	Carquinez Strait Offers Shore Anglers A Chance To Battle Salmon, Stripers, by Dan Bacher
		Carquinez Strait, located between the Crockett-Vallejo and Benicia-Martinez bridges, is a transition zone between the saltier waters of San Pablo Bay and the fresher, brackish water of Suisun Bay.
		It is the first area, other than California City in San Francisco Bay, where king salmon stage and hold before making their annual spawning journey up the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, offering shore anglers a unique chance to catch salmon from the bank.
		The salmon are no longer feeding when they enter the strait, so they are hitting the lures in an aggressive action just like they do on the Central Valley rivers.
