Max. depth 85 ft.
Most of Lake Bridgeport's 170-mile shoreline is good bass habitat, with 7
miles of rip-rap, 90 miles of boulders, and many coves and points.
Crappie are caught when the fish school around structure in
deep water in the winter and in the spring when they come into shallow water
to spawn. Many main-lake points, ledges, and channels provide excellent
wintertime habitat.
