Offshore Fishing in Freeport Texas
Why Serious Anglers Are Making the Short Drive to Sargent
Freeport has long been a go-to for Texas offshore anglers and for good reason. It’s one of the most established launch points on the Gulf, offering fast access to deep water, reliable fishing infrastructure, and proximity to major cities.
But more and more serious fishermen are skipping the crowds and heading just a bit farther to Sargent, Texas. There they tap into the same productive Gulf waters with faster access and a better launch point.
Less Commute. More Fishing!
10 Miles Closer to Open Water
At Texas Offshore Outfitters, we run private offshore charters out of Sargent that fish the same deep-water grounds as Freeport, but with a better setup. Sargent is at least 10 miles closer to the drop-offs than most launch towns, which means quicker access and more time on the bite.
Trade 30 minutes in the car with the air conditioning for an hour or more pounding through waves in the heat. You’ll spend less time commuting and more time doing what you came here to do.
Why Freeport Is So Popular
Freeport’s reputation is solid. It remains a dependable launch option because of:
Quick Gulf access
- A straight shot from Houston, Austin, and Dallas
- Infrastructure that includes ramps, fuel docks, bait stands, and marinas
But with all that comes:
- Crowded ramps
- Pressured fishing
- Charters that often prioritize speed over experience
Why More Anglers Are Choosing Sargent
Sargent gives you the same Gulf fishery with less traffic and a smoother experience. Just over an hour from Freeport, it offers:
- Faster runs to the fish
- More consistent action thanks to fewer boats
- Offshore trips custom built for your crew and your conditions
- Local captains who live and breathe this fishery
- Lodging right at the dock so you can wake up and go
This town may be quiet, but you will find high-quality accommodations right near the marina. Clean, well-priced, and just steps from the boat.
