Bridgeport has been pretty hit and miss lately with a few good reports coming in as well as some not so good reports. There's been some fish being caught from the shore down near the dam with bait like garlic power bait, inflated crawlers and mice tails and there's been some fish also being caught trolling with crawlers, Thomas Bouyants and small Rapalas. Not a ton of action but there's still a few nice fish making a showing.
