I recently purchased and read the book San Francisco Bay Areas Fishing Guide by Ray Rychnovsky. 

It is an excellent primer and refresher on fishing in the San Francisco Bay Area.  It covers everything open ocean, ocean reef, near shore, beach, the entire San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay, the entrance to the delta, and many area freshwater lakes. 

There are details on which time of year for which fish and techniques for catching each type of fish.

Also incredibly useful are details on various boat launches through out the area.

The book was published written in 1999 and is therefore a little bit out of date.  For example, Sun Valley Bait and Tackle in San Mateo no longer exists. (Bummer!)

All and all this is a must read for any Bay area fisherman.  You will learn if you didn't already know and remember if you already forgot.
