A final contributing factor was the improved late fall and spring fishing in the Bay area, which resulted in some of the boats staying there rather than moving to the Delta. While Block 303 includes the entire Delta, the party boat fishery has been restricted to the main San Joaquin River and immediately adja- cent channels and Hooded islands. Therefore, the party boat reports rep- resent only a portion of the area. The fishing season occurs from October through May and has re- mained relatively unchanged (Figures 10 and 11). The reporlcfl mean weight of the bass caught has declined compared with lh«' 1938-1948 period (Table 7). While there have been fluctua- tions during this period, the decrease reflects the same general trend found in the other fishing lbs. 5 0 lbs 5 1- lbs 9 1- 150 lbs Over lbs.
