Morro Bay: Surf & Rock Success

Fishing in Morro Bay has been consistent for both rockfish and surf perch. Rockfish are holding near structure—try using shrimp flies tipped with squid or scented soft plastics for best results. Along the beaches, surf perch are hitting on small grubs or sand crabs worked near troughs and breaks. Cooler water calls for slower presentations, but with persistence, you’ll find steady bites. This spot offers a great mix of shoreline and boat opportunities!
