Striped bass thrive in Freeport's varied water conditions, moving between saltwater channels and brackish back bays following schools of bunker, spearing, and sand eels. These powerful gamefish are most active during moving tides, particularly the two hours before and after tide changes.

The 27-inch stripers commonly caught in these waters provide excellent sport on medium tackle, with their characteristic runs and head-shaking fights.
