I don't know the Bridgeport area well but there are a couple places in the vicinity. Candlewood is within 45 minutes from the looks of it, never fished there but I've heard and read it's killer for smallies. Not sure about the Saugatuck reservoir and whether you can fish it or not. Mamanasco (sp?) is located near Ridgefield and I've heard it can be decent for bass. Bridgeport is really known for it's saltwater fishing.
