Red Snapper
While Lake Jackson itself is not a Red Snapper destination, its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico means relatively easy access to offshore snapper fishing. Red snapper fishing is regulated, so always check the current Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations for open seasons and size/bag limits. The best time to target red snapper is during the summer months when the season is typically open. Focus on offshore reefs, wrecks, and platforms. These structures hold large numbers of snapper. A local tip: Many local charters operate out of Freeport and offer snapper trips. Utilizing a charter can provide access to prime fishing locations and expert knowledge. Use heavy tackle and cut bait or live bait presented near the structure. Be prepared for a strong fight, and remember to vent your fish if bringing them up from deep water.
