Hi boku,
Most of the advice has been real sound. I have fished the PR area for about 9 years in a row - to be honest, a 17' Lund on any part of the ocean is just risky. That being said, there is one safe place where you could fish for the salmon without taking a big risk. If you look on a map, there is a channel known as work channel just north of PR. There is a logging road with a boat launch right at the end of it. If you launch in work channel and travel up it by boat, there is a small bay just before the end (known as trail bay). This water (although ocean) is much like a lake - never more then 6 inch swells. It can be busy with many small boats - but the salmon are there. (I have personally hauled a 39lb chinnook out of there). So, if you decide you are taking your boat to fish in PR anyways, this is the one safe area you can do it.
I am not encouraging you - just giving you a bit of knowledge I have learned over the past few years. Good luck.
