Freeport Fishing Data
Free, sourced fishing data for Freeport and the Brazosport area — the numbers behind the site, not a weather app's guesses. Right now that means our five-year record of how often mornings were actually fishable; more datasets are on the way. See exactly how we grade a morning.
Fishable Mornings: The Conditions Archive
We have graded every morning and afternoon on this stretch of coast since June 2021, the same Good / Fair / Poor read the fishing report shows live. Here is what five years of that record says about when you can count on getting out. A morning counts as fishable when it graded Good or Fair, and only when conditions held for the whole window.
The Fishable Rate by Month
Freeport mornings, share that graded fishable (Good or Fair), averaged across 2021 through 2025.
What the Numbers Say
The pattern is the one every Brazosport angler already feels: summer mornings get out, winter mornings get blown out. From July through September, Freeport mornings were fishable at least 76% of the time, the most dependable stretch of the year.
July is the strongest month on record, with mornings fishable about 83% of the time. The slowest is April, down around 27%, when winter fronts stack up wind and seas and cancel more trips than they allow.
Spring (March through May) is the swing season: a calm window can be excellent, but a front can shut the pass for days, so the month-long average lands in the middle. That is why the planner leans on the specific window you pick, not the month as a whole.
Year by Year
Newest year first, Freeport with Galveston alongside it. The last column is coverage: how much of that year we have a graded record for. Read each port down its own years — the two are not a head-to-head (see the note below the table).
| Port | Year | Fishable | Ideal | Graded mornings | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freeport | 2025 | 54% | 22% | 365 | 100% |
| Galveston | 2025 soft coverage | 54% | 28% | 259 | 71% |
| Freeport | 2024 | 39% | 19% | 342 | 93% |
| Galveston | 2024 soft coverage | 48% | 25% | 234 | 64% |
| Freeport | 2023 soft coverage | 40% | 20% | 309 | 85% |
| Galveston | 2023 soft coverage | 47% | 22% | 212 | 58% |
| Freeport | 2022 | 50% | 23% | 364 | 100% |
| Galveston | 2022 | 50% | 25% | 364 | 100% |
| Freeport | 2021 partial (Jun–Dec) | 60% | 29% | 214 | 100% |
| Galveston | 2021 partial (Jun–Dec) | 23% | 13% | 52 | 24% |
Reading the table: 2021 is a partial year — the archive starts in June, so do not compare it against a full year. Galveston rows (shaded) have thinner coverage in some years, flagged soft coverage, so read those annual figures as directional, not exact. A weaker Freeport year next to a stronger Galveston one is usually weather plus thin Galveston data, not one port out-fishing the other — so we do not publish a head-to-head Freeport-versus-Galveston number until the two cover matching periods.
