Virg’s Landing
Setting the Standard Since 1954
In 1954, Virgil and Frieda Moores brought live bait fishing to Morro Bay on California’s Central Coast. Virg’s very first albacore trip resulted in five anglers reeling in 22 albacore! For the next six decades fishermen from all over the country to came to Virg’s Landing to hook albacore, salmon and our famous rockfish. Virg’s Landing spawned a tourism market and a boomtown waterfront on Morro Bay’s Embarcadero.
In 2022, Ron and Lisa Casey purchased Virg’s Landing with a commitment to continue the legacy of great sport fishing with superior service in Morro Bay.
A former submariner, Ron has not been a stranger to life at sea, and both he and his wife Lisa bring excitement and enthusiasm into this new venture. With a sprawling family of their own, they love the multi-generational angler families that play such a pivital role in Morro Bay’s culture!
Virg’s Landing has three Coast Guard certified vessels in the fleet, running 1/2 Day (6 hr) 3/4 Day (8 hr), Full day (10 hr), 12 hour, overnight and multi-day trips, with each vessel and their crews commited to making every trip an experience to remember!
Giving Back to the Community
Virg’s Landing supports our local community. We are sponsors of the North County Optimist Club’s Free Fishing Derbies. These free fishing derbies draw hundreds of families to Santa Margarita Lake. Many of these kids have never been fishing before and it’s a wonderful day for the families. There are prizes for every child including awards for the biggest and smallest fish, and all the families have a free lunch. Virg’s Landing is proud to be a sponsor and help introduce hundreds of kids to the joy of fishing!
Virg’s Landing has also sponsored numerous events and nonprofits in the county including the Morro Bay Harbor Festival, Art in the Park, Avocado Festival and ECHO Homeless Shelter. Ron and Lisa are always open to feedback from guests and their new community.
