About Our Morro Bay Fishing Reports

Virg’s Landing has been serving Morro Bay anglers since 1954. Our daily fish counts reflect actual trip results from our fleet and provide a transparent look at what’s being caught offshore and along the Central Coast.

Fishing conditions change with seasons, weather, and ocean patterns. Rockfish and lingcod are common targets for local trips, while tuna and other pelagic species may appear during warmer months. Checking recent fish counts helps anglers understand current trends and plan accordingly.
