Bridgeport Fishing Report
- Jun 26, 2024
- GOOD. Water normal stained; 85 degrees; 9.19 feet below pool. All ramps are open, watch the ramp at the dam as it can be slippery. Catfish have been good on cut bait and prepared baits drifting shallow and deep flats. Crappie are good on minnows and jigs around offshore brush piles, deeper water docks and the U.S. 380 bridge. Largemouth bass fishing has been tough, the best bite has been on topwater baits early in the day. As the day warms, try a flat-billed crankbait or swimbait around main lake points that have deeper water nearby. Finesse baits around docks have been catching a few fish as well. Sand bass have been wandering the lake in large schools, look for schooling action early and late in the day. Propeller topwater baits will put them in the boat. Hybrids have been scattered, but you may see some with the schooling sand bass. Try a slab deep to pick off the hybrids under the sandies. If they are not on top, check the main lake structure on humps, ridges and drop offs. These fish are moving fast! Report by Keith Bunch, Lake Bridgeport Guide Service.
