a wide sandy beach from which Pismo clams are taken both by amateur and commercial diggers. Those dug commercially find their way into the restaurants and markets of San Luis Obispo County. Morro Bay is a good small boat harbor. It is protected by a sand bar that leaves but a narrow entrance to the rather shallow bay. The huge bulk of Morro Rock stands guard over the bay and acts as a land- mark visible for miles. The town of Morro Bay is primarily a resort or week-end town strung along the shores of the bay and the ocean and extending back into the hills. It is connected by paved road with San Luis Obispo. There is a fish market on the wharf where the fish caught by local boats are sold or shipped to San Luis Obispo. The boats land the fish right at the wharf at high tide. When the tide is low, the greater part of the bay is transformed into a mud flat. Boats coming in at this time mu
