Seasonal Activity Chart
Redfish
Freeport, Texas, is a redfish paradise, offering year-round opportunities in its extensive bay systems and nearshore waters. The key to success here is understanding the seasonal movements of redfish and targeting areas with abundant forage. In the spring and fall, focus on shallow flats and back lakes, where redfish are actively feeding on shrimp and crabs. During the summer, they often move to deeper waters around oyster reefs and channels. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic Freeport redfish presentation, but don't be afraid to experiment with artificial lures like soft plastics and spoons. For wade fishermen, try accessing the flats around Christmas Bay or the Brazos River delta. Be mindful of the tides, as they can significantly impact fishing conditions.
