Today's Tide Times in Freeport
Today in Freeport, high tide arrives at 12:06 AM (1.8 ft) and again at 11:32 AM (1.6 ft), and low tide bottoms out at 6:45 AM (1.1 ft) and again at 6:20 PM (1.0 ft). That's a 0.9-foot swing — a gentle neap-cycle swing, so focus on dawn and dusk rather than mid-tide current.

Tomorrow starts with a high tide at 12:12 AM (1.6 ft) — see the 7-day outlook below to plan the week.

What's Biting at Freeport
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current TPWD regulations before keeping any fish.
Redfish
Sciaenops ocellatus
Season: Year-round, best in fall
Baits: Cut mullet, Live shrimp, Gold spoons
Sight-fish tailing reds on shallow flats on a flooding tide. Fall schools push bait against oyster bars and grass edges.
Black Drum
Pogonias cromis
Season: Fall through spring; big drum run the passes in late winter
Baits: Blue crab halves, Dead shrimp, Clams
A bottom fish that feeds by feel, so scent beats action: crab or shrimp on a fish-finder rig, left still on a channel edge, jetty or bridge. The late-winter run of 30-plus pound drum through Gulf and Atlantic passes is a shore-fishable event; keep the small ones, release the big breeders.
Spotted Seatrout
Cynoscion nebulosus
Season: Year-round, best in cooler months
Baits: Live shrimp under a popping cork, Soft plastics, Topwaters
Drift grass flats in 2–6 feet with a popping cork ahead of the drift. Gator trout hunt alone in skinny water at dawn.
Southern Flounder
Paralichthys lethostigma
Season: Spring and fall; the fall run to the passes is the event
Baits: Live mud minnows, Finger mullet, Gulp! shrimp on a jig head
Drag a bait slowly along the bottom at channel edges, jetty rocks and the down-current side of structure on an outgoing tide. In the fall, flounder stack in passes and inlets on their way to the Gulf or ocean; fish the drop-offs then.
Spanish Mackerel
Scomberomorus maculatus
Season: Spring and fall runs
Baits: Silver spoons, Gotcha plugs, Live pilchards
Find birds working bait and cast fast-moving metal through the frenzy. Wire or heavy fluoro — their teeth are scissors.

About Freeport
Freeport is where the Brazos River meets the Gulf, and the jetties on either side of the ship channel at Surfside Beach and Quintana are the draw: deep water close to the rocks, good current, and a year-round parade of drum, redfish, sheepshead and mackerel. The beach from Surfside up to San Luis Pass is classic Texas surf fishing, wade-fished for trout in summer and soaked with cut bait for bull reds in the fall.
