Saturday and holiday shore angler use followed a pattern similar to Saturday and holiday boat anglers. Maximum effort occurred in April and May when averages of and anglers were contacted per census day. Weekday shore angler use was highest in April when an average of anglers were contacted per census day. Fishhig effort declined thereafter except for a slight increase in August (Figure 1). The average number of anglers contacted per census day from April through December (weighted by month) was as follows: weekend and holiday shore anglers, ; weekend and holiday' boat anglers, ; weekday shore anglers. ; and weekday boat anglers, Data on seasonal trends in angler success combined Saturday, holi- day, and weekday anglers within boat and shore categories since their catch rates and catch compositions were similar. Monthly catch rates are expressed simply as the total number of fish censused during the month (by species or combination of species) divided by total hours fished. Boat angler catch rates for all game fish species combined were low in the late winter and early spring, increased to maximum levels in the summer, and declined to intermediate values in the fall and early winter. Monthly catch rates ranged from a low of fish per hour in January to a high of fish per hour in August (Figure 2).
