I'm setup for trolling. And by "setup," I mean just a few rail-mounted rod holders. Most of the time, I run with the engine, seeing that the hot spots are usually loaded with boats and need the maneuverability. I usually motor at 2-3 knots with a 2lb lead weight, barrel sinker release, anchovies, and a barbless circle hook...I'm no fishing expert, but that seems to be one of the popular trolling rigs. I usually catch at least 1 king salmon in the 10-20lb range on a given day trip - limit is 2/day/person. I once caught a 35lb salmon a few years ago. If no luck with the salmon, or if I have time before heading back in on the flood, I'll switch to rock fishing, which usually has good results...they like to bite. Even better if I can land a ling cod. Out here, fresh, wild king salmon runs $20-30/lb.
I installed a 12V deck wash-down system a few years ago, which is a necessity for removing the fish slime hazard quickly: the buckets just didn't cut it. That system became my shower on the Hawaii project in 2016.
My biggest gripe is the time it takes to get to the good spots outside the Golden Gate, where the action is (usually): 3 hours. But once there, it's easy to zone out staring west to the horizon, and just as you start thinking up new sailing ideas, those damn clickers start going.
