What Fishing Is Like Around Grady Brown Park

Fishing in Freeport

Freeport gives Captain Marvin quick access to the kind of water that makes for a great charter day: protected inshore areas where we can fish comfortably, adapt to conditions, and target a variety of hard-fighting species.

Depending on season and conditions, inshore trips from this area commonly target species like speckled trout, redfish, flounder, black drum, and other inshore favorites — with tactics chosen to match your experience level and what’s working best on the day.

Why We Launch at Grady Brown Park

The biggest advantage of this launch is simple: it keeps your trip efficient.

When Captain Marvin launches from Freeport, it can reduce run time and make it easier to stay on the best water as conditions change. That means your group spends more time fishing and less time travelling.

Grady Brown Park is especially useful when the best plan is to fish the bay system — grass edges, structure, drop-offs, and productive zones that can hold fish throughout the year.
