Give me a couple days notice, it takes a day to drive thereLet me tell you what I know about ocean salmon fishing. Most of the salmon in/off cali are headed for one of the rivers to spawn. The gather outside the Golden Gate & when conditions are right they move from the ocean to the rivers. Most pass thru SF bay & into one of the rivers thru the delta. These runs usually last from a few days to a couple of weeks. If you can time it correctly, & hit a run, it's a guarantee limit (2) of salmon. The trick is the timing. The difference in 1 week can be HUGE...
Because I live within 1.5hrs of the bay, what I usually do with near 90% success is watch the fish reports, & when I see "limits"...I drop everything & go....Kinda like they do the Maverick big wave surf contest...

If this was 20 years ago I would take you to Baja........@nuggs Last year and probably this year because of the el nino the 1/2 and 3/4 boats killed them. The day boats fished with them ,so that started at 9 miles out to 30 if they had to go that far. Most years the day boats fish 30 - 70 miles any deeper is a longer trip. There has been yellowtail and Bluefin tuna all winter long . All the channel islands and the Coranados have yellow tail on them. About a 1.5 hr ride on a faster skiff. Coranados which is were I fish needs a lot of Mexican paper work ( Mexican waters in general but you don't see the feds off shore much ) so Catalina and San Clemente if you don't want to deal with the BS. I have fished 70 miles in my buddies 24 ft Skip Jack.
