The bay was rich in crab and other fish, so this trawling usually yielded a substantial catch. With the death of clams came a shift in the best places to catch crab. Soon, fishermen focused on areas just outside the Golden Gate. Today, crabbers must drop their pots out near the Farallon Islands in 18 to 35 fathoms of ocean water.
