Bodega Bay, California
Tony and Carol Anello, Proprietors
The
fishing industry is one of the oldest and most primary industries along
the North Coast of California. One of the reason California Indians were
quite peaceful was the abundance of food, including fish. And since the
Gold Rush era, fisheries have been profitable along California's streams
and shoreline. Salmon, sturgeon, pike, perch, dake, chub, suckers, hard-heads,
narrow-tails and more were being caught in large quantities. The salmon fisheries were the most important during the late 1800s - the fish were far beyond the average size salmon caught along the Eastern Seaboard and ranged from 20 to 50 pounds. The business was early considered an important commercial resource for California.
Commercial fishing is a traditional industry with a colorful history of adventure, independence and hard work. Although fishing techniques have been enhanced with modern equipment, our fisherfolk must still endure the challenges of the sea with each fishing effort -- and those at home must endure the wait of their return each trip.
