3.34 lb. Perch at Bridgeport Reservoir

Bridgeport is still fishing pretty well for most anglers with most boats reporting anywhere from 5 to 20 fish per day. The trolling still seems to be the best with crawlers, Thomas Bouyants, Rapalas and speedy shiners. There has still been all different types of fish being caught, lots of browns and rainbows and some pretty nice perch as well. Today we had one perch come in that weighed 3 lbs 5.5 oz! Most of the browns are in the 1.5 to 4 pound range and we had rainbows up to nearly 9 pounds come in this week. There has been a few fish caught from the shore lately but the action has been mostly slow. Yesterday we had a couple 5 and 6 pounders but still most of the anglers are reporting only 0 to maybe 2 or 3 fish per day. Pinched crawlers, garlic power bait and inflated crawlers seem to be the best baits from the shore.
