Freeport, TX fishing report
Freeport's jetties and nearshore rigs fish differently than most Texas coast, partly because the Brazos River influence and the Bryan Mound and Freeport area platforms create structure that holds a wider mix than you'd expect this far south. Spring through early summer is prime time for kingfish working the jetty wash, while bluefish show up in good numbers when cooler water pushes through. Weakfish move through in spring, often underrated and overlooked. Fluke aren't a heavy target here the way they are up the East Coast, and tautog, striped bass, and black sea bass are genuinely limited in these waters compared to their home range.
For jetty fishing, work the down-current side during an outgoing tide when water clarity is reasonable and temps are in the mid-60s to low 70s. Kingfish respond well to fresh shrimp or cut mullet bounced along the rock base. When bluefish are running, wire-leader spoons and fast-retrieved jigs get bit quickly. On nearshore rigs, drop shrimp-tipped jigs to the structure bottom during the last two hours of outgoing tide. Avoid fishing hard after heavy rain flushes muddy Brazos water into the pass, as dirty water kills bite activity fast.
